On May 7, Geely Galaxy unveiled the official images of its highly anticipated all-electric SUV, the E5, marking its debut as the pioneering all-electric SUV in the Galaxy lineup. With a price range anticipated to fall between RMB 150,000-200,000 (USD 20,800-27,700), the E5 is set to hit the markets officially in the second quarter of the year.
The Geely Galaxy E5 is built on the Geely Electric Architecture (GEA), a platform derived from the Sustainable Energy Architecture (SEA). Geely touts GEA as the world’s first four-in-one intelligent AI architecture, encompassing hardware, system, ecology, and artificial intelligence. This platform extends its support to EV, EREV, PHEV, and green methanol powertrains, showcasing the brand’s commitment to sustainable mobility.
Measuring 4615/1901/1670 mm with a wheelbase of 2750 mm, the E5 boasts a sleek exterior design featuring a closed matrix light grille, sharp headlights, and concealed door handles, reminiscent of the Geely Galaxy E8.
The rear of the vehicle is highlighted by an integrated, high-mounted brake light and a distinctive through-type taillight package, incorporating a wave-shaped light element in the center.
While specific powertrain details are yet to be disclosed, Geely hints at the utilization of an 11-in-1 smart electric drive and a Shendun battery, promising an impressive range of 2,000 km. Additionally, a single-motor version of the Galaxy E5 was showcased at China MIIT, equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery and boasting a maximum power of 160 kW, with a top speed of 175 km/h.
Inside the cabin, a minimalist approach reigns supreme, featuring a dual flat-bottom steering wheel, a head-up display, and a full LCD instrument panel. The central control screen integrates the Flyme Auto operating system, powered by the 7nm Dragon Eagle-1 chip. Further enhancing comfort and convenience are features like OTA updates, wireless mobile phone charging, heated/ventilated/8-point massage front seats, and a premium 16-speaker audio system.
As the automotive industry continues its shift towards electrification and sustainability, Geely’s Galaxy E5 stands poised to make a significant impact, offering a blend of cutting-edge technology, impressive range, and luxurious comfort.
