Geely's first native new-energy hardcore SUV, the Galaxy Battleship 700, officially launched on October 10. The new car has a limited-time renewal price starting at 169,800 yuan, with a total of 3 powertrains and 6 versions. Initial order data after launch was explosive, with orders exceeding 10,000 in 12 minutes. Many car-buying friends ask: can this boxy vehicle serve as a substitute for Tank and Fangchengbao? For family long trips and light off-roading, is it actually reliable? Today, with no hype and no bashing, we will clearly explain the highlights and shortcomings all at once.

✅ Core highlights

Low price threshold, hardcore architecture with ladder frame, adopting the GTA native hardcore architecture and integrated ladder-frame body, different from unibody-chassis urban SUVs. With a limited-time starting price of 169,800 yuan, it directly pulls the threshold for new-energy hardcore SUVs with ladder frames below 200,000 yuan, which is also the most core reason for the new car's surge in popularity.

Powerful performance, impressive fast-charging capability, divided into three powertrains: 1.5T single-motor, 1.5T three-motor, and 2.0T three-motor. The top-spec 2.0T three-motor version has a combined 1,129 horsepower and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.95 seconds; the three-motor four-wheel-drive model supports Waltz tank-turn in place and comes with two intelligent software locks + one mechanical hard lock. The entire series is equipped with a 47 kWh CATL battery, supports 6C high-voltage smart charging, and fast charging from 10% to 70% takes only 8 minutes and 25 seconds. With a full tank and full charge, the maximum combined range is 1,770 km, and fuel consumption under low battery is as low as 5L, so there is no range anxiety for long trips.

Rich configuration, family-friendly attributes maxed out. The vehicle length is 5,085 mm, wheelbase is 2,900 mm, with a large five-seat layout, and cabin utilization rate is 80.3%. Higher-trim models come standard with an 18.5L heating/cooling onboard refrigerator, CCD variable damping suspension, and a 23-speaker audio system; front seats have ventilation / heating / massage, and the passenger seat has a leg rest; five-screen linkage, equipped with Qianli Haohan H7 full-scenario intelligent driving, supporting full-scenario driving and parking integration from parking space to parking space. The AI all-terrain system automatically identifies road conditions and switches off-road modes, lowering the threshold for off-roading, so beginners can also enjoy light crossings. Multiple modification interfaces are reserved, suitable for camping enthusiasts.

⚠️ Objective shortcomings, be sure to see clearly before buying

Large five-seat layout, no 6/7-seat version. Many people see the square body and mistakenly think there are multi-seat versions, but in reality the entire lineup only has a large five-seat layout. If the family needs long-term travel for 6 or 7 people, this car can be directly ruled out.

Lack of rear wiper, no streaming media rearview mirror. The hardcore boxy vehicle has an externally mounted spare tire at the rear, and the tail is easy to get dirty on rainy days, but it is not equipped with a rear wiper. For users who often drive on rough roads and long-distance road trips, visibility will be affected.

All-new architecture, long-term reliability remains to be verified by the market. It is Geely's first native ladder-frame hardcore SUV. Although the paper specifications are strong, the long-term durability of the chassis, electric drive system, and locking mechanisms still needs a large number of owner real-world tests. Compared with the Tank series, its market accumulation time is short.

No heat pump air conditioning. In low-temperature winter environments, pure electric range shrinkage will be more obvious, and northern users need to consider this carefully. The number of applications in the infotainment ecosystem is not large, and intelligent expansion capability is average.

Large body size. The vehicle length exceeds 5 meters and width is close to 2 meters. In narrow urban underground garages and small parking spaces, parking will test one's skills.

Who is suitable to buy? Who should consider carefully

✅ Worth focusing on:

Users who like the boxy appearance and balance urban commuting + light off-roading, long-distance road trips, and camping

Those who value fast charging and long range, often drive long distances, and do not want range anxiety

Those with large five-seat needs, who value ride comfort in the cabin, and want family comfort features such as an onboard refrigerator and seat massage

Those with a budget of 170,000-250,000 yuan who want to buy a new-energy hardcore SUV with a ladder frame

❌ Consider carefully before buying:

Families with a rigid need for 6-seat or 7-seat multi-member travel

Those with cramped parking spaces or in old urban residential compounds where parking is inconvenient

Northern users who use pure electric mode for long periods in winter and are very sensitive to winter range degradation

Those planning heavy off-roading and extreme crossings, who value long-term market-verified reliability

✍️ Simple purchase suggestions

Limited budget, mainly urban commuting: choose the 1.5T two-wheel-drive Exploration Edition, limited-time starting at 169,800 yuan, and the basic configuration is already very complete

Want light off-roading and four-wheel-drive capability: the 1.5T three-motor Yufeng Edition has the highest cost-performance ratio and comes with terrain modes

Pursuing fully loaded performance, mechanical locks, and air suspension: go directly for the 2.0T three-motor Dingfeng Edition

The limited-time renewal benefits end on October 31. A major order deposit is required to enjoy the subsidy. Friends planning to buy can go for more test drives to feel the body size and chassis quality.
