The rugged Geely Galaxy Cruiser 700 crossover is preparing for launch

Geely’s new crossover will be offered as an all-wheel-drive hybrid, with two such versions expected. The model will hit the domestic market before the end of this year.

Geely has taken its time with the premiere of the brutal crossover in the Galaxy lineup. The model was first presented as a concept last year. The first photos of the production version were published in March of this year, along with the announcement of its commercial name – Geely Galaxy Cruiser 700. In early July, the interior was showcased. And today, a presentation was held in China for local journalists and bloggers, although the manufacturer has still not revealed all specifications. However, additional official images have been published. Moreover, the Galaxy Cruiser 700 recently passed certification, so a general idea of the model can still be gathered.

The Cruiser 700 features a “boxy” body, imposing bumpers, LED semi-circular daytime running lights, vertical rear lights, and a split tailgate that can accommodate a spare wheel. The emblem on the radiator grille is illuminated. Of course, the equipment list includes an autopilot system with a lidar mounted above the windshield.

According to today’s presentation, a wide range of accessories is also planned for the Geely Galaxy Cruiser 700. These include various trim panels, an expedition roof rack, additional roof lights, and a storage box on the rear pillar.

The Geely Galaxy Cruiser 700 measures 5085 mm in length (possibly including the spare wheel), 1999 mm in width, and its height varies from 1895 to 1925 mm depending on the configuration. The wheelbase is 2900 mm. Chinese media also report a certified ground clearance of 233 mm.

Inside the five-seat cabin, there is an instrument display integrated into the front panel and a “floating” tablet for the multimedia system. In front of the passenger, there is another narrow display. On the center tunnel are a massive gear lever, a charging pad, and physical buttons, with a touch panel for settings at its end. The central armrest hides a box with heating and cooling functions.

The Galaxy Cruiser 700 is an all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid. According to documents from the Ministry of Industry, the base versions feature a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine producing 163 hp, while more expensive variants come with a 2.0-liter turbo engine delivering 218 hp.

Geely has also previously stated that the hybrid system includes three electric motors (likely one at the front and two at the rear), and that the Cruiser 700 features a differential lock and the company’s proprietary GVMC dynamic control system. Finally, Chinese media are predicting a “crab mode” for the new model. According to their data, the total power output of the top-tier crossover is 1128.5 hp. It is expected that the crossover will be offered with a battery capacity of 47.14 kWh.

The brutal Geely Galaxy Cruiser 700 is expected to hit the domestic market before the end of this year. In 2027, the new model will likely be exported, possibly under a different name.
