The development momentum of independent new energy is getting better and better, and the quality of cars is getting higher and higher. The domestic new energy mid-to-high-end car market is surging. The localization of new energy has lowered the vehicle price threshold and made it more cost-effective. Geely's newly launched intelligent hybrid SUV Galaxy L7 and BYD Song PLUS DM-i can be said to be the two most popular models now, and many users regard these two cars as the best options. Regardless of appearance and configuration, driving quality is the part that users care most about. Today, we will take a look at which car has a better driving quality through a car teardown comparison.
Power is the heart of a car. Galaxy L7 is equipped with a 1.5T hybrid engine + Raytheon 3-speed variable frequency electric drive. This powerful power combination brings excellent driving performance to the driver. The integrated maximum power of the system has reached 287kw, and the integrated maximum torque of the system is 535N·m, which makes the Galaxy L7 have excellent acceleration performance. It only takes 6.9 seconds to accelerate to 100 meters, and the top speed is as high as 240km/h. Whether it is starting or driving at high speed, the Galaxy L7 can handle it steadily and freely.
Not only that, the Galaxy L7 is built on the CMA platform, inherits the European genes, and its chassis performs very well. The chassis is solid and the suspension responds quickly, bringing a very comfortable driving experience to the driver. Whether it is a sharp turn or a pit or speed bump, the Galaxy L7 can stably put the body under the driver's control, giving people a sense of security.
Compared with the Galaxy L7, the driving performance of the Song PLUS DM-i is slightly smoother. It is equipped with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder self-priming engine, matched with a single-speed transmission. Although it has a good power output, compared with the Galaxy L7, the acceleration performance is slightly inferior. The top speed is 175km/h, and the time required to accelerate from 100 meters to 100 meters is 7.9 seconds. Moreover, the Galaxy L7 has achieved a catapult start due to the adoption of Thor's three-speed variable frequency electric drive technology. It is the only model in its class that supports ejection start.
In terms of handling, the chassis tuning of Song PLUS DM-i has been improved, but there is still a certain amount of bouncing. When encountering a large dynamic situation, the bouncing feeling of the body will still bring some troubles to the driver. In addition, the steering wheel of Song PLUS DM-i is light, but the directionality is not clear enough, which sometimes makes the driver unable to accurately grasp the driving direction of the vehicle.
Generally speaking, from the perspective of driving quality, Geely Galaxy L7 performs better in terms of performance and handling. Its strong power output and excellent acceleration performance can bring unlimited driving pleasure to the driver. At the same time, the optimization of the chassis tuning and suspension response speed of the Galaxy L7 enables the driver to experience a more stable and comfortable driving experience.
In comparison, Song PLUS DM-i is a bit regressive in terms of driving quality. Although its engine power is still good, the overall acceleration performance is relatively weak. In addition, some problems in handling, such as chassis bounce and unclear direction of the steering wheel, have caused the driver's driving quality to not be fully improved.
