Chinese automaker Geely has officially unveiled its new Geely Galaxy A7 EM-i, the first plug-in hybrid sedan based on the advanced Geely Electric Architecture (GEA) platform. This vehicle marks a significant leap in the hybrid car segment, featuring the new "Geely EM AI Super Hybrid 2.0" system—previously known as Leishen or NordThor Hybrid 2.0—that delivers high fuel efficiency and impressive performance.
Modern and Sporty Exterior Design
The Galaxy A7 EM-i adopts Geely’s latest "Galaxy Ripple" design language, characterized by a fully closed front grille and a full-width LED light bar, complemented by sleek headlights that enhance the car's sporty and elegant look. Silver accents on the front bumper and triangular air intakes add a dynamic touch.
Measuring 4918 mm in length, 1905 mm in width, and 1495 mm in height, with a 2845 mm wheelbase, the sedan offers spacious and comfortable interior space. It is available in six different colors at launch, equipped with 19-inch Continental tires.
Powertrain and Performance
The Galaxy A7 EM-i is powered by an advanced hybrid system combining a 1.5-liter gasoline engine (BHE15-BFN) and a P3 electric motor, delivering a total output of 175 kW. The engine boasts a thermal efficiency of 47.26%, making it one of the most efficient in its class.
The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 190 km/h. Its combined fuel consumption under the CLTC cycle is just 2.67 liters per 100 km in battery depletion mode.
Multiple Battery Options and Extensive Electric Range
Geely offers several lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery options with capacities of 8.5, 18.4, and 18.99 kWh, allowing users to select an electric-only driving range between 55 and 150 km.
Thanks to an AI-powered intelligent energy management system, power distribution between the electric motor and gasoline engine is optimized to extend battery life and achieve a total driving range exceeding 2100 km under the CLTC standard.
Luxurious Interior and Advanced Technologies
The interior design draws inspiration from the larger Starshine 8 model, featuring a floating 15.4-inch central touchscreen running the Flyme Auto system, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The multifunctional dual-spoke steering wheel offers extensive controls.
The infotainment system supports CarPlay, HiCar, Flyme Link, OTA updates, AI scene recognition, and adaptive energy management. The cabin also includes a 16-speaker Flyme Sound system, a 16.6-inch head-up display (HUD), panoramic sunroof with electric curtain, and ambient lighting with 256 colors.
Front seats come with ventilation, heating, integrated headrest speakers, and eight massage modes. Rear seats offer ample space and 40/60 folding capability to expand trunk volume from 535 to 988 liters.
Safety and Driver Assistance Features
The vehicle is equipped with advanced driver assistance systems including multiple surround cameras, blind-spot monitoring, intelligent stability control, and parking assistance, enhancing driving safety and convenience.
Pricing and Availability
The Geely Galaxy A7 EM-i is expected to be priced between 100,000 and 130,000 Chinese yuan (approximately $14,000 to $18,200 USD), positioning it competitively between the Galaxy L6 and Starshine 8 models. It will be available in the Chinese market later this year.
The Geely Galaxy A7 EM-i represents a sophisticated hybrid sedan that combines strong performance, excellent efficiency, and smart technologies. With an impressive driving range exceeding 2100 km, modern styling, and luxurious features, it is an ideal choice for those seeking a balance of economy, comfort, and innovation.
As the electric and hybrid vehicle industry continues to evolve, Geely once again demonstrates its capability to deliver innovative solutions that meet growing consumer demands and solidify its position as a leading player in this sector.
