-
The chassis is relatively low, so you need to be careful of scratches during daily use. It is not suitable for complex road conditions such as mountain roads and steep slopes.
-
The vehicle’s infotainment system has low intelligence, with insufficiently rich software, and it does not support Apple mobile phone integration.
Basic Information
The Galaxy E8 is the first all-electric vehicle under Geely. As a mid-to-large pure electric sedan, it has strong competitiveness in the $20,000-$30,000 market segment.
From June to August 2025, the overall sales of the Galaxy brand continued to grow. Among them, the Galaxy E8's monthly sales exceeded 100,000 units in August. With the continuous growth of sales, the market share of the Galaxy E8 is also gradually expanding, and it is expected to become a star model in the new energy vehicle market.
The 2025 Geely Galaxy E8 has six models to choose from, with cruising ranges of 575KM, 610KM, 620KM and 720KM. The starting price is about $22,154, and the top configuration is about $6,500 more expensive. The low-end version is suitable for users with a daily commuting radius within 50km (such as commuting in the urban area and short-distance shopping on weekends), who do not have high requirements for comfort configuration and pursue low price + sufficient cruising range. The top-end version solves the problem of simple configuration of the entry-level version, and is suitable for users who need longer cruising range + basic comfort configuration, taking into account family use and self-driving travel.

Positive Reviews
Full of Power
Conclusion: The power is strong, and both the starting and acceleration effects are quite good.
-
"The acceleration effect of the Galaxy E8 is really excellent. It can always easily overtake cars in other lanes when starting at traffic lights. The motor responds very quickly, and the sense of pushing back is also obvious. The power is quite sufficient when climbing, and you can easily go uphill without stepping on the accelerator deeply."
-
"The power is strong, the start is light, the acceleration is linear, and the driving experience is comfortable."
Good Driving Experience
Conclusion: The driving experience is good, with the steering wheel control, chassis and cockpit all highly praised.
-
"Overall, the driving experience of this car is quite good. The seat comfort is nice. At first, I thought a larger body would be difficult to handle, but surprisingly, the experience is good, and it handles rough roads well!"
-
"I have driven 5,000 kilometers since picking up the car on January 19th. Overall, the steering wheel of this car is light to control, the chassis is also very comfortable, and the turning radius is small. It doesn't feel like a 5-meter-long car and is much more comfortable to drive than my 2019 Regal."
Excellent Space
Conclusion: The storage space is large, with a front trunk, and it is not crowded for family outings.
-
"I have to praise the space of the Galaxy E8. With a body length of more than 5 meters and a wheelbase of 3 meters, it is quite spacious. In addition to the traditional storage space, there is also storage space in the front engine compartment, which is really good and quite a surprise. The storage space is 53L, and there is absolutely no problem putting all kinds of odds and ends in it. The rear space is also quite spacious, and my family of three feels very comfortable sitting in it."
-
"The space is good. Five people traveling together will not be crowded. The rear space is large enough, which is sufficient for family use."
Negative Reviews
Low Configuration
Conclusion: The infotainment system lacks intelligence, has few software options, and does not support Apple mobile phone integration.
-
"The only drawback of this car so far is that the infotainment system ecosystem is too limited. Although it is barely usable at present, the software is inconsistent with what I used before, leading to many issues with usage habits."
-
"The human-machine interaction of the infotainment system is not very intelligent. You have to say key words for it to understand your commands. There are few mobile phone integration options for infotainment system applications, and it does not support Apple integration, only Bluetooth connection."
Poor Range Performance
Conclusion: Range performance is related to driving habits, and the range cannot reach the actual value when driving at high speed throughout the journey.
-
"It's a bit power-consuming at present, probably related to personal driving habits. The battery range feels okay for now."
-
"The range is indeed not very good. The range when driving at high speed throughout the journey is only a little over 400 kilometers."
-
"The range is quite average. Two days ago, after fully charging, it only traveled 150 kilometers but consumed 240 kilometers of battery power. I don't know the reason. The weather was also hot, at 25 degrees."
Ground Clearance Issue
Conclusion: The car's chassis is relatively low, making it prone to scratches.
-
"The low chassis is really a headache sometimes. If the slope of the shopping mall parking garage is too steep, you have to drive slowly, and it's easy to scrape the bottom when exiting the garage."
-
"The chassis of this car is relatively low, and it's easy to scratch the chassis if you're not careful. I drive very carefully, so I haven't scratched it yet."
