Geely Galaxy Cruiser 700 officially opened pre-orders on Sept. 15, offering six variants with prices ranging from RMB 199,800 ($29.8K) to RMB 389,800 ($58.1K). The highest-trim limited edition is capped at 700 units.
Official figures show the Geely Galaxy Cruiser 700 clocked over 43.9K pre‑orders within its first 60 minutes of pre‑sale launch.
As Geely Galaxy’s first rugged boxy SUV, the Galaxy Cruiser 700 targets the mid-to-large-size new energy off-road SUV segment. It is based on Geely’s GTA native new energy off-road architecture, covering family travel, outdoor exploration and light off-road scenarios.
The SUV measures 5,085 mm in length, 1,999 mm in width and 1,895 mm in height, with a 2,900 mm wheelbase. Its boxy body design emphasizes a rugged character.
The front adopts an “Oriental Lion” design theme, featuring “Tianyi Eye” headlights, a raised hood structure and functional air vents to enhance its off-road styling.
The side profile follows a traditional boxy SUV layout, equipped with roof rails and retractable side steps. The rear features a side-hinged tailgate and an externally mounted spare tire, further highlighting its adventure-oriented positioning.
Unlike many urban-focused boxy SUVs currently on the market, the Galaxy Cruiser 700 differentiates itself with stronger off-road capability.
Built on the GTA native new energy off-road platform, the SUV offers 2.0T and 1.5T plug-in hybrid powertrains, paired with a tri-motor four-wheel-drive system that delivers up to 830kW of combined output. Its 0-100 km/h acceleration time is as quick as 3.95 seconds.
The vehicle also comes with differential locks and an AI-powered all-terrain digital chassis, featuring active hydraulic suspension, CCD dampers and an AI preview “Magic Carpet” system.
For off-road performance, the Galaxy Cruiser 700 offers a 30-degree approach angle, a 31-degree departure angle and 233 mm of ground clearance, allowing it to handle a wider range of unpaved roads and outdoor conditions.
Inside, the SUV adopts a large five-seat layout with a more premium cabin design. Features include an aircraft-style gear selector, crystal-textured control buttons and metallic speaker trim.
It also comes with a five-screen interconnected display system, supporting Super EVA and Geely’s G-ASD Qianli Haohan intelligent driving assistance system.
On the power side, all versions are equipped with a 47.14kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, delivering up to 305 km of CLTC pure-electric range. The 2.0T plug-in hybrid version offers a 160kW engine and a combined driving range of up to 1,770 km.
The Galaxy Cruiser 700 enters a fast-growing new energy boxy SUV market.
Data shows Fangchengbao Ti7 delivered 23,471 units in August, while the GWM H10 recorded 10,178 deliveries in its first month after launch. Demand for boxy SUVs continues to expand, driven by their combination of rugged styling, urban practicality and personalized appeal.
Compared with these models, which are positioned more toward urban family use, the Galaxy Cruiser 700 seeks to stand out with its tri-motor four-wheel-drive system, differential locks and dedicated new energy off-road architecture. It also combines large cabin space, smart features and comfort-focused equipment to attract family buyers.
In August 2026, Geely Galaxy sales reached 119,115 units, up 8% year on year. From January to August, Geely Group’s new energy vehicle sales totaled 175,877 units, rising about 19% year on year.
