Chinese automotive giant Geely Auto officially launched the Galaxy E5, its newest electric SUV, in Guiyang China. Developed for the global market from the very beginning, the E5 is built on the global intelligent new energy architecture GEA, and adopts minimalist design that caters to users worldwide.
Geely has tested, designed and completed both left- and right-hand drive versions of the Galaxy E5 thanks to Geely’s dedicated and experienced R&D teams around the globe who are able to translate their deep local understandings to a world-class model. Global model complies with global standards. The E5 fully satisfies the regulatory requirements of 89 countries.
The Geely Galaxy E5 is available in five variants in China with starting prices of RMB 112,800 (14,436 Euro), RMB 122,800 (15,715 Euro), RMB 128,800 (16,482 Euro), RMB 138,800 (17,761 Euro) and RMB 148,800 (19,041 Euro) respectively.
Technically-advanced, the Geely Galaxy E5 is packed with self-developed features, like intelligent electric drive, short blade battery, CTB technology, and more. With a body dimension of 4615 × 1901 × 1670 mm and a wheelbase of 2750 mm, the E5 outperforms its counterparts with better driving and riding experience.
All five variants of the Geely Galaxy E5 share the same powertrain. Equipped with a motor producing 160 kW peak power and 320 Nm peak torque, the SUV can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds.
