With the transformation of the automotive industry, users' consumption habits are also changing. For consumers, how to balance performance and cost performance has always been a headache, and it is not easy to pick a car at a price of more than 100,000 yuan.
On June 26th, with the large team driving to Yancheng, enjoying the scenery along the road, there is not only a unique landform of a coastal city, but also China Automotive Research Institute is located here. And the absolute protagonist of this test drive is Geely's Galaxy E5.
Since its world debut in May last year, the buzz about the Galaxy E5 has only increased. The reason why Volkswagen has higher expectations for this car is not only that it is the first compact pure electric SUV under Geely Galaxy, but also that it integrates the original design of Chinese Qiyun, 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive, and Flyme Auto intelligent cockpit.
This test drive experience will also present the charm of Galaxy E5 to everyone one by one.
Inherit the ripple aesthetics of light, and the space is also more sufficient
In this era where appearance is justice, consumers will unconsciously be attracted by excellent appearance. For those who are still hesitant how to choose, the Geely Galaxy E5 definitely stands up to the word amazing.
Entering the test car, the high appearance of the Galaxy E5 was the first to come into view. Unlike other models in the same class, based on the insight of the global market, the Bank E5 is more inclined to do restrained subtraction in design.
Among them, the overall design continues to adopt the family-style design language - Ripples of Light. The front face adopts a tiger face bionic design, combined with the dynamic lines of modern technology, which has both strength and beauty; The brand super symbol is retained, and the logo is half-inlaid into the ripples of light, creating a unique brand recognition; The Eaves Tiger headlights use lens-type LEDs, which can effectively illuminate the length of about 2 football fields, and can light up 6 lanes in both directions at the same time, minimizing the blind spot on the road ahead.
At the same time, it is also equipped with tiger whisker C-shaped lights to enhance the layering of the front face and further enhance the recognition of the vehicle.
In addition, the new car's newly designed smart shape, unique corner window design, through-type taillights, smart wheels, and hidden door handles are all very artistic.
After entering the car, the spacious waiting space gives the user a sense of security. Bank E5 has a body size of 4615×1901×1670mm and a wheelbase of 2750mm, at the same time, the rear space is spacious enough and covers 33 storage spaces, which relieves users from the trouble of being squeezed.
For the brand, while adhering to the concept of "people-oriented", it is also striving to create a "comfortable global car".
The sub-instrument panel in the car adopts a new high-ceiling design, which is in line with the ergonomic design of the user's driving habits, with stronger support and higher fit; It has a 1.18 square meter openable panoramic sunroof, which provides 3.39 square meters of lighting area for the whole vehicle, and the front exhaust air outlet is thoughtfully designed with physical buttons to provide a variety of control modes to bring more uniform, fast and convenient temperature control. The rear row is independently vented to meet the individual needs of different users in all scenarios.
Interestingly, the Galaxy E5 has a variety of colors for users to choose from, both outside and inside. There are 8 colors of the body, namely glow red, evening cherry pink, morning fog gray, azure green, dawn white, streamer silver, midnight black, and aurora green; The interior is available in three colours: Cloud White, Neon Neon and Twilight Blue.
Better performance, better ride
During this test drive, the on-site media was not only attracted by the core strength of the car, but also its strong hard power is even more commendable. As a product that consumers like to see, performance is one of the hard indicators to test whether a car is qualified.
Galaxy E5 is equipped with an 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive, with a volume of only 72L, which is more than 12% smaller than the mainstream of the industry; Weighs only 79.8kg, which is 14% lower than the industry mainstream, while the lighter weight and smaller volume can effectively improve performance and reduce energy consumption. The efficiency of the Galaxy E5 is as high as 90.04%, and the lowest power consumption is only 11.9 kWh per 100 kilometers.
The continuous breakthrough in power technology has also allowed the Galaxy E5 to achieve good results in the process of comparing with models of the same level. In the comparative test, the Bank E5 won the first place with a 0~100km/h acceleration time of 6.9s and a high ring speed of 180km/h. At the same time, it also won the first place in the elk test with a record of 78.3km/h, and even when turning with a minimum radius of 5.4m, it was easy to make a U-turn in the inside lane.
It is worth mentioning that the Galaxy 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive has also won the "five-star certification of quality electric drive", and it is also the first high-quality electric drive to obtain the five-star certification of China Automotive Research Institute.
The so-called five-star refers to the evaluation of the electric drive system around the five dimensions of "power performance, energy efficiency performance, noise quality, electromagnetic safety, and power safety", which is the evaluation and certification of the electric drive system with higher technical requirements at all levels, multiple dimensions and higher technical requirements in the industry.
In addition, the Galaxy E5 is equipped with the GEA architecture, which improves performance while providing a more stable chassis. The architecture is based on security, intelligence, and efficiency, and can be applied to the ultra-large bandwidth of A~D models to achieve ultra-high space utilization in the same class.
With Geely's self-developed next-generation GEEA 3.0 electronic and electrical architecture, the new car can achieve centralized computing power and hierarchical decoupling of software logic, enabling ecological development and user experience improvement.
In the subsequent 100 km braking distance test, the bank E5 also performed well, winning a "35m" score. This is thanks to the OneBox intelligent integrated braking system, which integrates ESC, vacuum booster, and electronic vacuum pump functions. The advantage is that it can achieve a pipeline pressure response speed of 10Mpa within 150ms, which is equivalent to providing the strength of an adult male to step on the pedal in the blink of an eye, which is 2.3 times higher than ESP.
Of course, it will also be equipped with Geely's self-developed G-TCS all-weather drive anti-skid system and GCSS drive auxiliary steering control (OTA) and other configurations, all of which make the Galaxy E5 show extraordinary safety and stability during driving.
Strengthen intelligent labeling
If you say, the high-value appearance design and excellent performance give the galaxy E5 a rich layer of filters. Then, the ever-increasing scientific and technological attributes have perfected its spiritual core.
For a long time, Geely's car machine system has been criticized by the outside world for a long time. After the acquisition of Meizu, Meizu's years of experience in smartphones have made up for Geely's disadvantages in car machines, and now some of Geely's models have greatly improved the user experience in car machines.
Geely Galaxy E5 adopts the same Flyme Auto in-vehicle system as the Lynk & Co 08, which links the deep relationship between people and Jingyi cars with scientific and technological temperature, helping users create a new generation of unbounded integration space.
At the same time, it has a built-in self-developed "Dragon Eagle No. 1" 7nm chip, CPU computing power of 100K DMIPS, GPU computing power of 900G FLOPS, AI computing power of 8 TOPS, running memory up to 16G, which can effectively avoid lagging, and the actual usable storage space is up to 64G, and the reserved space is sufficient. With the blessing of cloud computing power, it achieves 10.2 billion trillion times per second.
Of course, the car is also equipped with a 15.4-inch 2.5K ultra-high-definition central control screen, a 10.2-inch full LCD instrument, a 13.8-inch large-format HUD and navigation and telephone synchronization functions, truly realizing four-screen linkage.
In addition, Flyme Link's driver connectivity is also a key feature of the in-vehicle system. Users holding the Meizu 21 Pro mobile phone can use this function to connect with the car machine, map the mobile phone interface to the car machine in real time, and operate the mobile phone APP through the large screen on the car machine.
Based on this test drive experience, Geely Galaxy E5 presents the unique charm of "good looking", "good intelligence" and "easy driving" with its products. As the launch of the new car approaches, the outside world is also full of expectations.
