On February 23, Geely Automobile released the new mid-to-high-end new energy series "Geely Galaxy". Geely Galaxy smart electric prototype car "Galaxy Light" made a stunning debut; Geely Galaxy's first smart electric hybrid SUV "Geely Galaxy" Galaxy L7” makes its global debut and is available for pre-order. Each release is considered to be a big deal if listed individually. But throughout the entire press conference, Geely Galaxy’s full “confidence” from beginning to end was the most impressive.
Where does this contagious confidence come from? Let's find out together.
1. Leading the value of new energy, Geely Galaxy is well prepared
Unlike many "new power" brands that are secretive and reluctant to talk, Geely Automobile CEO Gan Jia When Yue took the stage, he said: "New energy vehicles will be cold in 2023, upstream raw materials will skyrocket, and Tesla will launch a price reduction banner." Such truths caused a lot of screams on the scene.
But he immediately changed the topic and talked about Geely Automobile's strategic and technological transformation from the "Ningbo Declaration" to calmly respond to the financial crisis in 2008; in the era of premium cars 3.0, Geely has become the new business card of Chinese automobiles. I also recalled that in 2014, when sales of China's independent brands plummeted by 24%, and Geely Auto was also struggling, Geely Auto was focusing on the mid-to-high-end market, focusing on building high-quality, high-tech and high-value-added cars represented by the new Borui and Boyue. Premium models have achieved a "triple jump in sales". Since 2017, sales have exceeded one million for six consecutive years.
In the current Chinese new energy vehicle market, the industry is changing from a "policy cultivation period" to a "comprehensive marketization" drive; from the user perspective, the new energy market penetration rate has reached 27.6%, but there are still " There are many pain points such as "discounted battery life", "unsafe battery", "frequent loss of control during intelligent driving"; as far as brands are concerned, independent brands already have an absolute market share in China's new energy market... There are various signs. As China's new energy has reached a turning point in development, it is facing the transition from the first stage of extensive growth to the second stage of "value improvement".
In Geely’s view, the huge changes in the market are both challenges and opportunities. Geely Automobile is ready to lead China's new energy into a new stage of upward value development.
2. Galaxy Light is the most confident expression of China’s smart electric car
The prototype car Galaxy Light is unveiled. The integration of traditional Chinese aesthetics and Geely’s scientific and technological wisdom is very different from the height of common electric vehicles. The homogeneous design attracted exclamations from the scene.
The new logo of Geely Galaxy is composed of six rounded rectangles, inspired by the Geely shield. It expresses the digital vision of binary code with the rhythm of two colors, symbolizing the green energy obtained from nature. It also symbolizes the new energy power that drives cars.
The minimalism exudes a sense of high-end, which is reminiscent of the Chinese aesthetic conception of "a round sky and a square earth", echoing the design language of the entire vehicle.
The "ripples of light" front face, "flying eaves and tiger eyes" headlights, and "flying wings and double eaves" taillights give a more vivid expression to the inheritance and evolution of Geely's ripple aesthetics in the new era, which is also a good example for Geely The carrier of the concept of integrated space and earth car manufacturing.
The "Galaxy Light" is 5100mm long, 1980mm wide and 1400mm high. It is a wide-body electric coupe with a low center of gravity. The "crouching tiger" posture is looming under the rational proportions of the body, like a "crouching tiger" Ready to go. The body lines are simple and natural, and the drag coefficient is as low as 0.19, setting the lowest drag record in its class.
The Galaxy cockpit with the theme of Xizi Waterfront embodies the romance of the Chinese people. Injecting smart cockpits, natural beauty and technological beauty can exist harmoniously.
Relying on a world-class new energy architecture, Galaxy Light brings users a more spacious seating space and a more transparent cockpit layout. Through the through-type giant screen, a technological atmosphere surrounded by the Milky Way is created, and the entire West Lake is reproduced in the cockpit, creating an atmosphere of "the Milky Way in the sky is surrounded by the West Lake on the ground"
The left and right door panels seem to be shining brightly. The Galaxy scroll brings an immersive experience, and the double-opening butterfly doors and reversible curved screen bring a strong technological atmosphere. The light Xizi blue leather color and natural bamboo fiber carpet make it look like the full West Lake. Water flows throughout the space, and humanistic theme elements such as the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon, the West Bank, and the Mountains of Books are integrated and intertwined in the cabin, creating a leisurely humanistic and technological space.
Based on this, Geely Galaxy is extremely confident in the seven products it will launch one after another in the next two years, which also makes consumers full of expectations.
3. Galaxy, Thor, Aegis, Geely Galaxy’s “killer trump card”
The competitiveness of products must ultimately return to the core competitiveness of technology. The Geely Galaxy series is full of confidence from the beginning with the support of Aegis Battery, Thor Electric Hybrid 8848, and Galaxy N OS new operating system.
Geely's original "Aegis Battery Safety System" not only prevents spontaneous combustion of battery cells, but also builds a complete set of "no blind spots" safety protection based on batteries that integrates architecture, vehicle, intelligent control, and cloud. The system can ensure the safety of systems such as battery packs and battery modules through 8 layers of shields including "ten-grid patented architecture, vehicle cage protection, safe and worry-free fast charging, and BMS3.0 'Battery Doctor' intelligent control system" .
In addition, the Aegis battery safety system is the first in the industry to provide radiation protection that goes deep into the cellular level to avoid damage to humans by electromagnetic radiation. Thanks to the structural safety development system, Geely Galaxy is the first to achieve bottoming impact at 30 kilometers per hour and the entire vehicle bottoming at 20 kilometers per hour without damage, solving the fatal safety problem caused by "bottoming collision" of electric vehicles. Relying on the 81 petaflops cloud computing power support of Geely Star Intelligent Computing Center, the Aegis battery safety system can protect more than 200 electronic control items in real time, provide early warning for more than 50 types of faults, and increase battery life by 20%.
The new generation Thor electric hybrid 8848, which is taken from the altitude of 8848 meters above Mount Everest, most directly demonstrates Geely Galaxy’s determination to continuously climb to the top of global thermal efficiency.
In terms of thermal efficiency, the new-generation Thor electric hybrid engine B-Plus equipped on the Thor electric hybrid 8848 has achieved a mass production peak thermal efficiency of 44.26%, and the next-generation Thor electric hybrid engine has a thermal efficiency exceeding 46%. Already in the verification stage. In terms of performance, the Thor electric hybrid 8848 "three-speed variable frequency electric drive" has evolved again. It is the world's first intelligent electric drive to realize P1+P2 dual motor overclocking drive. The combined power of the two drives reaches 287kW. It will be released later to achieve a comprehensive power of 488kW. Super performance version. In terms of intelligent control, Raytheon Electric Hybrid 8848 launches the industry's first predictive energy management system, which can increase energy saving rate by up to 15%. The newly added intelligent health management function ensures the safe operation of the electric hybrid system at all times.
The new Galaxy N OS system has a faster response speed, a more sci-fi UI style, and the voice wake-up response time only takes 0.5 seconds.
In addition, Geely’s Galaxy satellite space-ground integrated high-precision positioning system has passed vehicle regulations. This system will support the Galaxy smart driving solution, greatly improving its positioning accuracy. In 2025, Geely will complete the layout of 72 low-orbit satellites.
@同君:
The strategic release of Geely Galaxy New Energy, the concentrated display of its cutting-edge technology by ‘car maker’ Geely is certainly worthy of praise. However, as the leader of China's independent brands, Geely Galaxy's "confidence" from cultural expression, technological innovation to brand comprehensive innovation with Geely Galaxy as the carrier is even more touching.
Because you are confident, you will be fearless. In front of the Milky Way is the sea of ??stars!
