Geely (吉利) Galaxy Xingyao 7 (银河星耀 7) officially launched: MAX model standard with e‑AWD intelligent electric four‑wheel drive, limited‑time price CNY 98,800–129,800

Launch and pricing

Geely (吉利) tonight unveiled the Galaxy Xingyao 7 (银河星耀 7), with the headline move that several trims are now upgraded to the MAX specification, which comes standard with an e‑AWD intelligent electric four‑wheel‑drive system. Official factory pricing runs from CNY 108,800 to CNY 139,800; a limited‑time CNY 10,000 promotional discount brings the effective band down to CNY 98,800–129,800. The entry "230 km" two‑wheel‑drive variant is listed at CNY 108,800 before the temporary cut.

For Western readers: Geely is one of China’s largest private automakers and owner of Volvo Cars and other overseas assets, and the Galaxy sub‑brand is aimed squarely at the highly competitive domestic EV market where value, features and in‑car intelligence are key battlegrounds. How does this fit into the larger picture? It underlines Chinese OEMs’ push to match Western and Japanese rivals on hardware and software while keeping aggressive pricing.

Design and cabin

The Xingyao 7 measures 4,958 × 1,915 × 1,505 mm with a 2,852 mm wheelbase and a 541‑litre trunk. Geely says the car follows the Galaxy family’s "ripple aesthetics" with a vertical "Galaxy Waterfall" grille that can be illuminated, "Flying Eaves Tiger Vision" headlamps, 19‑inch multi‑spoke wheels and a laser‑engraved through taillight called "Rising Sun." Inside the wraparound cabin are soft‑touch surfaces, embossed perforated seats, an integrated molded headliner, a crystal rotary knob, 256‑colour ambient lighting, a smart rear armrest and optional seat‑massage.

The car also debuts an in‑cab companion called the Eva vehicle robot. It has been reported that Eva supports emotional interaction, facial expression display and NFC interaction for content and control — features Geely positions as part of a fuller in‑car digital experience.

Powertrain and driver assistance

Geely quotes a combined output of 312 kW and 526 N·m of torque for the top configuration, with a 0–100 km/h time of 5.4 seconds; the e‑AWD system is described as adaptive to driving conditions. On the autonomy front, the Xingyao 7 ships with Geely’s Qianli Haohan H3 stack, which reportedly integrates 26 high‑perception sensors and a "200k‑level" mainstream high‑compute chip to enable NOA (highway pilot) and full‑scene parking assistance.

These features come amid a broader geopolitical backdrop: Chinese automakers are rapidly building domestic stacks for ADAS and vehicle compute as global tech supply lines and regulatory scrutiny evolve. Whether buyers prioritize price, range or integrated intelligence will determine how models like the Xingyao 7 fare outside China’s crowded EV arena.
