Geely on Jan. 5 launched the first battery electric sedan under its mainstream luxury marque Galaxy, which the Chinese automaker hopes will take the crown from the likes of the BYD Han to become China’s best-selling model in the mainstream sedan segment. BYD’s Han was 2023’s most popular electric sedan in the price segment with sales of more than 200,000 units. Geely posted sales of 83,497 vehicles under its Galaxy marque as of December, after deliveries began last June. This makes the E8 probably the cheapest model that enables users to play hit gaming titles such as Asphalt in-car. It also has an aerodynamic design with frameless doors and concealed door handles, on a 2,925-millimeter-long wheelbase, making it slightly larger than the BYD Han.
