Galaxy E5: Can Geely Beat BYD?

[@Wheelsboy]

The prices mentioned in this review were actually the presale prices, the official pricing for the Galaxy E5 is 15,750-20,750 USD. Those prices are even cheaper than the BYD Yuan Plus!

[@mohamadamin5870]

Cheaper and better.. wow

[@Audios81]

They must not make any money off these in the Chinese market if we here in Australia and the EU, UK pay nearly double the cost. Granted they seem worth what they charge here, but still. Have. BYD Seal Performance and paid $75k Australian which is 3 times the Chinese price. Craziness!

[@tren133]

@@Audios81 $75k AUD is 49k USD. I don't know exactly how much Seal Performance costs in China, but I'm pretty sure it is a lot higher than 16k USD! Even the E5 in this review costs 22k USD.

[@timh3365]

@@Audios81 In fact, in China, Geely's sales performance is better than BYD's. However, BYD's marketing is more outstanding in international markets. It is worth noting that Geely is the parent company of Volvo Cars and Lotus. It is also the largest shareholder of Daimler Group. Although it is a private company, it has significant support from the Chinese government.

[@timh3365]

@@Audios81 In fact, these companies make a profit from selling cars in China because almost everything in the car can be sourced within China. For example, with a BMW or Audi, some components come from Germany, while others come from the Czech Republic or other countries, leading to higher transportation costs and more complex communication between parts suppliers. However, these issues don't exist in China, which is a major reason why Chinese cars can be so affordable. A closed-loop supply chain is crucial for this.

[@joshuajorgensen3820]

Awesome review, i love your work. But I can't believe that you didn't mention the single most incredible thing about this car. The short blade battery runs for 1 million kms without any significant loss of range! That's insane. At this price it's a game changer. Imagine how important that would be for businesses. A taxi that will run for 1 million kms without any major costs!!! Its incredible. Its the single most important thing about this car.

[@chjin1796]

This is just the manufacturer's propaganda, the manufacturer's test environment will be relatively detached from reality, and the actual performance still needs to be verified.

[@MrGoeish]

​​@@chjin1796Even if you discount 30%, 700 thousand km is more than enough. BTW, BYD e6 is used for taxi in Indonesia and after 650 thousand Km it sill runs smoothly😅. I bought BYD Seal because I am convinced with BYD quality based on my conversation with BYD taxi drivers.

[@remakeit2628]

I bought my Atto 3 over 2 years ago, and while it's a great car the simple reality is that all Chinese EVs have improved greatly since then (except for ADAS). I am waiting for more advanced batteries to be available before upgrading.

[@chjin1796]

The performance of self-developed ADAS for China's high-end cars is beyond your imagination. But it may not be possible to buy these cars in your country. And the ADAS of low-cost cars mostly uses modules from traditional Western companies.

[@thyristo]

Atto3 is a prototype...which you realize by comparing it to the other BYD models.

[@thyristo]

02:58 - since you lack knowledge about material science: what you describe as "feels pretty cheap" is a highly durable material which also resists decoloring from frequent touches. It costs about 14 times as much as the material surrounding it.

[@LouDeVere]

As an Atto 3 owner, I am looking at this car as a possible alternative when I replace mine next year. Have really enjoyed the Atto 3 - not so keen on the interior - but this Geely really looks great. I wonder when it will be available here in Australia? Thanks for the review as always.

To quote CleanTechnica: "CATL and BYD are both on a path to decrease battery prices this year (2024 - edited by me) by as much as 50%, meaning battery packs at the end of 2024 could cost half what they did at the end of 2023."

I own Hyundai Kona now and looking around for something slightly bigger and with better range. First I was thinking about Ioniq 5, maybe Toyota BZ4X and I actually like this Geely E5. The styling is not intrusive and is quite nice, I like the white interior, maybe some more buttons and a separate display for climate control would be ice. And it has a rear wiper, a glove box and a panoramic roof that can actually be opened. I guess the price in EU won't be under 30k€ which is sad.
