Geely Galaxy E8 sells 175,800 SEA architecture／comes standard with 45-inch 8K large screen +8295 chip.
[Pacific Auto] On January 5th, Geely (|) officially went on the market, with a price range of 175.8-225.8 million yuan. Five models were launched, including 400V and 800V versions, and three versions of 550km, 665km and 620km were provided for pure battery life.
Yinhe E8 is the first pure electric car of Geely Yinhe series, which is based on SEA architecture, adopts a brand-new design style, and has many bright spots, such as only 0.199Cd, equipped with the first mass-produced integrated luminous front face; Equipped with ultra-wide 45-inch 8K unbounded smart screen and built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip; The performance control performance is also outstanding, with an acceleration of 3.49 seconds, and the passing speed reached 82km/h in the elk test of KM77. Combined with the selling price, is Galaxy E8 the most worthwhile pure electric car? Let’s analyze it below.
When the new car went on the market, it also launched a wealth of car rights, including:
1. Expansion gift: 2,000 yuan and 8,000 yuan for the final payment of the car purchase;
2. Upgrade ceremony: 6000 yuan optional fund;
3. Replacement gift: 8,000 yuan replacement subsidy for any brand;
4. Financial gift: 80,000 fixed loans with 24 installments of 0 interest or 15% low down payment for 5 years;
5. Warranty ceremony: The first non-operating owner enjoys the lifetime warranty of Sandian, and the whole vehicle is guaranteed for 6 years or 150,000 kilometers;
6. Traffic gift: The first car owner enjoys five-year unlimited and unlimited basic traffic for life;
7. Delivery gift: Free charging pile, original awning sunshade and luxurious foot pad.
Whether the design is good or not is a matter of opinion. You can see that the real car has its own conclusion, but the Galaxy E8 is still quite distinctive in design. First of all, as a pure electric car, it adopts the low center of gravity, big sliding back and frameless door design that everyone likes, but it has its own innovation in details. For example, the world’s first mass-produced integrated luminous front face consists of 158 luminous windows, with a luminous area of 0.105 square meters. With the patented technology of micropore laser carving, it can present rich luminous effects such as welcoming farewell, flowing water, jumping water and music show.
The design of the penetrating taillights at the tail is also quite special, very layered, and some are visual. The interior is composed of 390 LED beads, and the lighting effect at night is good.
Another thing that has to be mentioned is that the drag coefficient of Geely Galaxy E8 is only 0.199 Cd, thanks to the low drag design of 25 places in the whole vehicle, such as low-lying front, streamlined body, external AGS active air intake grille and low wind resistance closed pneumatic rim. What is this concept? For reference, it is 0.23Cd and 0.219Cd.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Geely Yinhe E8 are 5010/1920/1465mm and the wheelbase is 2925mm respectively. The overall size is close to that of Han, and the length and wheelbase are larger.
The biggest highlight of the interior is this 45-inch Dalian screen, with a length of 1157mm, a height of 159mm, an image resolution of 8K, and an effective display area of 1130 mm * 138 mm. Its width is the widest among the current production models, and its visual effect is really first-class, especially when playing games.
In addition, Galaxy E8 is also equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 flagship cockpit chip and brand-new vehicle system. The chip adopts 5nm process technology, and the 3D rendering performance of GPU is 3 times higher than that of 8155, and the GPU is 2 times higher. The AI computing power is even more terrible at 30TOPS, which is 7.5 times that of 8155 chip. About the experience of this train system, I won’t expand it here.

Other configurations, such as 25.6-inch AR-HUD head-up display, INFINITY hi-fi 12 sound system, 256-color ambient light, co-pilot lying flat seat, executive-level electric luxury rear seat, etc., have the same technological entertainment and comfortable configuration.
In terms of power, Geely Galaxy E8 offers single-motor rear drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive options, of which the single-motor version is 200kW；; The maximum power of the front motor is 165kW, the maximum power of the rear motor is 310kW, and the comprehensive power is 475kW. The acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 3.49 seconds, and the top speed can reach 210 km/h.
It is worth mentioning that although the length of Galaxy E8 is more than 5 meters, it can reach 5.62m meters, even smaller than Model 3 with smaller body size, which makes it more flexible, which means it is more convenient to turn around. In addition, in terms of handling, the passing speed of KM77 in the elk test is as high as 82km/h, which means that its chassis handling performance is also excellent.
As a pure electric vehicle, I have to mention the 800V high-voltage platform. The official said that the Galaxy E8 is a battery, motor, electronic control and thermal management system with a global 800V, which can achieve a battery life of 180km in 5 minutes. In terms of battery life, it provides three battery life versions of 550km, 620km and 665km.
First of all, in terms of intelligent driving, the intelligent driving version of Galaxy E8 is equipped with a solid-state laser radar. According to official data, it has ultra-wide viewing angle, ultra-long ranging and zoom "staring" function.
This year, Geely will also bring Galaxy Smart Driving 2.0, which is a high-level smart driving scheme focusing on "NOA for urban commuting", that is, through repeated memory and repeated training of "point-to-point" high-frequency routes, thus achieving safer and more practical results. This intelligent driving scheme will be first built on the Galaxy E8 intelligent driving version, and various functions will be opened one after another this year.
In terms of energy replenishment, Geely Galaxy will directly share the energy replenishment system of the Group’s "Thousands of Stations and Thousands of Piles" and access more than 880 charging stations with extremely krypton energy, covering 137 cities across the country. Among them, the number of ultra-fast filling piles reached 2409, and the number of self-built ultra-fast filling piles by car companies ranked first.
Geely has also planned an exclusive "energy-supplementing park" for Galaxy users, with 300 in 2024. In addition, more than 95% of the country’s charging resources have been integrated, covering 330 major cities, and the number of available charging piles has reached 600,000.
Finally, the product lineup of Galaxy brand was revealed at the press conference. In addition to the existing Galaxy L7, L6 and E8, Geely Galaxy will launch five new models in the next two years to further expand the family product series.

It must be said that the competition of pure electric cars is quite fierce recently, and the newly launched models are more fierce than each other, such as Zhijie S7 (price: 249,800-349,800 yuan), Xingyue ES (price: 225,800-339,800 yuan), Extreme Krypton 007 (209,900-299,900 yuan), and just released last month. Of course, there are a number of established rivals, such as the new Tesla Model 3 (price: 261,400-297,400 yuan), I (price: 223,900-339,900 yuan) and BYD Han EV (price: 20.98-299,800 yuan) and so on.

Byd Han EV
However, from the price range, they are not direct competitors with Galaxy E8, but more dislocation competition, which makes the performance-price ratio of Galaxy E8 more prominent. Compared with the new competitors, after all, the similar body size is also in an echelon in terms of acceleration performance, charging and battery life, which is still attractive enough.
Compared with the old players, such as BYD Han EV, it is younger and more scientific in internal and external design, and has advantages in power performance, charging life and handling performance. In particular, the very handsome design of the coupe style and the 45-inch Dalian screen make it more attractive to those young people.
Let’s take a look at the basic configuration information first. In terms of appearance color, Galaxy E8 provides six colors: first snow silver, misty grey, willow frost white, autumn apricot yellow, begonia powder and Zhiqiu red, while the interior provides three colors: first snow white, lake mirror grey and star orange. It should be noted that the interior colors are first snow white and lake mirror grey (550 km).
In terms of configuration, the official said that the whole system comes standard with 139 configurations, which is quite rich. Specifically, first of all, in terms of active and passive safety, it is full, including the number of airbags and electronic auxiliary systems. Secondly, it is equally rich in comfort and intelligent configuration. Most notably, the 45-inch 8K unbounded smart screen and the 8295 chip are all standard.
Specific to the model version, the 550km MAX with a price of 185,800 yuan is the first, and both comfort configuration and technology configuration are taken into account, taking into account a more comprehensive car experience. If you pay more attention to pure battery life, go directly to the 665km starship voyage version of 198,800 yuan. The remaining two versions are easy to choose. In pursuit of intelligent driving, you can go to the intelligent driving version, and in pursuit of dynamic performance, you can go to the performance version. The price in the early 200,000 s can give 800V high-voltage platform and 3.49 seconds of zero acceleration, and the cost performance is still outstanding.
At present, the competition of pure electric cars is fierce, and new cars emerge one after another. In addition to the rejuvenation of the old gunners such as Tesla Model 3 and Tucki P7i, there are also 12, Zhijie S7, Xingyue ES, Extreme Krypton 007, Xiaomi SU7, and then Extreme Yue 07, Lingke 07, etc., and the price also covers the range of 200,000-400,000 yuan. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most competitive market segment.
Yinhe E8, as a medium and large-sized pure electric car, has a length of over 5 meters, and also relies on Geely SEA architecture platform. It has a very good foundation, and its performance can be said to be the level of the first echelon in terms of power performance, handling performance and three-electric system. Coupled with the brilliant internal and external design, the overall product strength is still strong enough. Moreover, Galaxy E8 mainly focuses on the range of about 200,000, especially the entry price has been lowered to 175,800, which has a strong lethality, and it is bound to have a big impact on the joint venture market. Do you think the price of Galaxy E8 is enough to attract you? Leave your opinion in the comments section!
The word "SEA architecture" is often heard in Geely’s new cars recently listed. I believe everyone understands the concept of "architecture". What are the characteristics and advantages of Geely’s SEA architecture? What models are currently in use?
According to the official, the SEA structure was built by Geely’s R&D centers in China, Sweden, Britain and Germany, which took five years and invested 20 billion yuan. Anyway, it is the most powerful structure of Geely Collective. Nearly 10 brands of cars, such as, polar star, polar krypton, polar yue and Geely, are already in use.
These brands have so many spans that they can all use this architecture? Yes, SEA architecture can achieve full-size coverage from E-class cars, and can meet all modeling needs of cars, cars, small city cars, sports cars, pickup trucks and future travel vehicles.
SEA architecture is not a traditional automobile manufacturing platform, but a multi-dimensional intelligent life body composed of hardware layer, system layer and ecological layer under the blessing of global security concept, which belongs to pure electric original architecture.
This includes many aspects, such as three electricity, intelligence, safety, control, etc., all of which have corresponding requirements and concepts. I don’t want to expand them one by one here. The three electric systems that everyone is most concerned about include electric drive, electric management and electric ecology, such as: intelligent management of new generation BMS batteries and big data health management algorithm; "Star Smart Computing Center" cloud security monitoring, 7×24-hour all-weather monitoring; Long battery life, 3000 cycles of charging, 2 million kilometers of long life; SiC silicon carbide three-in-one electric drive, 97.86% highest efficiency, 20% power increase, 800V high-voltage overcharge, charging for 5 minutes, battery life of 180km.
