Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Geely has unveiled the Galaxy E8 electric sedan. The EV will officially go on pre-sales in China on November 17.
Features
The Geely Galaxy E8 has an exquisite design and has a range of 665km. The EV is built on Geely’s Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform and comes in a sleek and eye-catching design. It has dimensions of 5,010 x 1,920 x 1,465mm. It has a 115.1-inch wheelbase and a drag coefficient of 0.199. The Geely Galaxy E8 is more slippery than the Mercedes Benz EQS and the Nio ET7 but is at par with the VW XL1 in terms of drag.
Two 400-volt versions of the Galaxy E8 are available. The first version has a 62 kWh LFP battery, a 272hp rear electric motor, and 550km of range. The second version has a 76kWh battery, a 272hp motor, and a range of 665km. A 421hp rear motor with a 224hp front motor and a 76 kWh pack is also available. This version can also travel 665 km (413 miles) on a charge.
The front of the car has two sharp headlights as well as daytime running lights. The plain design of the sides enhances aerodynamics and door-mounted rear-facing cameras are lacking. Rather, there are traditional wind mirrors in the Galaxy E8. It has an LED light bar and intricate taillights. The cabin contains a 45-inch display with 8K resolution. The display covers the full length of the dashboard while a six-button center console and a steering wheel are present. There is also a circular dial and a wireless charging pad, together with a split storage cubby.
