1. functional configuration testing link

the evaluation car is equipped with a keyless entry function and supports inductive unlocking. when the driver brings the smart key close to the vehicle, it will automatically unlock. when you need to lock the car, you only need to leave the vehicle with the smart key, and it will automatically lock. the actual unlocking and locking processes were very smooth. at the same time, the review car is also equipped with a bluetooth key.

the trunk supports four ways of opening: the central control screen in the car, buttons outside the car, remote control key and voice. the operation is simple and convenient, and the practical performance is satisfactory.

the switch to open the hood is located on the lower left side of the front of the driver's seat. to open it, you need to pull the switch inside the car once, then flip the switch inside the hood and lift it up. the cabin cover is supported by a single-sided manual support rod, which has poor stability.

for consumers, the height of the door sill from the ground determines the convenience of getting on and off the vehicle to a certain extent. according to the actual measurement results, the door sill height of the evaluation car is 440mm from the ground, which is more convenient for drivers and passengers to get in and out of the car on a daily basis.

2. comfort configuration test link

in terms of seats, the front seat adjustment buttons of the review car are located at the bottom of the side of the seat, and the position of the adjustment buttons is reasonable. the main/passenger seats are equipped with 3 sets of seat memories, which is very convenient. in addition, the front seats also support 3-level heating, 3-level ventilation functions and massage functions, and the comfort configuration is satisfactory.

in the main driver's seat test, the distance between the front and end of the driver's seat of the review car was 270mm, which is at the upper level of the same class, and the seat's adjustable travel is very considerable.

the multi-function steering wheel supports manual up and down + front and rear adjustments. according to actual measurements, the front and rear adjustable distance of the steering wheel is 40mm, which is at the mid-to-lower level among tested models of the same level. the up and down adjustable angle of the steering wheel is 10.3°, which is in the middle and upper reaches of tested models of the same level.

the review car's rear seats are equipped with three headrests, all of which support up and down adjustments. although the middle headrest is slightly smaller in size, it can also provide certain support for the heads of rear passengers. the fillings of the three headrests are relatively soft, ensuring a comfortable riding experience.

the front center armrest is regular in shape and moderate in size. the surface is wrapped in soft material and the pillow is very comfortable. although it does not support forward and backward movement and angle adjustment, the driver can still lean his elbow on it while driving.

3. multimedia configuration test link

the review car is equipped with 4 usb ports. among them, the front row is equipped with 1 usb type-a interface and 1 usb type-c interface, located in the storage slot under the front center console; the rear row is equipped with 1 usb type-a interface and 1 usb type-c the interface is located under the air outlet of the air conditioner. the interface layout is reasonable and the compatibility is good. in addition, a 12v power interface is provided in the front storage slot.

in addition, we tested the voltage and current of the usb interface. among them, the voltage and current of the front usb type-c interface are 4.86v and 1.92a respectively. the voltage and current of the rear usb type-c interface are also 9.17v and 1.25a respectively.

as smart cars become more and more popular nowadays, more and more models are equipped with smart voice assistants. for the "intelligent voice system", we use the following four fixed phrases to evaluate the performance of the voice interaction system in terms of speech recognition rate, response speed, and controllable functions.

1. i’m a little cold/i’m a little hot

2. open the car window/open the main driving window/open the sunroof

3. i want to listen to "xxxx" (song name)

4. i’m going to beijing edition building

after actual testing, the evaluation vehicle was able to recognize all instructions, the voice recognition was accurate, and the response speed was fast. in addition, the evaluation car also supports voice wake-up word-free, voice dual-area wake-up recognition, continuous voice recognition and visible and speaking, and the convenience performance is good.

the evaluation car is also equipped with a mobile phone wireless charging pad in front of the front center armrest, with a charging power of 50w. the location of the charging board is reasonably designed, making it easy for the driver to access his mobile phone. at the same time, the mobile phone wireless charging pad also provides heat dissipation and shutdown functions.

4. space configuration test link

as a space test that is closely related to consumers, in the previous test drive article "exquisite and balanced family suv test drive 2024 geely galaxy e5", we have experienced its riding space, and this time we will experience it from daily life the same large amount of storage space and convenience are evaluated.

for the test of the space used in the car, it only focuses on the space within reach of the front row, excluding the glove box, central armrest box and other spaces that need to be opened. the test method is to place all the following fixed items in each storage space in the front row, and judge the performance of the vehicle's storage space based on the placement of the fixed items. the fixed items selected for the test are: 2 bottles of regular-sized mineral water, 1 large-screen mobile phone, 1 lipstick, 1 satchel, 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 folding umbrella, and 1 pack of regular-sized tissue paper.

after actual testing, except for sunglasses, other fixed items can be reasonably placed in various storage spaces in the front row of the evaluation car. the review car's rear cup holder does not provide a limiter, and the details need to be improved.

the interior shape of the trunk is relatively regular, and the floor has good flatness. the rear seats can be folded down proportionally, which can further expand the trunk space. regarding the basic values ​​of the trunk of the evaluation car, we also conducted actual measurements. the opening length is 920mm; the opening width is 1140mm; the trunk depth is 950mm; and the vertical height between the trunk floor and the top is 750mm.

5. security configuration testing link

in the front and rear view test of the vehicle, all seats in the vehicle were adjusted to the lowest position. the measured data has some deviations from the driver's normal use and is for reference only.

in testing the forward vision, we used a 70cm-high pile barrel as a reference object, and then adjusted the distance between the vehicles until the upper edge of the pile barrel could be seen from the main driver's seat. after testing, the final measured data of the pile barrel and front end was 2.2m, which was in the middle and upper reaches of the tested models of the same level.

during the rear view test, the pile bucket was still placed fixedly, and then the vehicle was moved until the upper edge of the pile bucket could be observed. according to actual measurement, the measured distance of the rear field of view is 10.4m, which is in the middle and upper reaches of the tested models of the same level.

when testing the field of view of the exterior rearview mirror, first let the tester stand 10m vertically from the left and right rearview mirrors respectively, and then start to move to the left and right sides until they appear at the outermost edges of the rearview mirrors on both sides, and measure their lateral distance . then through formula calculation, the angle of view of the rearview mirror can be obtained. the larger the angle, the smaller the blind area of ​​the rearview mirror's field of view, and conversely, the larger the blind area of ​​the rearview mirror's field of view.

the exterior rearview mirrors on both sides of the evaluation car do not use double-curvature lenses. after actual measurement, the field of view of the left exterior rearview mirror is 21.8°, and the test results are at the middle and lower reaches of the same class; the field of view of the right exterior rearview mirror is 17.7°, and the test results are at the lower and lower levels of the same class.

during the radar test, the rear radar of the evaluation vehicle could sense rear objects at a distance of up to 1.47m, and the power of the rear radar was excellent. referring to previous test experience, the closer the continuous buzzing stage is to 0.25m, the closer it is to daily usage habits. from the actual measurement data, the closest distance during the continuous buzzing stage of the rear radar is 0.28m, which is smaller than the test experience value.

the front radar can sense objects ahead at a maximum distance of 0.95m, and the radar power performance is average; the continuous beeping prompts that the distance is 0.28m, which is also a small gap with the test experience value.

the evaluation car is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image and a transparent chassis to facilitate the driver to view the surrounding conditions of the vehicle. the image clarity is good, the distortion control around the vehicle is also reasonable, and the practicality is good.

in daily use, vehicles often encounter turns or u-turns. at this time, the vehicle's steering flexibility becomes very important. understanding the road width required when your car makes a u-turn can help you avoid dangerous situations such as scratches. after actual testing, the minimum road width for the evaluation vehicle to make a u-turn is 9.7m, and its performance is at the mid-range level in the same class.

handles in the car are necessary for people with limited mobility, and they can also play a certain auxiliary role in the safety of passengers on bumpy roads. except for the main driver's door, the review car is equipped with handles above the other doors.

6. charging test

in the actual test, the air conditioning temperature in the car was adjusted to 18 degrees celsius, and the standard mode and seat ventilation level 3 were turned on. the driving route passes through urban roads and ring roads, and the average vehicle speed is 50±2km/h. when arriving at the destination, the kilometers displayed on the vehicle's display have increased by 11km and the cruising range has decreased by 19km. that is, the average cruising range consumed for every 1km traveled is about 1.7km.

in addition, we also tested the charging efficiency. after the actual tester used a fast charging pile to charge for 10 minutes (peak power consumption), the power was charged from 27% to 47%, and the cruising range was increased by 106km, which is basically consistent with the time expected by the vehicle computer.

summarize:

as a mass-market model, the geely galaxy e5 has satisfactory performance in terms of seating space and storage space. at the same time, the rich seat functions also improve riding comfort. however, there is still room for improvement in the field of view of the exterior rearview mirrors on both sides. taken together, the practical performance of geely galaxy e5 is in line with expectations and can meet the needs of daily family use.
