From the comparison chart, many appearance elements of Changan Deep Blue SL03 and UNI-V models can also be found on the prototype of Galaxy Light.
However, Geely also issued an official statement, saying that Geely's Galaxy Light is Geely's original design, which inherits Geely's unique "ripple aesthetics" in design, has an independent and complete design concept system, and there is no plagiarism or infringement of other people's intellectual property rights. At the same time, Geely also said: "The contents of the lawyer's letter are seriously inaccurate, and the accusations against our company are unfounded, misleading the public and causing serious damage to our brand and goodwill."
Obviously, Changan's lawyer's letter and Geely's official statement are somewhat tit for tat, but at the end of Geely's official statement, Geely also said: "As an automobile company in China, we respect originality, respect the protection of intellectual property rights, adhere to legal compliance, resolutely safeguard the healthy development of China's automobile industry, and strive to make China brands work together to make China's automobile industry bigger and stronger."
Yang Xueliang, senior vice president of Geely Holding Group, also said in forwarding the statement: "We want healthy competition and don't have a guilty conscience; It is necessary to transform and develop, but it is not possible to fight in the same room; We must unite and not split and discredit. "
Some netizens speculated that Zheng Chen joined Geely in March 2022 and became the vice president of design of Geely Automobile Group. So the prototype of Galaxy Light will have some similar design intentions more or less. After all, Zheng Chen worked as an automobile design engineer in Chang 'an in 2002, and completed the design of Yidong, Ruicheng, CS, UNI and other series cars. He used to be the global design director of Changan Automobile Group and the chairman of Changan European Design Center.
However, the final definition of the appearance dispute is always complicated, and we will continue to pay attention to this dispute between Chang 'an and Geely.
On the other hand, without this lawyer's letter from Changan, the attention of Geely Galaxy brand may not be as high as it is now. After all, there are many new energy brands under Geely, as well as Polaris and Lotus, which are really dazzling, but it also exposes Geely's shortcomings in the field of new energy. In the face of the vast new energy market, these brands of Geely are too small and too focused on a single market to compete directly with BYD's rivals.
Obviously, in the models of Geely Yinhe brand, besides the huge structure of Yinhe NOS intelligent cockpit, Geely Expressway NOA and Hai, there should be something more sincere and popular, at least, not worse than rivals.
