- Geely Galaxy 700 debuted in Milan with a PHEV powertrain combining a range-extending ICE and three electric motors producing 830 kW (~1,113 hp) and 1,692 Nm (~1,250 lb-ft) of torque.
- The Galaxy 700's calculated power-to-weight ratio of 392 hp/tonne should place its straight-line performance between a Ferrari 458 Italia and a McLaren 570S, per the source's estimates.
- Geely's proprietary GVMC semi-active suspension and AI-powered traction control enable the SUV to pass Europe's moose test at 50 mph, plus tank turns, crab walk, and continued driving after a tire blowout.
- The Galaxy 700's interior includes 50 factory installation points for owner accessories and a customizable array of screens and seating configurations.
- All Galaxy 700 variants ship with a 41.7 kWh CATL LFP battery pack delivering 165–185 km (~100–115 miles) of electric range.
- Geely Galaxy brand sales rose roughly 20% year-on-year in the most recent month, ending five consecutive months of declines, with 519,793 vehicles sold in H1 2026 (~5% below the prior-year period).
Why it matters: Geely originally positioned the Galaxy 700 against the Range Rover and Land Cruiser, but the 1,113 hp output and Ferrari/McLaren performance estimates put a three-row family SUV into exotic-car territory — an unusual pitch that could reset buyer expectations for large Chinese plug-in hybrids. The 20% monthly sales rebound also ends a five-month slide for the Galaxy brand, giving Geely momentum behind the launch.
