IIn recent years, the 100,000 yuan class pure electric SUV market competition is quite fierce. Models such as Yuan PLUS and AION Y have become old favourites in this market segment, while Geely Galaxy E5, a latecomer, is also not to be underestimated in terms of market performance. So facing these two cars, AION Y 610 Enjoy Edition and Geely Galaxy E5 530km Exploration+ Edition, how should consumers choose? Next, we will make a detailed comparison from a number of dimensions, including price, space, range, safety and other aspects, to help consumers find the most suitable model for themselves.
In terms of space, the AION Y's rear legroom appears quite spacious, with official data suggesting that its rear legroom is 1,020mm, compared to the Geely Galaxy E5's 761mm, a gap of nearly 26cm between the two. This is very obvious in the actual ride experience, especially when there are multiple passengers at home, the space advantage provided by the AION Y can significantly improve the comfort level. In addition, the AION Y's flatter roof design and headroom also help to increase the comfort of the ride, which is not overwhelming for either front or rear passengers. In contrast, the roof of the Geely Galaxy E5 presents a more sunken design, which may appear visually more cramped.
The AION Y also pays special attention to the seat design, which can be fully flattened to create a flat space of approximately 5 square metres, making it suitable for use in a variety of scenarios such as camping and resting. This design greatly enhances the practicality of the vehicle, which is particularly convenient for temporary rest during long journeys or for shopping and carrying goods in the city. The Geely Galaxy E5, on the other hand, although it also has a seat-reclining function, does not make sufficient consideration in space utilisation as the AION Y does.
Not only that, the AION Y's flat rear floor design further enhances the space very user-friendly, and this design detail makes the rear passenger's legroom seem more abundant. The AION Y's space design is extremely reasonable when carrying large items or taking a break from work. Imagine a cosy time lying down in the car as the afternoon sun pours in through the windows, or finding a comfortable place to rest at any time on the drive.
In terms of exterior design, the AION Y follows a straight-line design concept, with the entire body presenting a square appearance, which not only makes the interior feel more spacious, but also exudes a youthful and stylish aura. The design of the headlamps with LED daytime running lights makes it visually striking. Meanwhile, the 17-inch aluminium alloy wheels, hidden electric door handles and roof racks give the car a more modern look.
For Geely Galaxy E5, its design pays more attention to smooth lines, and the body is slightly larger and more rounded in comparison, which may be more in line with the aesthetic needs of some young consumers. Each car has its own unique style, the AION Y's design gives an impression of toughness and practicality, while the Galaxy E5 evokes an image of dynamism and smoothness, thus showing different market orientations, consumers just need to choose according to their personal preferences.
The interior of the AION Y is relatively simple and clear, equipped with a 10.25-inch dashboard and a 14.6-inch centre screen, which is relatively easy to use, and the overall design concept makes it easy for drivers to get started. At the same time, its built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 6125 chip provides even better performance support for smooth and natural operation, enhancing the overall driving experience.
In contrast, the interior design of the Geely Galaxy E5 is more tech-savvy, with the front dashboard extending back to give it a modern look, but this may make the interior space seem slightly more compact. If you're looking for a sense of space and smoothness of operation, the AION Y would be a more suitable choice for your needs. However, the interior design of both reflects their own characteristics, and the final choice still depends on the consumer's style preference.
In terms of intelligent configurations, the AION Y and Geely Galaxy E5 each display different characteristics. the AION Y is equipped with cruise control and full seatbelt reminder, which is quite practical for long-distance driving and helps to improve users' safety and security. On the other hand, Geely Galaxy E5 provides 360-degree panoramic image and L2 assisted driving system, which greatly facilitates drivers in city driving and makes it easier for them to control the surrounding road conditions.
For car owners, the process of choosing a car needs to be based on the actual needs of the individual. These two cars have their own strengths, and the common point is that they are able to meet the needs of different consumers. By choosing a car that suits your needs, you will be able to bring pleasure to your daily travelling.
From my personal test drive experience, I was very impressed with the AION Y. It is equipped with a front-mounted single motor. It is equipped with a front-mounted single electric motor with 150 kW, or about 204 hp, and a maximum torque of 225 Nm. These figures translate into enjoyable driving pleasure in the real world. On city roads, the AION Y's power output is plentiful and smooth, and during acceleration, the vehicle responds very quickly and linearly, giving a confident acceleration experience.
In terms of charging and range, the AION Y is equipped with a 68.24kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, which, combined with the magazine battery technology, not only improves safety and durability, but also has quite an outstanding fast-charging capability. Official data shows that it takes only 24 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%, which is undoubtedly a great convenience for consumers who need to travel long distances, and can significantly save the time waiting for charging.
In terms of range, the AION Y has a range of up to 610 kilometres under CLTC conditions, a value that not only exceeds that of many other cars in its class, but also eliminates the need to worry about running out of power for daily commuting or short weekend trips. The smoothness of power feedback, true ride comfort and flexible space design fully demonstrate the attractiveness of the AION Y as a family car.
When it comes to the suspension system, the AION Y uses a combination of a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear longitudinal arm torsion beam non-independent suspension, a design that performs relatively well-balanced in real-world driving. When passing over bumpy roads or speed bumps, the suspension system is able to absorb vibrations effectively, ensuring that the passenger's ride experience is not affected too much, and the overall comfort performance is good. Of course, the rear suspension is not independent, which may lead to a slight lack of support when cornering at high speeds, but considering that the AION Y is mainly aimed at family users, the overall performance can satisfy the needs of the family's daily driving.
During the test drive, I also experienced its different driving modes, including standard, sport and economy modes. In standard mode, the power output is smooth and suitable for daily urban driving; sport mode enhances vehicle response and is more suitable for high-speed driving; while economy mode focuses on power saving and is suitable for some long-distance travelling or situations where power needs to be controlled.
All in all, the AION Y is an SUV designed for the family market that strikes a good balance between power performance, ride comfort and practicality. If you are a consumer who likes to travel by car, then the flexibility and long range of this vehicle can take a lot of stress out of travelling. During the test drive, the AION Y demonstrated excellent performance that made me deeply appreciate its unique charm as a family car, capable of coping with a variety of daily scenarios and making your travelling more convenient.
Choosing the right car is not only about your daily travelling experience, but also directly affects your lifestyle. We hope that the above comparisons and test drives will help you get a more comprehensive understanding of the AION Y and Geely Galaxy E5, and provide you with a reference for your car-buying decision. Regardless of which model you choose, what we are looking for is a more enjoyable travelling experience.
