Seven new cars were released in two years. When you hear this news, you will be "conditioned" and think that it is another "new force". Oh, no, PPT is unwilling to be lonely and make money. Oh, it's Geely, that's all right!
No, Geely Group already has so many brands and models, why should it go out of Galaxy? You might ask such a question.
In fact, this is not completely untraceable. Prior to this, Geely and Link mainly used plug-in models in the field of new energy; Geometry is more biased towards the low-end market; Extreme krypton and polar star are too "biased"; Volvo and smart are "not close"; Not to mention Lotus and ELETRE, everyone agreed, but the car could not be measured.
Therefore, Geely is bound to launch a brand-new car series, perhaps considering that it already has too many sub-brands, simply linking the Galaxy car series with Geely's own brand. Anyway, the "China Star" series (Xingrui, Xingyue L) and Job L launched by Geely in recent years have gained a firm foothold in the mid-market and won many orders and good reputation. So Geely can go further through the Milky Way.
The one-and-a-half-hour press conference has become a stage for Geely to show off its muscles crazily. Brand-new technologies and techniques have emerged one after another, which triggered waves of cheers and applause from the audience. And Geely played shattered glass to the extreme. Before the press conference, everyone thought that the focus would be on L7, which collided with the ideal. As a result, the Geely Galaxy intelligent electric prototype "Galaxy Light" surprised everyone's chin.
It not only has an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0. 19Cd, but also has a dazzling "split butterfly door" shape and can release the drone from the rear. What's even more ridiculous is that its roof can receive satellite signals and realize high-precision positioning of centimeter-level satellites. This is Geely's "integration of heaven and earth" version of Galaxy intelligent driving scheme, which reminds me of Musk's "Star Chain Plan".
According to official data, "the centimeter-level satellite high-precision positioning module independently developed by Geely has passed the vehicle code certification. By integrating Geely's satellite communication, navigation and remote sensing technologies, this technology can achieve accurate positioning and never lose contact. It is estimated that in 2025, Geely will complete the networking of 72 LEO satellites. By then, Geely Yinhe Zhijia will realize the global positioning ability without blind spots. In the future, Geely Yinhe Zhijia will also take the lead in mass production of leading technologies such as cross-layer memory parking, high-speed emergency antelope obstacle avoidance and low-speed exploration and crossing. "
At present, Galaxy House can stop in time when it is cruising at a high speed of 90km/h and facing a stationary target. Geely Star Intelligent Computing Center can simulate 65,438+10,000 kilometers of intelligent driving behavior training in 1 day, and meet L3 global certification standards by combining the professional test field and actual road test of intelligent network connection.
If CMA platform and "China Star" series are the beginning of Geely's entry into the "4.0" era, then Galaxy must be the origin of Geely's "5.0" era. In terms of core technologies, Geely also released a series of industry-leading new energy electrification technologies, such as Aegis battery safety system, Raytheon hybrid 8848, and brand-new car operating system "Yinhe N OS".
Aegis battery safety system can not only prevent the battery from spontaneous combustion, but also penetrate into the radiation safety at the cellular level to avoid the harm of electromagnetic radiation to human health.
The new generation of Raytheon electric hybrid engine B-Plus equipped with Raytheon electric hybrid 8848 has achieved a thermal efficiency record of 44.26% for mass production engines, and the next generation of Raytheon electric hybrid engine with thermal efficiency exceeding 46% has been in the verification stage. In addition to performance, Raytheon Electric Hybrid 8848 also focuses on performance. The comprehensive power of its two-drive version has reached 287kW, and a super-performance version of 488kW will be launched in the future.
The new Galaxy N OS is a distributed operating system developed by Geely. It has stronger privacy and more accurate language recognition, so it can be said when the whole scene is visible. It also brings a brand-new UI style, which allows users to be immersive. In fact, since the cooperation with Meizu, Geely's previously criticized car machine has given us many surprises.
After talking about technology, let's talk about products. Four of the seven models in the Galaxy series belong to the intelligent electric hybrid L series. The first electric hybrid SUV Galaxy L7 and the first electric hybrid vehicle Galaxy 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.
Moreover, the two series of Galaxy cars are built with native intelligent electric architecture, and the "L" series of electric hybrid architecture will cover A0-B intelligent electric hybrid products; The "E" series with pure electric architecture will include intelligent pure electric products from A-class to D-class ... In other words, the focus of Geely Galaxy in the future is still on the pure electric sector.
It should also be noted that all products of Geely Galaxy will adopt the design language of "Light of the Galaxy". Geely is also proud to say that they jumped out of the homogenization route of electric vehicle design.
In the future, Geely will also launch two modes: user direct marketing and agent distribution, launch a brand-new APP, introduce brand-new experience and service standards, and comprehensively upgrade the user experience. This is not Geely's slogan! In terms of after-sales service alone, Galaxy has formulated 247 new standards.
Galaxy L7 was the focus and core that most people (including me) expected before the conference, but it didn't take up too much time. Here is also a brief introduction, children's shoes of interest can move videos. (Colleague Xiaoxiang took advantage of the precious weekend to visit Yinhe L7 in Hangzhou late at night. )
Based on e-CMA architecture, Galaxy L7 is naturally equipped with three heavy technologies: Aegis battery safety system, Raytheon hybrid 8848 and Galaxy N OS. Its length, width and height are 4700/ 1905/ 1685mm and its wheelbase is 2785mm, which is a relatively standard compact SUV size.
Its main competitor is BYD's Songjia DM-I, but Geely defines it as "the first choice of 200,000-class intelligent electric hybrid SUV", which means it will be more expensive than Songjia DM-I, and its biggest appearance feature is "the only intelligent electric hybrid SUV with a fully enclosed air intake grille at the same level", although I still don't understand why "driving a green car with a gas face" will be a pain point for many users. Of course, in order to solve the heat dissipation problem caused by the closed front cabin, Galaxy L7 adopts three-layer water cooling technology.
Where is the Galaxy L7 more expensive than Songjia DM-i? Look at the interior and configuration of L7, and you may have an idea. 10.25-inch instrument+13.2-inch central control screen+16.2-inch passenger screen +25.6-inch AR HUD realizes four-screen intelligent interaction. Isn't it too much to praise the "ceiling at the same level"?
50w wireless fast charging; "Queen's Throne" that can be reclined to 125 degrees, with maximum legroom at the same level and massage; Infinity sound system with speaker on headrest; The star ring light curtain atmosphere lamp which can be linked with music is a leapfrog configuration. It seems that Galaxy is still quite "orthodox", and Geely still has the style of "cost-effective killer" and "king of kings".
On the driving level of Galaxy L7, the official data given by Geely is 6.9s zero acceleration, even supporting the ejection start; The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 5.23 L；; The comprehensive cruising range of CLTC is 1370 km. These performances are worthy of the title of "mixed ceiling at the same level". Yinhe L7, with outstanding performance in all aspects and balanced strength, has also been "fancy" by the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee, and will become the torch relay support vehicle for the Hangzhou Asian Games.
Actually, don't talk about Galaxy L7. The whole Galaxy car series is aimed at BYD. At the beginning, the phrase "Looking at the Galaxy" caused the marketing carnival of independent brands. You will find that whether it is electric hybrid, pure electric, or the high-end market of C-class cars and D-class cars, Geely Galaxy will face BYD's almost airtight product blockade.
Unlike BYD, which tasted great sweetness in the field of new energy and took the initiative to stop production of fuel vehicles, Geely's fuel vehicles still accounted for the "big head" of sales. As Gan, CEO of Geely Automobile Group, said: "Geely Galaxy is a declaration of action for Geely's new energy development. It brings together the technical strength of Geely's entire department, the world's leading intelligent manufacturing system and the cutting-edge technology ecosystem integrating heaven and earth, and will surely lead China's new energy into the' new stage' of value-oriented secondary development, which will bring users a safer, freer and more valuable smart travel experience. "
Can Geely Galaxy make BYD "look up"? The answer to this question may not be that important. The market for new energy vehicles is very large, and there will be no situation of "having both fish and bear's paw"; The market of new energy vehicles is very small, and it will be eliminated and replaced soon. The only constant in the world is change. Confidence and capital that will never be eliminated come from infinite progress!
