GEELY GALAXY E8 DRIVEN - A 45-INCH SCREEN IN A CAR?

EV Channels Review

The Geely Galaxy E8 is presented as a significant departure for the Geely brand, aiming for premium and performance segments previously unassociated with it. The reviewer highlights its striking, aerodynamic design, comparable to high-end competitors, and its substantial size, exceeding the Tesla Model S. Key technological features include an expansive 45-inch 8K screen, advanced driver-assistance systems with lidar and satellite connectivity, and an 800-volt architecture for rapid charging on the flagship model. Performance is a strong suit, with the dual-motor AWD version achieving 0-62 mph in 3.49 seconds, offering supercar-like acceleration. The chassis, based on Geely's SEA platform, is praised for its accomplished ride quality and engaging dynamics. Despite its premium features and performance, the E8's pricing is deemed exceptionally competitive, especially for the Chinese market. The reviewer concludes that Geely is making a serious push into the premium EV space, and if this car were to be sold abroad, it would pose a significant threat to established European manufacturers.
