Geely is confidently gaining a position in the electrified car market, and the new Galaxy Starship 7 hybrid crossover is a clear confirmation of this. This plug-in hybrid with a gasoline engine and an electric motor is equipped with the new advanced Nord Thor EM-i powertrain , which is designed to surpass the superiority of BYD's already proven fifth-generation DM-i technology. With its appearance, Galaxy Starship 7 created a real sensation among Chinese brands, impressing car enthusiasts and experts.
The Galaxy Starship, whose name translates to "Spaceship", was presented in a place that best reflected its image - the Galaxy flagship was presented on board a real warship, emphasizing its technological power and innovation. In this video we will analyze the Galaxy Starship 7, talk about the unique design solutions, technical characteristics and features of the hybrid power plant. Designed on the same next- generation Global Intelligent Architecture (GEA) as the pure-electric Galaxy E5, the Galaxy Starship 7 bears clear similarities to its electric sibling, especially in the center section of the body.
However, despite the similarities, the front and rear of the car have been significantly redesigned, giving it a unique look. The front of the Galaxy Starship 7 features a full-width light bar as the main design highlight, while multi-level daytime running lights on both sides add a modern touch to the car. The main headlights have been moved down into the bumper, which also changes the overall appearance.
Also interesting is the lack of an illuminated grille, which is optional on the E5 model. The rear of the car has also been redesigned, with the taillight graphics slightly modified and the license plate recess now located on the tailgate. The only noticeable difference is the traditional door handles, which have replaced retractable door handles.
The profile, glass line and appearance of the rear end bear similarities to the Porsche Macan. The E5's aerodynamic wheels have been replaced with stylish 18- or 19-inch multi-spoke options. In terms of aerodynamics, the Galaxy Starship 7 has a drag coefficient of 0.
288, which is slightly higher than the E5's 0. 269, but still remains high for a car in its class. This crossover has the following dimensions: length is 4740 mm, width is 1905 mm, and height is 1685 mm.
Wheelbase is 2755 mm. It is slightly larger in size than the electric Galaxy E5, which emphasizes its focus on convenience and space. Depending on the configuration, the curb weight varies from 1724 to 1790 kg.
The turning radius is 5. 3 meters, which provides good maneuverability when parking and on narrow streets. In addition, this crossover is available in six colors: green, silver, white, grey, black and blue.
One of the key technical innovations of the new Geely Galaxy Starship 7 was the NordThor 2. 0 hybrid power plant, which surprised with its efficiency and power. This unit outperforms competitors such as BYD and represents a true achievement in the field of hybrid technology.
At the heart of this hybrid setup is a 1. 5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine producing 112 hp. But the thermal efficiency of this internal combustion engine was 46.
5%, which is currently the highest figure in the world, as the manufacturer says. In combination with the gasoline engine, the E-DHT electric drive consists of 11 components, including two electric motors, a gearbox and control modules, combined in one housing. This system is capable of producing up to 218 hp.
in electric mode. Geely Galaxy Starship 7 is equipped with batteries with a capacity of 19. 1 and 29 kWh, which allows the car to travel 101-150 km in all-electric mode according to the Chinese CLTC cycle.
Although these figures may be slightly lower in real-world conditions, they still provide a decent range. DC fast charging makes it possible to charge the battery from 30% to 80% in a stated 20 minutes. As for dynamics, the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 accelerates to 100 km/h in just 7.
5 seconds, and the top speed is 180 km/h. Fuel consumption, depending on the battery condition, ranges from 2. 6 liters per 100 km in hybrid mode up to 4.
8 liters with a discharged battery. With a full 51-liter tank and a battery charge, the car can cover up to 1,430 km. The interior of the Geely Galaxy Starship 7, available in two elegant colors - brown and white, combines advanced technology and high-quality materials, creating a unique atmosphere of luxury and comfort.
The interior design, in general, is reminiscent of the Galaxy E5 electric car, while retaining recognizable elements. One of the highlights is the two-spoke, flat-bottom steering wheel, which features touch-sensitive buttons on both sides. Behind the steering wheel is a 10.
25-inch instrument panel, followed by a 13. 8-inch head-up display and a 14. 6-inch central multimedia screen that controls a variety of functions.
The Galaxy Flyme Auto operating system provides ease of use and allows you to easily configure all vehicle parameters. Not far from the screen there are thin air deflectors, and the front panel itself and door cards are decorated with elegant lighting, creating a cozy and modern atmosphere. The center console not only includes a sleek panel with physical buttons for quick access, but also a 50-watt wireless smartphone charging pad .
The front seats are equipped with 14-point massage, heating and ventilation, providing superior comfort for the driver and passengers. The 16-speaker Flyme Sound system, including dedicated headrest speakers and three round speakers on the front panel, has a power of 1000 watts, immersing you in rich and clear sound. An interesting feature is the presence of external speakers that can play interactive voices or imitate animal sounds.
To increase comfort and convenience, the crossover is also equipped with a panoramic sunroof and an electric sunshade. There's also a large boot at the rear with a capacity of 628 liters (including the extra space that can be gained by lowering the floor by 100 liters). But that's not all: with the rear seats folded down, cargo space increases to 2065 liters and its length reaches 1856 mm, which opens up additional possibilities for transporting large and long items.
Geely Galaxy Starship 7 will debut in China at the end of this year, and this new product promises to be a real breakthrough in the market. Although the manufacturer has not yet announced the exact price, Chinese media expect the base version to cost around $21,000. The Galaxy Starship 7 is not just a new crossover, but part of Geely's ambitious plan to release seven hybrid and all-electric models in the Galaxy lineup by 2025.
The model not only promises impressive performance, but also focuses on eliminating the shortcomings of competitors, setting a new standard in the class. To achieve success in the market, Geely focuses on a simple and transparent approach to pricing, offering a flexible system of configurations. This approach allows buyers to select only the options they need, making the model accessible to a wider audience.
The Galaxy Starship 7 promises to be a significant player that can change the perception of hybrid crossovers by combining modern technology, high performance and affordability. Thank you for watching this video to the end! If you liked it, like, subscribe to the channel and leave comments.
