About Geely Galaxy E8 Electric Vehicle
Geely Galaxy E8 is a pure electric flagship sedan built on the Sustainable Experience Architecture. The exterior recalls the form of a tiger ready to run, with headlights that suggest an intense gaze. A one piece luminous front face is formed by more than ten thousand holes of 0.2 mm, made with micro hole laser engraving technology, which gives an even light distribution. Twenty five aerodynamic improvements bring the drag coefficient to 0.199. The smart cockpit holds a 45 inch 8K screen and ripple patterns drawn from Chinese cultural landscapes.
