In an EV world driven by smart efficiency, Geely’s all-new Galaxy Star 7 sedan resets expectations for what a hybrid luxury sedan can achieve. This Chinese upmarket model brings together the Thunder God AI Hybrid 2.0 system and the new “Ripple Aesthetics” design philosophy, blending electric sophistication, performance, and cabin spaciousness. Star 7 is targeted at the mid-to-premium PHEV segment and shakes up the landscape alongside rivals like the BYD Qin Plus DM-i and Changan Qiyuan A06 PHEV.

Key Highlights and Specs

  • Design Language: "Ripple Aesthetics" concept delivers both fluid elegance and boldness, with a forward trapezoidal grille accented by vertical chrome bars, thin LED signature headlights, and sporty bumper cutouts.

  • Dimensions: 4,958 mm (L), 1,915 mm (W), 1,505 mm (H), wheelbase 2,852 mm—offering class-leading interior space and sleek profile.

  • Thunder God AI 2.0 Hybrid Powertrain:

    • 1.5L turbo gasoline engine (82 kW/110 hp)

    • Electric motor (120 kW/161 hp)

    • Combined hybrid output: ~271 hp, delivered via a dual 2DHT electric transmission for rapid response and seamless shifts

  • AI-driven Smart System: Uses artificial intelligence to optimize power blending and transitions between electric, hybrid, and engine modes dynamically based on route, traffic, and driver habits.

  • Efficiency and Range:

    • Fuel consumption on battery-empty mode: 2.8L/100km (CLTC standard)

    • Full-electric driving range: 60 km (standard), 125 km (top trims)

    • Combined range is ideal for commuting on pure EV mode, while hybrid extends for long-hauls without range anxiety.

  • Cabin Tech and Interior Anticipation:

    • Expected dual high-resolution digital displays (instrumentation & infotainment)

    • AI-powered "Galaxy N OS" operating system with natural voice controls

    • Premium soft leather, metallic trim, and customizable ambient lighting

    • Split-zone intelligent climate for rear occupants

  • Target Positioning: Battles head-to-head with BYD Qin Plus DM-i and Changan Qiyuan A06 PHEV—with Geely leveraging AI, longer wheelbase, and upmarket dashboard ambiance for differentiation.

Daily Driving with Intelligent Hybrid Power

Picture an engineer commuting 50 km daily between Beijing’s suburbs and city center. With Star 7, they glide silently in pure EV mode through local streets, then see the powertrain seamlessly transition to hybrid power as soon as highway speeds or hills demand it. Thunder God AI tunes output in real time, minimizing fuel use in traffic or maximizing performance when needed, all while the climate system keeps passengers in comfort. No charging stress, no range worries—just intelligent efficiency day after day.

Key Features and Unique Selling Points of Star 7

  • Adaptive AI-powered hybrid/electric management for optimum efficiency

  • Pure EV mode suffices for an entire daily city commute with zero emissions

  • Sleek cabin with expansive digital screens and advanced hands-free voice controls

  • Industry-leading fuel efficiency among mid-size PHEVs (2.8L/100km on CLTC cycle)

  • Premium suspension and chassis setup for a refined ride over long distances

Geely Star 7 marks a shift from “just practical” PHEVs to luxurious smart sedans. Combining proprietary AI, next-gen electrified drives, and human-centered, ripple-inspired design, Geely positions itself squarely against BYD and Changan for the new era of plug-in sedan dominance. The Star 7 will likely appeal to young families, tech-focused buyers, and anyone demanding advanced efficiency without sacrificing comfort or road presence.
