Geely Galaxy (吉利银河) M7 SUV opens for pre‑sale from RMB 139,800

Overview

Geely Galaxy (吉利银河) has opened pre‑sales for its new M7 SUV with a headline price of RMB 139,800 (about $19–20k). The plug‑in hybrid newcomer promises an unusually long CLTC combined range — Geely states up to 1,730 km — and a maximum CLTC pure‑electric range of 225 km on the larger battery pack. How far can a plug‑in hybrid go? Geely is pitching the M7 as a long‑range family cruiser that blurs the line between PHEV and extended‑range EV.

Design and dimensions

The M7 uses Geely’s latest family face, dubbed “Feiyan Hushi” (飞檐虎视) up front and a “Xinghan Lianyi” (星汉涟漪) full‑width light bar containing 362 LEDs and roughly 500 laser‑engraved details, features the company highlighted at the launch. The body adopts a floating roof and aerodynamically tuned details across some 20 surfaces; Geely claims a drag coefficient of 0.27. Dimensions are 4,770 mm long, 1,905 mm wide and 1,685 mm high, with a 2,785 mm wheelbase. The car reportedly recorded a moose‑test speed of 81 km/h.

Powertrain and range

The M7 pairs a 1.5L “Leishen EM” super‑hybrid engine (82 kW, 47.26% thermal efficiency) with dual battery options — 18.4 kWh and 29.8 kWh — and debuts with Geely’s “Shendun JinZhuan” (神盾金砖) battery pack. GEely’s CLTC figures are manufacturer claims: up to 225 km pure EV range and a combined 1,730 km on a single tank-plus‑charge. It has been reported that the car also carries the StarRay AI Cloud Power 2.0 management system and supports a vision‑sensing tailgate.

Interior tech and market context

Inside, the M7 runs Flyme Auto 2 and Geely’s new G‑ASD H3 driver‑assist suite with NOA highway capabilities and parking assist for more than 300 scenarios, according to the maker — marketing claims that are common in China’s fast‑evolving ADAS space. The cabin is fitted with suede‑like materials, natural wood trim, a 23‑speaker Flyme Sound system, 256‑colour AI ambient lighting, a 1.2 m² panoramic roof and ventilated, heated and massaging seats. The launch comes as Chinese automakers double down on integrated software and in‑house components amid global trade frictions and export controls on advanced chips — an increasingly important backdrop as firms seek to scale both domestically and overseas.
