On August 3, Geely launched its first pure electric SUV, the Galaxy E5, in Guiyang. This model is part of the Galaxy series. The company will also start the first vehicle deliveries. The new car offers five variants. The introductory price ranges from 109,800 to 145,800 yuan (20430$). Buyers will receive generous purchase benefits.
At the press conference, Geely Auto Group CEO Gan Jiayue announced the new value proposition of Geely Galaxy: “Create smart boutique cars for everyone, for a better life.” This move signifies entry into the era of new energy vehicles. Geely Galaxy, based on the “Smart Geely 2025” strategy, aims to deliver high-quality travel experiences with higher standards. It seeks to bring a better life to global users. The Geely Galaxy E5, developed with global R&D capabilities and standards, offers high-value “smart boutique cars.” It focuses on the “Five Firsts” to provide global A-class electric SUV users a reassuring, enjoyable, reliable, economical, and comfortable smart travel experience, unlocking long-term value for users.
Geely opens its hidden door handle unlocking technology to the industry. This core technology enhances user safety. Geely shares these advancements widely to improve safety in new energy vehicles. The global market lacks a satisfactory electric SUV for young families. Consumers want a product that excels in design, space, intelligence, performance, and energy efficiency. The Geely Galaxy E5 meets these needs. It serves the “new E generation” with its superior safety standards, spacious interior, comfortable driving, low energy consumption, and intelligent cockpit. It offers young families a reliable, enjoyable, and worry-free travel experience.
The Geely Galaxy E5 blends global aesthetics with Eastern culture. It emphasizes comfort in travel. The design draws inspiration from urban life across different time zones. It offers eight captivating colors: Dawn Red, Flowing Silver, Dawn White, Midnight Black, Arctic Blue, and more. The design takes cues from Chinese porcelain. It merges global appeal with Eastern elements. The front features the brand’s iconic “Ripple of Light.” It showcases a tiger-style grille and popular design elements like the sunrise-inspired tail lights and tiger-shaped headlights. The new design creates a vibrant visual experience.
The Galaxy E5 cockpit emphasizes a human-centered design. The auxiliary dashboard features a new elevated design inspired by traditional Chinese chairs. This design offers stronger support and a more comfortable travel experience. The 256-color backlit ambient light changes with driving modes. When parking or opening doors, if vehicles or pedestrians approach from behind, the door panel light flashes red as a warning. Safety standards lead the class, ensuring peace of mind for users. The Galaxy E5 debuts with the Shield Short Blade battery. This civilian-grade battery boasts military-grade safety. It passed the “8-pin puncture” test at the China Automotive Technology and Research Center. After one hour, it showed no smoke, fire, or explosion. In a 5.8mm live ammunition penetration test, it also remained safe. The same battery pack successfully completed six rigorous serial tests. The 20,000th battery pack rolled off the line on July 26 at the Guiyang factory, ensuring timely delivery for the Galaxy E5 launch.
The Geely Galaxy E5 offers top-tier space experience. It has a body size of 4615×1901×1670mm and a wheelbase of 2750mm, typical for A-class cars. Yet, it provides B-class space. The cabin boasts a remarkable “usable area rate” of 67.2%. It features an effective interior length of 1891mm. Passengers up to 1.8m tall can comfortably stretch their legs in the back seat. The usable area inside reaches 4.03㎡, which is equivalent to an extra office desk compared to competitors.
The Galaxy E5 features 33 storage spaces, 10 more than similar models. The rear seat has a 14L “privacy drawer” for shoes, kids’ toys, and snacks. The trunk offers a 51L recessed storage area for larger items like soccer balls and fishing boxes. Its dual-layer design separates wet and dry items, effectively blocking odors. The Galaxy E5 provides top comfort and ease of driving. It uses Geely’s G-TCS all-weather anti-slip system. This system works with the Galaxy’s 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive. It enables microsecond software control. On wet, slippery roads, it reduces slip by over 50%. Cornering speeds increase by 6-10 km/h, significantly reducing skidding. The car also features Geely’s “heartbeat fitting technology,” which greatly lowers motion sickness risks.
The vehicle achieves the lowest energy consumption in its class, providing users with peace of mind. The Geely Galaxy E5 features the Galaxy 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive. It boasts the lightest weight, smallest size, strongest power, and highest efficiency in its category. It breaks the 90% efficiency barrier for IGBT electric drives, reaching 90.04%. Geely’s self-developed “Magic Cube” thermal management system offers ultra-high integration with 20-in-1 capabilities. These breakthroughs allow the Galaxy E5 to achieve the lowest energy consumption of 11.9 kWh per 100 km in its class. The smart cockpit ranks first in its class, ensuring user comfort. The Galaxy E5 uses Geely’s self-developed Galaxy Flyme Auto system. Built on years of experience with the Meizu Flyme operating system, it runs smoothly on Geely’s 7nm automotive-grade chip, “Dragon Eagle One.” The system responds quickly, transitions seamlessly, and is user-friendly with a wide ecosystem. Its unique “Small Window Mode” and “SmartBar” dynamic island address many temporary interaction needs. They allow users to zoom in and out, making the Galaxy E5 as easy to use as a smartphone.
Geely Galaxy E5 showcases Geely’s global R&D capabilities. It combines top global designs and integrates worldwide standards and technologies. This high-quality “smart boutique car” enriches the Galaxy series with “hybrid + electric” and “sedan + SUV” options. It covers the mainstream new energy market. Geely aims to meet consumer travel needs with high-quality, competitively priced products. The simultaneous development for left and right-hand drives highlights Geely’s strength in global competition. Geely also leverages its comprehensive and advanced electrification and intelligence systems. It fully embraces new energy transformation and enters a critical growth phase. With the global launch of the Galaxy E5, Geely will lead Chinese new energy vehicles through high-value, high-standard products. This approach will help maintain its global competitive edge.
