Geely Auto has officially unveiled its latest electrified brand called the Geely Galaxy.
Marketed as a high-end electrified product series, the Geely Galaxy brand unveiling was also joined by its first premium PHEV production model, the Geely Galaxy L7 long-range PHEV SUV as well as a concept EV called the Galaxy Light.
The Geely Galaxy brand will be at the forefront of Geely Auto's latest advanced driving techs which were also unveiled during the ceremony. Future NEV enthusiasts can look forward to the brand's extensive use of the latest E-CMA electrified architecture, Aegis battery safety system, NordThor Hybrid 8848 powertrain, and the Galaxy N-OS smart vehicle operating system.
Seven new Geely Galaxy models in two years
The Geely Galaxy journey will start in the second and third quarters of 2023 when the first Galaxy L7 SUV and L6 go up for sale. That will be followed by its first Galaxy E range production model, the Galaxy E8, in the final quarter of 2023.
There will be a total of seven different models that will be introduced by Geely Galaxy in the next two years – three of which will be the Galaxy E range. All of them will incorporate the new Aegis battery safety system which is said to offer the highest level of user protection as well as usage lifespan. It can also predict pre-empt thermal runaways as well as other situations.
Other highlights include the latest-generation NordThor dedicated hybrid engine from Geely, the NordThor 8848. Its biggest shoutout is the achievement of hitting a peak thermal efficiency of 44.26% which improves fuel economy by up to 15% as well as enhanced performances.
Paired to the NordThor three-speed dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT), this hybrid powertrain allows the Geeley Galaxy L7 PHEV SUV to hit 0-100km/h in just 7.5 seconds before arriving at its top speed of 200km/h. In real-world driving situations, the Galaxy L7 can essentially cover 1,370km of range using only a single tank of fuel as tests revealed a remarkable fuel consumption rate of 5.23L/100km. No news so far for its all-electric range, though.
Galaxy N-Operating System
Last but not least, the Galaxy N-Operaing System developed by Geely offers the fastest system startup and response time in its class as the self-developed chips, operating systems, intelligent cloud computing, and satellite networks from Geely are backed using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 vehicle chip.
The brains of it all will see the advancements in the brand's precise satellite positioning, high-precision maps, and intelligent driving assist functionalities in the near future. Perhaps our favourite part is how good the cars look. Very Audi e-tron-like, eh?
