Judging from the official preview, the new car uses the same ripple and rhythm grille as the Galaxy E8, with sharp headlights on both sides and L-shaped air inlet decorative strip below, which makes this car look very sporty. At the same time, the closed front grille modeling can also appropriately improve the drag coefficient of the vehicle.
From the side of the car body, the car uses hidden door handles and low wind resistance wheels, which looks very harmonious as a whole. At the same time, the tail adopts the popular through taillight group, which has a strong sense of movement with the large spoiler above. In terms of power, Geely Galaxy E5 will be equipped with a pure electric power system, which will provide 800V architecture models with a high probability.
● Editor’s comment:
The launch of Geely Galaxy E5 makes up for the vacancy that there is no pure electric SUV in Galaxy series. At the same time, due to the great success of Galaxy E8, consumers are quickly aware of this series of models. The official launch of Galaxy E5 in time is bound to set off a new wave of market in the segmentation field. At the same time, Galaxy E5 has also set its sights on the global market and adopted left and right rudder models for simultaneous development. According to the officially announced product plan, Geely Yinhe brand will focus on the mainstream market of "hybrid+pure electricity" in 2024, and launch three new energy products one after another, all of which are developed based on brand-new architecture and innovative design language, and apply self-developed new energy intelligent technology.

In terms of appearance, the overall design tends to be tough, with straight lines and rounded rectangles to create a popular retro hardline this year. In order to meet the design requirements, the stamping and welding links in the manufacturing process have also been upgraded.
Headlamp group similar to the letter C is equipped with a central enclosed front grille, which creates a unique avant-garde feeling for new energy vehicles. In addition, the fender under the bumper also adds more wildness to the whole front.
The design of the hidden door handle on the side of the car body is conducive to reducing the wind resistance. The official said that the wind resistance coefficient of the whole car is 0.35Cd, and it is matched with the front and rear raised wheel eyebrow lines, which highlights the tough style and further resembles modern aesthetics. The trunk door at the rear of the car adopts a side-opening structure, and the two sides meet to form a lifting structure, which forms a stable and powerful support for the rear. Together with the strong black bumper at the bottom, it is very recognizable and strong. The new car will offer 7 exterior colors and 3 interior colors.
In order to meet the needs of outdoor use, the original factory of Deep Blue also provided an optional roof rack spotlight, which evolved from a traditional round shape to a hexagonal shape, bringing a brand-new technological look and feel, providing more adequate environmental lighting during crossing or camping, and at the same time, the roof rack can also play the role of carrying items in the actual use process. The new car will come standard with active noise reduction and double-layer sound insulation glass in front and rear.
In addition, Deep Blue also provides luggage rack, headlights, electric pedals, backpacks, spare tires and other original factory extensions.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5010/1985/1960 mm (including spare tire and spotlights) and the wheelbase is 2880 mm.
The interior styling continues the design style of the car, and the overall design concept follows the hard-core off-road style. The large-area square and straight outline lines make the interior look tougher. Not only that, the car has a large number of physical buttons, which is convenient for functional operation in various driving conditions and is also conducive to driving safety. In addition, the car also adds a large-size instrument and a 14.6-inch central control display screen, which creates a good sense of avant-garde and advanced overall.
In the power part, Deep Blue G318 will be equipped with an extended-range power system, in which the maximum power of a single motor version is 110 kW; The front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive version, in which the maximum power of the front motor is 131kW, the maximum power of the rear motor is 185kW, the total power of the system reaches 316kW, and the peak torque can reach 6200 Nm. 0-100km/ acceleration time is 6.3 seconds.

● Editor’s comment:
In recent years, the outdoor and camping boom has made more consumers tend to choose SUVs with certain passing performance. The Deep Blue G318 uses extended range as the power form, with a tough appearance and sufficient official expansion accessories, which is exactly the latest user demand. On the other hand, with the rapid development of intelligent technology, its intelligent driving can also reduce users’ driving fatigue in many application scenarios, and intelligent cockpit technology provides convenience when camping. Compared with those hard-core off-road vehicles that rely on the four-wheel drive structure to impress consumers, the deep blue G318 is undoubtedly more grounded.

● Editor’s comment:
The appearance of the 2024 model M5 has not changed significantly. It is mainly improved in various configurations such as power, charging, intelligence and comfort of the vehicle, and the product strength of the vehicle has been further strengthened. As the first model of the family, the M5 has opened up the market for the brand. However, with the launch of the M7 and M9 models, its overall presence is getting weaker and weaker. Through this change and upgrade, I look forward to asking M5 to have a better performance in sales.
