as a leading third-party automobile quality evaluation platform in china, chezhi.com has launched the "new car commodity evaluation" column based on a large number of automobile product test samples and scientific data models. every month, senior evaluators use professional equipment to conduct systematic testing and evaluation of several models that have been on the market in china for less than two years and have a mileage of no more than 5,000 kilometers, using objective data and subjective feelings to comprehensively display and analyze the overall commodity level of new cars in the domestic automobile market, and provide consumers with objective and true opinions when purchasing vehicles.

faced with the new energy compact suv market where competition has entered a white-hot stage, geely auto has once again dropped a "blockbuster" and launched the geely galaxy e5. as the first pure electric suv under geely galaxy, the geely galaxy e5 is built on the gea global intelligent new energy architecture. with its unique design, rich technological configuration and affordable price, it has attracted the attention of many consumers. it has achieved a delivery volume of over 10,000 in just 20 days after its launch, and its market performance is eye-catching. according to the data from the auto quality network, as of press time, the cumulative number of complaints about the 2024 geely galaxy e5 since its launch has been only 2, and its reputation has performed well in the short term. so, can the 2024 geely galaxy e5 continue its current reputation? will there be some new problems that are difficult for ordinary consumers to find? this issue of "new car commodity evaluation" will clear the fog for you and restore a real 2024 geely galaxy e5 through two dimensions: objective data and subjective feelings.

1. objective data

this project mainly conducts field tests on 12 items including body craftsmanship, paint film level, in-car air quality, vibration and noise, parking radar, lighting/vision, etc., to comprehensively and intuitively display the commercial performance of the new car in the form of objective data.

in the body craftsmanship test, a total of 10 key parts of the vehicle were selected, and 3 key points were selected for measurement in each key part to evaluate the uniformity of the gaps in each key part. from the test results, the average gaps in most parts of the 2024 geely galaxy e5 are at a relatively low level, but the average gaps at the connection between the front fenders and the engine cover on both sides, and the connection between the rear fenders and the trunk on both sides are relatively high, which has a certain impact on the final test results.

in the paint film level test, the test results show that the average paint film thickness of the 2024 geely galaxy e5 is about 132.5μm, which reaches the standard value of high-end cars (120μm-150μm) in terms of data. from the test data of key parts, the paint film thickness of all parts of the vehicle reaches the standard value of high-end cars, and the value fluctuation between each test point is not large. the paint film thickness and spraying uniformity of the whole vehicle are remarkable.

in the in-car air quality test, the vehicle was placed in an internal ground parking lot with fewer vehicles. the actual measured formaldehyde content in the 2024 geely galaxy e5 was 0.08mg/m3, which is in line with the relevant standards in the "guidelines for passenger car indoor air quality evaluation" (national standard of the people's republic of china gb/t 27630-2011) jointly issued by the former ministry of environmental protection and the general administration of quality supervision, inspection and quarantine on march 1, 2012.

in the static noise test, the measured noise value of the 2024 geely galaxy e5 in the stationary state is 32.8db. because it is driven by an electric motor, there will be no obvious noise after the vehicle starts.

in the air conditioning noise test, the test instrument is first placed about 10cm away from the air outlet, and then the air volume is adjusted from small to large, and the noise value at the driver's position is measured at different gears. according to actual measurements, the air conditioning adjustment of the 2024 geely galaxy e5 is divided into 9 gears. when the highest gear is turned on, the noise value is 72.2db, which is slightly higher than the same level models tested before.

in the static in-vehicle vibration test, the vibration value at the steering wheel of the 2024 geely galaxy e5 is always 0 when the vehicle is stationary and under load after starting, and the vibration values ​​of the front and rear seats are also at a low level and remain unchanged, and the actual physical sensation is slight.

in addition, we also tested the parking radar, lighting/vision, control system, tires, sunroof, seats, and trunk. after testing, the 2024 geely galaxy e5's driver's seat has a large adjustment range and can accommodate drivers of different heights. the evaluation car is equipped with goodyear yucheng suv ii series tires, which use a unique silent tread and soft-touch shock-absorbing design to provide a comfortable driving experience. the tire specification is 235/50 r19. relatively speaking, the front and rear adjustment distance of the steering wheel is short and needs to be optimized.

2. subjective feelings

this project is conducted by multiple judges to conduct subjective evaluations on the actual static and dynamic performance of the new car. the static aspects include the exterior, interior, space and human-machine interaction; the dynamic aspects include acceleration, braking, steering, driving experience and driving safety. finally, the total score is given by comprehensively referring to the subjective evaluation opinions of each judge, reflecting the actual performance of the new car in terms of commerciality from the perspective of subjective feelings.

in the external experience evaluation, the 2024 geely galaxy e5 adopts the mainstream concise design style of today's new energy vehicles, with a closed center grille and trapezoidal heat dissipation vents, which combines a sense of technology and practicality. thanks to the ctb battery-body integration technology, the body and battery are at the same height, which is conducive to improving ground clearance and ensuring passability. the through-type taillights effectively stretch the visual width, and the black bottom design enhances the sporty atmosphere of the whole vehicle. the layout of the motor compartment is reasonable, and important components are located relatively far back, but there are still some wiring harnesses exposed. in addition, the motor compartment cover does not provide sound insulation cotton, and adopts a single-sided manual support rod design, and the materials used are relatively general.

in the internal experience evaluation, the 2024 geely galaxy e5 uses a combination of a 10.2-inch full lcd instrument and a 15.4-inch central control screen. both screens are suspended designs, matched with through-type air-conditioning vents and just the right amount of chrome decorative elements, creating a good high-end texture. the double-spoke steering wheel is relatively sturdy and feels full, and the multi-function buttons are clearly labeled in chinese. however, because the buttons at the three and nine o'clock positions are large and close to both ends, there will be accidental touches when holding the steering wheel normally. a multimedia control knob and air-conditioning buttons are provided below the central air-conditioning outlet. the position is reasonable and the damping is moderate, which is convenient for the driver to operate during driving.

the 2750mm wheelbase ensures relatively ample seating space, and with the flat rear floor design, both front and rear passengers can find a comfortable sitting position. in terms of storage space, a larger storage compartment is provided under the front center channel, and is equipped with 1 usb type-a port, 1 usb type-c port, and 1 12v power port to meet the power needs of different mobile devices. in addition, the interior shape of the central armrest box and the co-pilot glove box are very regular, and the space is very practical. relatively speaking, the rear cup holder does not provide a limiter, and the front cup holder will block some buttons after placing a taller cup or bottle, which is not very convenient for the driver to operate.

the 15.4-inch central control screen is equipped with the domestic 7nm automotive chip longying no. 1, and its performance is at the same level as qualcomm snapdragon 8155. the evaluation car is equipped with flyme auto car system, the ui interface style is similar to that of a smartphone, the functional modules are relatively scattered, and it is very convenient to operate. the actual test car system runs smoothly, and the intelligent voice supports mainstream functions such as no wake-up word, continuous recognition, and see and speak. the windows and seat ventilation can be operated by voice.

the 2024 geely galaxy e5 is equipped with a single front motor, and the performance parameters are relatively conservative, and the actual power performance is not radical. there is little difference between the energy-saving and comfort driving modes. the vehicle power output is relatively linear, and there is no abrupt feeling when the accelerator pedal is stepped on deeply to accelerate, creating a relaxed and comfortable driving atmosphere. after switching to sports mode, the accelerator pedal will become more sensitive at the beginning, bringing a hearty driving experience.

the brake pedal offers two tuning styles: comfort and sport. the comfort mode reserves a certain amount of dead space to create a smooth braking effect; in sport mode, the brake pedal feels noticeably tighter, and sufficient braking force can be obtained by lightly pressing the pedal.

the steering assist can be linked with the driving mode. in the energy-saving and comfort driving modes, the steering wheel force is relatively light, providing a comfortable driving experience. after changing to sports mode, the steering wheel force becomes significantly heavier, the dead space is smaller, and the steering accuracy is improved.

the chassis adopts a combination of front mcpherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension. it is tuned for comfort and has strong integrity. it can filter out the fine vibrations on the road cleanly and neatly. even when facing bumpy roads and speed bumps, it can effectively suppress unnecessary body shaking. the ride comfort is worthy of recognition.

the evaluation car is equipped with an l2 assisted driving system. the acceleration and deceleration forces are moderate during full-speed adaptive cruise following. the following distance supports three-gear adjustment. the distance between the nearest gear and the car in front is slightly larger, making it easy for other vehicles to cut in.

summarize:

based on the above test results, it is concluded that the overall performance of the 2024 geely galaxy e5 in terms of objective data and subjective feelings has met the expectations of the expert jury. in terms of objective data, the paint film thickness and spraying uniformity are satisfactory, but there is still room for improvement in the body craftsmanship of individual parts. in terms of subjective feelings, the 2024 geely galaxy e5 adopts a simple appearance and interior design, with excellent human-computer interaction experience and comfortable driving experience, but the materials used in the electric motor compartment and the following distance of the cruise system need to be optimized. overall, the commercial performance of the 2024 geely galaxy e5 is at the middle level among the tested models of the same level.
