The Geely Galaxy E5 is the second battery electric vehicle within Geely Galaxy lineup after the Geely Galaxy E8 sedan. It is based on the Geely Electric Architecture, derived from the Sustainable Experience Architecture developed by Geely. The vehicle is slated to be sold globally. The model will be exported as the Geely EX5,[2] while in Malaysia, it will be marketed as the Proton eMas 7 (stylised as e.MAS 7).
Overview
editThe Geely Galaxy E5 was revealed with a set of images in May 2024. According to Geely, the vehicle was the first Geely vehicle to be developed with left-hand drive and right hand-drive simultaneously, indicating a greater focus on export markets. Geely confirmed that it will sell the vehicle in Norway, Australia, Thailand, and Indonesia as the Geely EX5.[2] The vehicle will also be sold under the Proton brand in Malaysia as the Proton eMas 7, and will be distributed by the Proton New Energy Technology (Pro-Net) subsidiary.[3]
The Geely Galaxy E5 was developed to compete with the BYD Yuan Plus / Atto 3, by closely approximating its specifications while offering a larger footprint to attract consumers.[4][5] It will be offered with a single-motor, front-wheel drive setup rated at 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) for a claimed top speed of 175 km/h (109 mph), paired with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery developed by Geely called the Aegis Short Blade.[6] Battery capacity options are 49.52 kWh and 60.22 kWh with rated CLTC range of 440 km (273 mi) and 530 km (329 mi) respectively. Geely claimed a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration time of 6.9 seconds. Geely integrated a 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive system into the vehicle, which unifies 11 major devices such as motors, electronic controls and reducers.[7] Its battery is integrated to the body with cell-to-body (CTB) integration. Drag coefficient is claimed to be the lowest its segment at Cd 0.269, helping its power efficiency which is claimed at 11.9 kWh per 100 km.[8]
The software of the vehicle adopts the Flyme Auto car operating system and the Flyme Sound audio system developed in conjunction with Meizu, which is owned by Geely. The Galaxy E5 system will be powered by the Dragon Eagle-1 system on a chip (SoC), an automotive SoC produced with a 7 nm process.[7]
