Bitauto original On February 23, Geely officially released the first new car of the Galaxy series - Galaxy L7. So far, there is another model named "L7" in the market. Before its release, the Ideal L7 was undoubtedly a top-notch product, which also made the Galaxy L7, a latecomer, a bit mysterious. The Galaxy L7, which is backed by Geely, naturally does not need to rely on bumps in the road to gain attention, so the rest is a bit "hard-core" to the ideal L7. As for how to "just", you may know after reading this article.
New models in a new series
In fact, as important as the Galaxy L7 debut is the Geely Galaxy, which was officially announced a week ago. Galaxy is Geely's new mid-to-high-end new energy series. It has two sub-series: intelligent electric hybrid "L" and intelligent pure electric "E". The Galaxy L7 is the first model in the electric hybrid series. It is of great significance to the entire Galaxy series. Even for Geely, it is of great significance.
The Galaxy L7 is an SUV model with a length, width and height of 4700x1905x1685mm and a wheelbase of 2785mm. It is at the compact level in terms of body size. There are 6 exterior colors for the new car, namely Dawn White, Midnight Black, Dawn Grey, Clear Sky Blue, Dusk Mountain Purple and the Galaxy White that the actual model is wearing. It should be noted in advance that the model actually shot this time is a trial version, and some of its functions and status will be different from the mass-produced version.
Although it is a plug-in hybrid model, the closed front face of the Galaxy L7 looks very much like a pure electric vehicle. Its design draws on the orthodox Chinese aesthetic concepts and looks relatively grand. The front of the car has a sculpture-like three-dimensional feel, and the flat posture is also more sporty. In addition, when light from different angles shines on the car body, it will show red, white, and green color effects. This is also the greatest charm of the Galaxy Colorful White car paint.
The vehicle's LED daytime running lights are designed to be very powerful. As for the overall outline of its outer cover, it has the momentum of cornices and brackets. The headlights are LED light sources and adopt the form of integrated high and low beams. According to the manufacturer, the triangular whisker-shaped area in the front of the headlight can also achieve the dynamic effect of ripples of light.
The vehicle in the real shot adopts a very fashionable two-tone roof. Judging from the direction of the lower edge of the window and the design of the waistline, the side of the Galaxy L7 can be said to be exactly the same as the Geely Boyue L. In addition, the wheel arch shape of the vehicle is also exactly the same as that of the Boyue L. It’s no wonder that the Galaxy L7 has a good overall vehicle posture. After all, the styling of the Boyue L is very popular.
As the lower edge of the window continues to rise, the rear of the Galaxy L7 will have a higher visual height, which also gives the entire car a swooping posture, and the overall shape also looks younger. The taillight adopts a through style, and the lights on both sidesThe light outlines a feather-like style, with Geely's English word "GEELY" in the middle, and brake lights are designed on both sides of the top and lower bumper.
A cockpit that pays more attention to experience
The cockpit shape of the Galaxy L7 maintains Geely's interior design standards, and its main materials are leather, slush-molded soft bags and plastic. The official name of the interior color of the actual model is Tianji White, and there are also two interior color combinations of Xuanyu Black and Light Brown.
Under the traditional "T"-shaped layout, this interior has a less symmetrical design. Its central control screen has a very obvious deflection to the driver's seat side. What's more interesting is that the inner panel of the front door of the vehicle adopts a different armrest design. The manufacturer says this is to better adapt to the main driver's height of the door panel armrest. needs.
The instrument panel of the actual model has three independent LCD screens, namely a 10.25-inch LCD instrument panel, a 13.2-inch central control screen and a 16.2-inch passenger entertainment screen. The car is equipped with the new Galaxy N OS system and is equipped with the currently more mainstream Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. However, due to the state of the vehicle, we did not have an in-depth experience with the vehicle-machine system this time. According to the manufacturer, this vehicle-machine system has good response, interaction and learning capabilities, which we need to explore later.
The Galaxy L7 provides two mobile phone slots in the front row, which can meet most sizes of mobile phones on the market. The wireless charging power is 50W. The entire car is equipped with speakers provided by Infinity Yanfeilishi. High-end models also have headrest audio configurations, so that the driver and passenger can have different sound zones. The roof is designed with a panoramic canopy.
The vehicle's seats are filled with memory foam, and the surface leather material is equally soft. The seat cushion and backrest adopt waterfall quilting technology, which makes the sitting feeling very relaxed and has a certain sense of luxury. The front seats adopt an integrated headrest and backrest design, and the Thor Dynamics logo is engraved on the headrest.
The comfort configuration of the front seats is relatively comprehensive, including imaginable mainstream functions such as heating, ventilation, massage, and physical therapy. In addition, the passenger seat also has multiple functions such as leg rests, one-touch audio and video mode, and lie-flat mode, and the maximum space available for the legs is 630mm.
I am 173cm tall. After adjusting my driving posture, the head space in the front row is about 1 fist + 2 fingers. Keep the front seat position unchanged and enter the back row. The head space is about 1 fist + 4 fingers. , the leg room is about 2 punches, and the overall performance is quite generous.
Since the Galaxy L7 adopts a pocket-style design, its Console (central tunnel) area is basically used for storage, but the vehicle does not provide a glove box. The front row has 1 USB and 1 Type-C interface, hidden behind the central control screen. The rear row is also equipped with 1 USB and 1 Type-C interface. In addition, the front row also provides a 12V power interface. .
Equipped with the latest Thor electric hybrid
The Galaxy L7 belongs to the smart electric hybrid series. It is equipped with a Thor 1.5T hybrid-specific engine. The thermal efficiency of this engine reaches 44.26%, which ranks first among known mass-produced engines. The gearbox is a 3-speed DHT Pro intelligent electric drive composed of P1+P2 dual motors, which can realize the ejection start function. The vehicle’s 0-100km/h acceleration time is 6.9 seconds. In the lowest state of charge, the vehicle’s official The fuel consumption data is 5.23L per 100 kilometers. In addition, the Galaxy L7 also has two charging methods: fast and slow.
Judging from the scene, the real-shot model is equipped with a series of control auxiliary devices such as millimeter-wave radar, front-view camera, panoramic image camera, ultrasonic radar, etc. It is expected that it can easily achieve L2 level driving assistance. The higher-end NOA driving assistance functions will inevitably be equipped on the Galaxy L7. I personally guess that they will appear as options or be equipped on high-end models.
Editor's comment: In fact, if you look at the size positioning and future selling price rigidly, the Galaxy L7 and the Ideal L7 are the kind that cannot be beaten with eight poles. However, after the development of automobiles has entered a new era of new energy, these This traditional concept of "class" begins to become blurred. At least for now, Geely is not afraid that the Galaxy L7 will be overwhelmed by the traffic of the Ideal L7. On the contrary, the Galaxy L7 is expected to have a more affordable price and its balanced attributes, which may bring the price of mid-to-high-end new energy models to around 200,000 yuan. By then, the Galaxy L7 will no longer be just the Ideal L7, but the entire mid-to-high-end new energy camp.
