A review of the incredible new Geely Galaxy E8.
********
What do you think of when you think of Geely? Owners of Volvo, Polestar and Lotus? Budget car brand with decent styling? How about supercar performance, satellite-connected technology, and 45-inch 8k screens? No? We didn't either, but that's exactly what the Galaxy E8 is bringing to the table. The first full-electric car from the Galaxy sub-brand, the E8 is the car nobody expected Geely to make, with performance and specs that will blow your mind. Still think Geely is just mainstream? Think again, because they just got interesting.

In 1989, I asked my father, who specialized in repairing and rewinding all types of electric motors; What is the most reliable motor? He answered me immediately and without hesitation: Chinese.

I don't know. I'm not one that's very interested in screens but the overall interior seems nice, but rather like a Zeekr in many ways. The round knob and small buttons in the center console look like they came from Volvo's last generation (current SPA cars like XC90 and XC60). I'm not sure the purpose of this car is, unless it is to give a more China market upscale sedan. There is Zeekr and Lynk and Co. I think Volvo and Polestar have a different style and are more expensive plus they tend to tune their chassis firmly. But this seems fairly similar to the Zeekrs. I like the overall look of it.

@ChinaAuto couldn't find any sources online confirming your claim, and you don't show it. So again. I don't believe it before I see it. Saw that "5C" battery from CATL. It peaks at more than 700A, when the CCS standard only allows 500A for a short period of time. This means at around 750V (what seems to be max voltage of this battery) it would peak at 375kW and "only" 3,6C. Still very impressive, but far for 5C. After a few minutes the amperage would drop to 400A which means 300kW, still very good. But far from the actual claims.

Not quite sure all of that is true. Would be curious on the warranty of the screen though. As you said, it's a big piece of hardware when it decides to go bust. The push nowadays though is more towards speaking to the car so you don't have to touch anything and if my Chinese were considerably better I could use all the functions rather than just some. You're right though about being able to see the passenger side screen. I was sure there was a rule to block it from the driver's view as some brands do make it not visible, but others don't. Sure in Europe that will have to be different.

The boot may be large but the gooseneck hinges eat into the usable space. From experience in my own car anyway, my book is basically 3/4 usable because of the hinges. So annoying! Anyway, nice looking vehicle although I'm not a fan of the giant screen! Hope it comes to Aus!

They were fairly big but seemed a very good size all the same. Curious myself if Geely are planning on going further than where they are now.

This pale yellow seems to have become a bit of a thing in China recently, also making its way onto the NIO ET5. I prefer full saturation though, like on the Zeekr 007. If you're going to be bold, go the whole way.

Can only say it was -5 and we had the 150kW charging version, and the charging was no problem. 44 minutes to go from about 32km to about 550km of range. Not sure about range itself as there was no odometer to be seen.

Meanwhile... Volvo still puts a 9" center display in their 2024 (X)C40's Recharge and a 12.3" display in the upcoming EX30. I really wish they were a little bit less conservative and went all in on software features. Really want to keep supporting our economy by buying/leasing cars that are built in Europe, but these Chinese cars will be lightyears ahead in no time if they keep this up. Terrible color though 🙃.

Volvo needs to up those screens sharpish. The ones in the C40 and XC40 do not cut it in 2024. Urgent refresh needed. 12 is OK, doesn't need to be over the top. Not sure I'd go portrait though.

@@InsideChinaAuto yeah portrait is great for navigation but that's about it. If I watch KZfaq on it, I might as well watch on my phone as it's pretty much the same size. BYD has the best of both worlds with the rotating screen but I'd prefer this more integrated look. Also, my daughter would love the 'separate' passenger screen 🙂.
