Hybrid sedan model Geely Galaxy A7 yields over 10,000 sales during its launch day
The Geely Galaxy A7 is a new mid-size plug-in hybrid sedan that has created a stir in the automotive market. This vehicle, a product of Geely Auto's sub-brand, showcases a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-4 engine and a 235-horsepower electric motor, producing a total system output of about 175 kW (235 hp). The hybrid powertrain is backed by Geely's advanced NordThor AI Electric Hybrid 2.0 or EM-i AI Super Hybrid 2.0 powertrain system, delivering a best-in-class thermal efficiency engine rated at 47.26%, ensuring strong fuel economy (~2.67 L/100 km).
The Galaxy A7 measures 4,918 mm in length, 1,905 mm in width, and 1,495 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,845 mm. This sedan boasts a distinctive design language known as "Galaxy Ripple," featuring a closed front grille, full-width LED light bars front and rear, trapezoid air intake with chrome trim, 19-inch turbine-style rims, and a clean hidden exhaust layout.
Inside, the Galaxy A7 offers a modern cockpit with a wrap-around design, digital instrument cluster, large central touchscreen (15.4-inch 2.5K or options up to 16.6-inch head-up display), and a multifunction oval steering wheel. The cabin blends physical controls with digital screens, features premium materials including soft-touch surfaces and wood accents, and provides extensive storage (28 spaces) and a versatile trunk (535 to 988 liters). Front seats have ventilation standard, with heating and massage available in higher trims.
The Galaxy A7 runs the Flyme Auto operating system, supporting smartphone interfaces like HiCar, Flyme Link, ICCOA, and CarPlay. Driver assistance systems range from Level 2 autonomy with 5 cameras and 2 radars in base trims to the advanced G-Pilot H3 package on higher trims offering 11 cameras, 3 radars, and 12 ultrasonic sensors. Safety features include a high-strength cage body and six airbags.
The Galaxy A7 offers different driving modes such as electric-only, petrol-only, combined, and a “Range Extender” mode focused on maximizing electric range with engine support for charging.
The Galaxy A7 is a direct competitor to the BYD Seal 06 DM-i in the hybrid powertrain and market segment. Other competitors in the hybrid mid-size sedan space would typically include offerings from Toyota (e.g., Camry Hybrid), Honda Accord Hybrid, and Chinese manufacturers focusing on plug-in hybrids.
In China, the starting guide price of the Geely Galaxy A7 is RMB 89,800, which equates to approximately $12,500 USD, making it a strong contender in the hybrid mid-size sedan segment. The Galaxy A7 is the first plug-in hybrid sedan developed based on Geely's GEA architecture (Global Intelligent New Energy Architecture). It was officially launched during an evening event and is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under the symbol 0175.
