As a new mid-to-high-end new energy vehicle under the Geely Automobile brand, the Geely Galaxy series was launched relatively late. However, in terms of sales, the Geely Galaxy series has performed exceptionally well.
By May this year, the cumulative sales of the Galaxy L6 and Galaxy L7 models have exceeded 120.000 units. In the fiercely competitive new energy vehicle market, achieving an average monthly sales volume of over 10.000 units as a "latecomer" is indeed commendable.
At the beginning of January this year, the Geely Galaxy's third model, the Galaxy E8. was officially launched. This car is positioned as a mid-to-large pure electric sedan. The Galaxy E8. which focuses on technology and sportiness, has also performed well among models in the same class.
Recently, the much-anticipated new Geely Galaxy model, the Galaxy E5. officially debuted. It is positioned as a compact pure electric SUV and is also the first pure electric SUV under the Geely Galaxy brand.
As the title suggests, if you plan to purchase a compact pure electric SUV in the near future and are not in a hurry, I suggest waiting for this car to be released before making a decision.
The reasons for this recommendation are based on the following points:
1. High Originality and Aesthetics in Exterior Design:
The Galaxy E5. like the Galaxy E8. adopts the "Chinese Charm" aesthetic elements in its exterior design and has won several awards, including the Red Dot Product Design Award, the German iF Design Award, and the Italian A'Design Platinum Award. This indicates that Geely has put considerable effort into the Galaxy E5. Gaining such honors for a simple exterior design is rare among domestic compact pure electric SUVs.
2. Impressive Intelligent Configurations:
The Galaxy E5 is built on the GEEA 3.0 electronic and electrical architecture, equipped with the Flyme Auto vehicle system and a 7nm automotive-grade chipset, providing strong computing power. It also features four-screen linkage functions, integrating the central control screen, instrument panel, head-up display, and smartphone. It is said to rival the smoothness of Huawei's HarmonyOS vehicle system. Additionally, the car will be equipped with AI assistant, high-speed OTA, and the "Unbounded Voice" panoramic sound system, which are highly anticipated features.
3. Advanced Powertrain:
The Galaxy E5 is equipped with Geely Galaxy's latest 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive and CTB battery-body integration technology, along with Geely's self-developed "God Shield" short-blade battery. Coupled with a class-leading low drag coefficient of 0.269. the official data indicates a power consumption of 11.9 kWh per 100 kilometers, lower than many similar pure electric models. The pure electric range options include 440 kilometers and 530 kilometers.
The new car will be officially launched in the second half of the year, with the price expected to range from 150.000 to 200.000 yuan. However, according to predictions, the official price may be even lower.
In summary, do you think this new pure electric SUV, which boasts so many highlights, is worth the wait?
