Geely has never had such a crossover. Presented 390-horsepower Geely Galaxy L7 with a power reserve of 1370 km
Yesterday, a big premiere took place in China – Geely officially introduced its new Galaxy brand and the first car released under this brand. It turned out to be a mid-size hybrid crossover Galaxy L.
Interestingly, Geely was able to keep a secret to the last as to what kind of car will be presented. Judging by the teaser, it was necessary to wait for the sedan (and it did appear on the stage, but only as a concept), but the crossover was fully presented.
With the Galaxy L7, the company focused on features, safety and fuel efficiency. So, for example, there are eight layers of protection for the traction battery.
For China, the Galaxy L7 is a compact crossover, for the rest of the world it is a mid-size crossover. Dimensions are 4700 x 1905 x 1685 mm, wheelbase – 2785 mm. It is comparable in size to the Honda CR-V.
The cabin has four screens. In front of the driver, as part of a digital dashboard, there is a 10.25-inch display. Another screen with a diagonal of 13.2 inches and a vertical orientation is in the center of the front panel. A 16.2-inch screen is installed in front of the front passenger. Finally, there is a projection display with a diagonal of 25.6 inches.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 single-chip system is responsible for coordinating various functions. The car also received a new Galaxy N-OS OS, in which applications are accelerated, startup time is reduced and work with voice commands is improved.
A completely new crossover is also supposed to have a completely new power plant – it is called the NordThor Hi-X 8848 (the name indicates the height of Everest – a hint at the top of what may be under the hood). The power plant has a power of 390 hp, the thermal efficiency of the internal combustion engine, which is part of it, is 44.26%, and Geely is very proud of this result.
The crossover accelerates to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, with a top speed of 200 km/h. Claimed fuel consumption is 5.2 liters per 100 km (according to the WLTC methodology), the range of a fully charged and fueled car is 1370 km (already according to the CLTC methodology).
In China, orders for the new product are already being accepted. By making a deposit of $86 now, it will be credited 10 times later. The price starts at $29,000.
Hyundai introduced the new Hyundai Mufasa crossover, which is positioned as a replacement for the Hyundai ix35 model. So far, this is a concept, but the serial production version can be seen during the Shanghai Motor Show on April 18, and sales will begin in early July.
The car has high ground clearance, a pronounced off-road body kit and matching tires, as well as running boards and reinforced bumpers. Above is an unusual trunk. In the area of the rear left pillar is a strange element, the purpose of which is still unclear.
At the rear, Hyundai designers have created brake lights in the shape of an oval, inside which is the letter logo of the Hyundai brand. A duplicate brake light is located on the rear spoiler.
Body dimensions are 4475 x 1850 x 1665 mm, wheelbase is 2680 mm. Salon Hyundai Mufasa will be minimalistic. There are practically no physical buttons on the front panel, and all control is placed on the touch screen. The driver also has access to a digital dashboard.
The production car will be equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated G4NJ engine with a maximum output of 161 hp. A hybrid version will also be available.
Geely has announced the launch of a new Cao Cao Automobile brand. The first car will be presented on March 29, it is known that it will be called Cao Cao 60.
Geely already operates its Cao Cao Mobility-branded taxi division, which competes with Didi (China’s alternative to Uber), has 150 million users and is aiming for an IPO in 2023.
The new automotive brand Geely will focus on the production of vehicles designed to carry passengers. Previously, Cao Cao Mobility used electric vehicles from Ruilan Auto and the Geely Geometry brand. It was mainly a Geometry A sedan with a range of 600 km and a Ruilan Maple 80V minivan (by Ruilan Auto) supporting battery swap. The agreement between Ruilan and Cao Cao was signed in April 2022. Ruilan Auto is a joint venture between Lifan and Geely. It is an automaker currently focusing on electric vehicles with replaceable batteries.
In September last year, it was reported that Cao Cao Mobility and Geely’s self-driving driving division began a collaboration on a robotic taxi project to build a self-driving platform.
Geely Holding owns many brands, including Lotus, Volvo, Zeekr, Lynk&Co and many more. A month ago, Geely announced another series called Galaxy, which will release seven new models in the next two years.
