On February 23rd, Geely Automobile held the "Geely Galaxy New Energy Strategy Conference" with the theme of "Smart Electric or Geely" at the main venue of Hangzhou Asian Games. In short, the conference was summarized as: 2 series, 7 cars in 2 years, and released a number of leading technologies. Geely Galaxy is only a high-value new energy vehicle, which is not only a symbol of Geely's new direction, but also promotes the accelerated realization of the "Smart Geely 2025" strategy.
The positioning is clear and clear. Geely Galaxy only makes high-value new energy vehicles.
"Geely Galaxy only makes high-value new energy vehicles", which was repeatedly emphasized by Gan Jiayu, CEO of Geely Automobile Group, at the press conference. At first glance, the word "high value" may be somewhat hollow, and it is impossible to accurately define what "high value" is. In fact, we can get a general understanding from the market development trend and the current pain points of users. ?
The data shows that in 2022, the domestic retail sales of new energy passenger cars reached 5,674,300. At the same time, the market penetration rate of new energy vehicles reached 27.6%, and new energy vehicles continued to maintain a high growth trend. However, with the withdrawal of state subsidy policy, the industry is changing from "policy cultivation period" to "complete marketization", and new energy vehicles still have user pain points such as "discounted cruising range", "unsafe battery" and "intelligent driving is out of control frequently".
In addition, although Geely Automobile is not slow on the road of electrification and has good market performance in Krypton, Geometry and Sharp Blue, before the release of Geely Galaxy, there were only a handful of new energy vehicles for C-end consumers under the Geely brand.
Therefore, whether from the market development trend, the current pain points of users or the layout of Geely's own brand products, Geely must accelerate the pace of transformation and bring "high-value new energy vehicles" to users.
L/E two-sequence Geely Galaxy empowers high value with leading technology.
Now that the loud slogan has been made public, it needs detailed planning and real skills to achieve the goal. ?
Specifically, Geely Galaxy will launch two series: intelligent hybrid L series and intelligent pure electric E series. The former adopts Geely Galaxy intelligent hybrid architecture, covering A0-B intelligent hybrid products, while the latter adopts Geely Galaxy intelligent pure electric architecture, covering A-D intelligent pure electric products, and seven products will be launched within two years. Among them, four models belong to the intelligent electric hybrid L series. The first electric hybrid SUV Yinhe L7 and the first electric hybrid car Yinhe L6 will be delivered in the second and third quarters of this year respectively. The other three models belong to the intelligent pure electric E series, and the first pure electric product E8 will be delivered in the fourth quarter of this year.
At the same time, both the intelligent hybrid L series and the intelligent pure electric E series will be built based on a series of subversive new energy electrification technologies of Geely Galaxy, and the leading technologies will give high value to the products.
The first is the Aegis battery safety system, which combines the safety design factors of architecture, vehicles, intelligent control and cloud, and can effectively prevent the battery from spontaneous combustion. Through eight shields, such as "ten-grid patent, cage protection, worry-free fast charging, BMS3.0'' battery doctor'' intelligent control system", the safety of battery pack and battery module is ensured, and the battery life is improved by 20%. ?
Secondly, the new generation of Raytheon electric hybrid-"Raytheon electric hybrid 8848" has achieved remarkable upgrade and evolution in thermal efficiency, performance and intelligent control. The thermal efficiency of the new generation Raytheon electric hybrid engine B-Plus is as high as 44.26%, and the "three-speed variable frequency electric drive" is the first intelligent electric drive in the world to realize the overclocking drive of P 1+P2 dual motors, and the combined power of the two drives reaches 287kW. In addition, in terms of intelligent control, thanks to the predictive energy management system, the energy saving rate of Raytheon electric hybrid 8848 can be increased by 15% at the highest. ?
Thirdly, Geely's self-developed distributed operating system, "Yinhe N OS", not only has a brand-new UI style and a beautiful silky micro-motion effect of Yinhe, but also brings more accurate recognition, full scene visibility and millisecond response through the communication between the system layer and the brand-new voice engine.
It is worth mentioning that the "integration of heaven and earth" version of the Galaxy intelligent driving scheme based on Geely Satellite will also be launched soon. At present, Galaxy House can stop in time when cruising at a speed of 90km/h, which further improves the safety compared with the mainstream 60km/h.. In addition, the centimeter-level satellite high-precision positioning module independently developed by Geely has also passed the vehicle code certification.
"The Light of the Galaxy" appeared in Geely Galaxy L7, so book it now.
In the preview video released by Geely, a coupe-style model "still hides half of her face from us behind her guitar". At that time, many people thought it would be the first model of Geely Galaxy, but this was not the case. Officially unveiled at the press conference-"The Light of the Galaxy". ?
This car is an intelligent electric prototype of Geely Yinhe. It inherits the iconic ripple aesthetics of Geely family in styling design, incorporates the new aesthetics of modern technology, and embodies the concept of Geely's integration of heaven and earth. All models of Geely Yinhe brand will be based on the design of this prototype, just like the first mass production product of Geely Yinhe L7. ?
In terms of appearance design, Geely Yinhe L7 adopts the aesthetic design language of Yinhe Ripple, which is the only intelligent electric hybrid SUV with fully enclosed air intake grille. Galaxy's colorful white body and black suspended roof design create a more fashionable visual effect. ?
For the interior, the Geely Galaxy L7 is equipped with 10.25-inch instrument+13.2-inch central control screen+16.2-inch auxiliary driving screen, which is full of science and technology, supplemented by 25.6-inch AR HUD, and can realize four-screen intelligent interaction. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 155 chip, 50w wireless charging, crystal ring light curtain, hidden door handle, headrest audio and other configurations are readily available.
Even, Geely Galaxy L7 has created a "queen-class" luxury experience for the co-pilot with a million-level standard. The legroom of the co-pilot seat of 630mm is the largest at present, and the seat can be laid down to 125 degrees. The distance between the eyes and the screen is 860mm, supplemented by 4-way electric leg rest, infinity audio and chair massage physiotherapy, which fully reflects the high-value driving experience.
In terms of power, Geely Galaxy L7 is equipped with Raytheon hybrid 8848 "three-speed variable frequency electric drive" power system, which accelerates to 6.9 seconds at zero speed, and its performance is ahead of most 2.0T fuel vehicles at the same level, supporting the ejection start. At the same time, its fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 5.23L, and the comprehensive cruising range of CLTC can reach 1.370 km.
Automobile evaluation
As Gan, CEO of Geely Automobile Group, said, "The release of Geely Galaxy's new energy strategy is not only a concentrated display of Geely's cutting-edge technology as a" car maker ",but also a carrier for Geely's brand to open to the new." In the face of the great changes in the automobile industry in the past century, Geely Automobile has made all preparations and made solid steps step by step towards the "sea of stars".
