On October 20, Deep Blue S05 was officially launched. The new car has a total of 6 models, including 4 pure electric versions, priced at 119,900-145,900 yuan, and 2 extended-range versions, priced at 139,900-149,900 yuan. The Deep Blue S05 is equipped with L2 assisted driving as standard, and is equipped with intelligent emotional cockpit, DEEPAL megapixel intelligent light and shadow headlights, DEEPAL 4K intelligent gimbal camera and other leading technology configurations in the same class.

At the Deep Blue S05 launch conference on October 20, Deep Blue CEO Deng Chenghao compared the prices of the rival Galaxy E5 and Galaxy E5. In the end, the 510 pure electric max version was priced at 135,900 yuan, which was 100 yuan cheaper than the Galaxy E5. At the end of the conference, Deng Chenghao announced that the S05 would be delivered as soon as it was launched, and the extension gift was the same as that of the S07. For users who were unable to apply for the national trade-in and local replacement subsidies due to the delay in Deep Blue delivery, Deep Blue Automobile would pay full compensation.

The Galaxy E5 was previously launched on August 5, positioned as a pure electric compact SUV. A total of five models were launched, all of which are pure electric models, priced at 109,800 yuan to 145,800 yuan, and equipped with Geely's self-developed Galaxy Flyme Auto car system. The official blog of Galaxy New Energy announced on September 2 that 12,230 vehicles were delivered in the first month of listing; on October 10, the official announcement exceeded 30,000 vehicles, making it the fastest A-class pure electric SUV to exceed 30,000 on the market. At present, the order volume of Galaxy E5 continues to rise. Car buyers mainly choose the high-end version with a range of 440km, priced at 119,800 yuan; there is also a second-highest version with a range of 530km, priced at 135,800 yuan.

Geely Galaxy New Energy Weibo announced the October car purchase benefits of Galaxy E5 on September 30. Users who place a large order before October 31, 2024 can still enjoy the multiple car purchase benefits previously implemented, including free Flyme Sound worth 8,800 yuan for a limited time, 0% interest for 24 installments for a limited time of 80,000 yuan, and free charging piles and installation services for the first owner within one year from the date of purchase.

Both Deep Blue S05 and Galaxy E5 are positioned as compact SUVs, and the long-range versions are priced similarly. So this article compares the 510max pure electric version of Deep Blue S05 and the 530 exploration+ version of Galaxy E5 for readers' reference.

Deep Blue S05 has stronger power and lower energy consumption

As can be seen from the above picture, the Galaxy E5 is not as long as the Deep Blue S05 in terms of length and wheelbase, with a wheelbase 130mm shorter and a length 5mm shorter. However, the Galaxy E5 is superior in height and width, with the Galaxy E5 being 70mm taller than the S05 and the width being the same. Therefore, the Deep Blue S05 is superior to the Galaxy E5 in terms of both passenger space and loading space. In particular, the Galaxy E5 also lacks a 159L front trunk. However, the Deep Blue S05 has not disclosed the trunk volume after the rear seats are folded down, but it is estimated to exceed the 1877L of the Galaxy E5.

In terms of power, both cars are pure electric models. The difference lies in the different motor power and torque. The Deep Blue S05 has 15kW more power than the Galaxy E5, and the torque is the same. The 0-100 acceleration of the Deep Blue S05 is slightly inferior to that of the Galaxy E5. In terms of weight, the Galaxy E5 is 70kg lighter than the Deep Blue S05, but the maximum speed of the two is the same.

In terms of energy consumption, although the official data of Deep Blue S05 has not been released yet, it is estimated based on its battery capacity and range that it only consumes 11 kWh of electricity per 100 kilometers, while the official power consumption of Galaxy E5 is 12.1 kWh. The energy consumption of Galaxy E5 is relatively higher. One reason is that its drag coefficient is 0.19cd higher than that of Deep Blue S05.

At the same time, in terms of the most critical price, the Deep Blue S05max pure electric version is priced at only 135,900 yuan, which is 100 yuan more expensive than the Galaxy E5 530, but both are models that do not need to pay purchase tax. In particular, the Galaxy E5 currently has a 999 deposit that can be used to offset the 2999 final payment. In comparison, the Deep Blue S05 is more attractive.

The battery life of Galaxy E5 is slightly longer than that of Deep Blue S05, but Deep Blue S05 recharges faster

In terms of battery life, although both are equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries, the battery brand Deep Blue S05 uses CATL batteries, while Galaxy E5 is a mix of Honeycomb and Yaoning New Energy. From the perspective of market share, CATL definitely has a higher market share. Although Galaxy E5 is equipped with a larger capacity battery pack, the battery life of Galaxy E5 is only 20 kilometers longer, which is also the performance of Deep Blue S05's lower energy consumption mentioned above.

In terms of energy replenishment, the Deep Blue S05 is equipped with a 3C fast charging rate, which only takes 15 minutes from 30-80%, while the Galaxy E5's battery rate is also 1.8C, which takes 20 minutes from 30-80%. According to calculations, the former can charge 22 kWh more per hour than the latter, improving consumers' anxiety about energy replenishment for pure electric small cars.

Looking at the chassis, both cars have front McPherson and rear multi-link suspension, but the difference is that Galaxy E5 uses front-engine front-wheel drive, while Deep Blue S05 uses rear-engine rear-wheel drive. In terms of tires, both Galaxy E5 and Deep Blue S05 use 18-inch tires, but the wheel width and aspect ratio of Deep Blue S05 are higher, which looks fuller and has stronger grip, but the comfort and economy are not as good as the latter.

From the hardware structure point of view, Deep Blue S05 is slightly ahead, but the quality of suspension cannot be judged only by hardware, the key lies in tuning. Both Deep Blue S05 and Galaxy E5 are backed by large automobile manufacturers and have accumulated rich experience in the field of automobile chassis. However, some consumers reported that whether driving or riding, the body of Galaxy E5 has a slight "floating feeling". This kind of body shaking is somewhat random and even makes some test riders feel carsick. This is also the reason why some consumers give up choosing Galaxy E5. Whether the test drive customers of Deep Blue S05 will have similar physical feelings still needs time to test.

Deep Blue S05 smart cabin is more fun, and its smart driving hardware far exceeds that of Galaxy E5

In terms of smart cockpit, compared with Yuan PLUS, the biggest highlight of Deep Blue S05 is that it is equipped with DEEPAL 4K smart gimbal camera and HUAWEI megapixel smart light and shadow headlights, which is more playable, but the gimbal camera requires an additional 3999 yuan optional.

In terms of smart cockpit, the central control screen of both cars is 15.4 inches, and the experience is comparable. In terms of smart cabin chips, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155P and Dragon Eagle No. 1 both have 8 Tops computing power. In terms of system fluency, the stability and fluency of Flyme Auto equipped with Galaxy E5 are slightly better than Deepal OS of Deep Blue S05. In terms of intelligent driving, both models support full-speed adaptive cruise and LCC, and the intelligent driving level is L2.

In terms of intelligent driving hardware configuration, Deep Blue S05 is better than Galaxy E5. The Galaxy E5 does not have millimeter wave radar, while the Deep Blue S05 is equipped with 5 as standard. The Deep Blue S05 has far more ultrasonic radars than the E5, with 12 in the Deep Blue S05 and only 5 in the Galaxy E5. In terms of the number of cameras, both are equipped with 5. The S05 is equipped with a 50-inch HUD head-up display system, while the Galaxy E5 needs to add 2,500 yuan to install a 13.8-inch HUD. However, the S05 does not have an LCD instrument panel, while the Galaxy E5 does. Some car buyers like HUD, while others like LCD instruments. It depends on personal preference.

In terms of safety configuration, the Deep Blue S05 has more active braking than the Galaxy E5, and the Galaxy E5 has more forward traffic warning and braking than the Deep Blue S05. In terms of comfort configuration, the Deep Blue S05 is equipped with seat heating, ventilation, and main driver seat memory as well as the Queen's co-pilot seat in the front row, while the Galaxy E5 lacks the main driver memory function, the Queen's co-pilot seat, and the seat welcome. In addition, the Galaxy E5 can be equipped with the 16-speaker Flyme Sound without boundaries for free, while the Deep Blue S05 has only 8 speakers. In terms of audio and video experience, the Galaxy E5 is better, but in terms of comfort configuration, the Galaxy E5 is not as good as the Deep Blue S05. Moreover, both models come with a charging pile, and installation is included. In particular, the Deep Blue also has a discount of 2,000 yuan on the final payment, which is equivalent to 1,900 yuan cheaper than the Galaxy E5.

By comparison, we can see that the Deep Blue S05 is better than the Galaxy E5 in terms of space, energy consumption, energy replenishment, seats, and intelligent driving capabilities. The two cars are basically the same in terms of price. In terms of battery life, battery capacity, and audio-visual experience, the Galaxy E5 is slightly better than the Deep Blue S05. If you care more about seat space, power, seat comfort, and gimbal camera, you can choose the Deep Blue S05. If you prefer long battery life, you may choose the Galaxy E5.
