On December 6, Geely Auto, at the place where its dream set sail—Taizhou, Zhejiang—ushered in the grand launch of the all-new A-segment electric hybrid SUV, the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i. This model, which combines many of Geely's latest technologies, not only redefines the standard for a new generation of national premium SUVs with its outstanding performance, excellent design, and ultra-high cost-effectiveness, but also set off a revolutionary storm in the A-segment electric hybrid SUV market.
As Geely Galaxy's first electric hybrid SUV meticulously built on the GEA dedicated new energy architecture, the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i has attracted much attention since presales began. Its official launch not only marks another major breakthrough for Geely in the new energy field, but also demonstrates Geely Galaxy's ultimate pursuit of high quality and high cost-effectiveness with its limited-time introductory guide price of 99,800 yuan to 132,800 yuan.
The Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i can be called a model of energy efficiency. Equipped with the world's new-generation Thor EM-i super electric hybrid system, it has the world's highest mass-produced engine thermal efficiency of 46.5%, and with the E-DHT intelligent continuously variable 11-in-1 hybrid electric drive and AI smart energy management system, it achieves the segment's lowest fuel consumption of 3.75L/100km, with comprehensive range reaching as high as 1420km. This figure has not only been verified in actual tests, but also achieved an average fuel consumption of 3.2L per 100 kilometers in real tests by professional media, truly bringing electric hybrid SUVs into a new era of 3L-level fuel consumption.
Energy efficiency does not mean a compromise in power. The electric hybrid engine of the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i has a maximum power of up to 82kW and a maximum torque of 136N·m, while the motor power is as high as 160kW, with maximum torque reaching 262N·m. Such a power combination enables the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 7.5s, with a top speed of up to 180km/h, allowing it to easily handle both urban commuting and high-speed driving.
In terms of safety, the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i also performs excellently. It was developed from the ground up based on the GEA dedicated new energy architecture and innovatively adopts an "oil-electric isolation" design, giving key components such as high-voltage wires and high-temperature exhaust pipes their own dedicated channels, truly achieving "high voltage and low voltage without interference, and more harmonious coexistence of oil and electricity." This design not only fundamentally solves the safety hazards of electric hybrid models, but also brings the safety of the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i to a new height.
In addition, the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i is also equipped with the Aegis short-blade battery, which far exceeds industry safety standards. This battery achieves segment-leading performance in aspects such as battery pack structural protection and explosion-proof pressure relief technology, and has passed more than 100 full-scenario extreme operating condition tests. Its rigorous experimental results, such as not catching fire after 8 needles piercing simultaneously, not leaking after 24h immersion in water, not exploding after a 2m drop, and not burning after being exposed to 700°C high-temperature flames, further fill people with confidence in its safety.
In addition to energy efficiency and safety, the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i also performs excellently in space, driving control, and intelligence. Thanks to the advantages of forward development based on the GEA native architecture, the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i has the most spacious interior in an A-segment SUV. Its segment-leading 84.3% ultra-high length "space utilization rate," along with the segment's largest 3.3m² light-transmitting area and large panoramic sunroof, brings passengers a spacious and airy riding experience.
In terms of driving control, the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i adopts a MacPherson front suspension and a four-link E-type independent rear suspension, as well as aluminum rear steering knuckles found only in luxury cars, making its handling performance even more outstanding. At the same time, its ultra-small turning radius of 5.3m also gives this A-segment SUV flexible handling characteristics, allowing it to easily cope even on tricky curved roads.
In terms of intelligent experience, the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i is the first among electric hybrid models to be equipped with the Galaxy Flyme Auto smart cockpit. Thanks to the deep empowerment of Geely Xingrui Intelligent Computing, this smart cockpit has a natural design style and efficient interaction logic, enabling a smooth and seamless integrated experience across the vehicle, mobile phone, and cloud. Its cloud-based "boundless space" provides unlimited computing power, can satisfy unlimited expansion of ecosystem applications, and ensures a smooth, lag-free user experience. The full availability of mainstream high-frequency applications on the vehicle side, along with a 14.6-inch narrow-bezel central control screen, a 10.2-inch full LCD instrument panel, and a 13.8-inch ultra-clear W-HUD head-up display, further brings passengers an highly enjoyable three-screen interactive experience.
It is worth mentioning that the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i is also equipped with a 16-speaker Flyme Sound Boundless Sound audio system. This system benchmarks against top luxury audio, adopts a 12-channel 1000W independent digital amplifier, and references the audio layout of the National Centre for the Performing Arts, bringing passengers the segment's only 7.1.2 surround sound and delivering cinema-level audio-visual enjoyment. At the same time, the segment's only headrest speakers and four comfort modes further allow passengers to enjoy high-quality music while also experiencing a more personalized comfort experience.
The launch of the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i not only brings a brand-new high-quality model to the A-segment electric hybrid SUV market, but also redefines the standard for a new generation of national premium SUVs with its characteristics of high quality and excellent price. Its outstanding energy efficiency, excellent safety, spacious interior, flexible driving control, and intelligent experience all make the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i a brilliant new star in the A-segment electric hybrid SUV market. We have reason to believe that in the days to come, the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i will win the favor and recognition of more consumers with its outstanding performance.
