Geely Galaxy E5 surpasses 12,000 sales in first 20 days
Geely’s Galaxy E5 electric SUV (see specs) has quickly impacted the market, achieving significant sales milestones shortly after its release. Launched on August 3rd, the Galaxy E5 delivered over 10,000 units within its first 20 days. By August 26th, cumulative sales had exceeded 12,000 units, indicating strong demand for this new model.
The Galaxy E5 starts at 109,800 yuan (approximately 15,400 USD) after an early bird discount of 3,000 yuan. It features Aegis short-blade lithium iron phosphate batteries and Meizu’s Flyme Auto infotainment system. The vehicle offers customization to suit various preferences and is available in eight colors, including Meizu’s pinky, green, white, silver, black, and blue.
The SUV provides two battery options: a 49.52 kWh battery with a range of 440 km and a 60.22 kWh battery extending the range to 530 km. These configurations cater to different driving needs, whether for daily commutes or longer trips. The Galaxy E5 measures 4615 mm in length, 1901 mm in width, and 1670 mm in height, with a wheelbase of E5 mm, placing it in the compact SUV category.
Powered by an electric motor with a maximum output of 160 kW, the Galaxy E5 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. Its drag coefficient of 0.269 Cd contributes to its overall efficiency. The vehicle’s aerodynamic design and advanced materials improve performance and structural rigidity.
Inside, the Galaxy E5 offers a practical and spacious environment. With 4.03 square meters of interior space and 33 storage compartments, the vehicle is designed to accommodate various everyday needs, enhancing the SUV’s functionality for drivers and passengers.
The Galaxy E5’s early success —over 12,000 units sold in less than a month—positions it as a strong contender in the electric SUV market. Competing with models like BYD’s Atto 3 (see specs), the Galaxy E5’s sales performance will be closely monitored as it continues to influence the market. Geely’s ability to sustain this momentum will be crucial for the model’s long-term success.
