The Geely Galaxy Cruiser idea was one of many stars of Auto Shanghai final yr, taking on the baton from 2024’s Galaxy Starship. The excellent news is that the rugged plug-in hybrid SUV is headed to manufacturing, if this Autocar report is to be believed.
Clearly impressed by the likes of the Land Rover Defender and Ford Broncothe boxy Galaxy Cruiser is about to go on sale in China by the tip of the yr. Whereas no timeline has been set for exports, the corporate’s UK advertising and marketing boss Yan Tianxiao confirmed that “we will certainly launch that automotive within the UK,” so it should enter world markets ultimately.
In a departure from Geely’s different value-oriented fashions, the manufacturing Galaxy Cruiser will shun the World Clever New Power Structure (GEA) in favour of a luxurious variant of the Sustainable Expertise Structure (SEA-R). This will probably be shared with the Zeekr 9X and the vary extender model of the Electreamusingly referred to as (in China, anyway) because the For Me.
It’s because the platform has spectacular off-road functionality constructed into it, in keeping with design studio director Flavien Dachet – that means that the Galaxy Cruiser can have the go-anywhere chops to again up its outdoorsy look. “Once they went testing in Chinese language deserts, it was manner past what they anticipated to do when it comes to capability,” he stated.
Utilising the 9X’s platform means the Galaxy Cruiser ought to use the identical monstrously highly effective vary extender EV powertrain, with a 2.0 litre turbo four-cylinder engine serving to to cost the battery. There are 897 PS/935 Nm dual-motor and 1,400 PS/1,410 Nm triple-motor variations, paired with both a 55 kWh or a 70 kWh LFP battery for as much as 380 km of CLTC-rated EV vary on the 9X. Complete vary is quoted at 1,250 km.
Dachet admits that the design borrows from established 4x4s, though the automotive is aimed extra for luxurious and household patrons fairly than hardcore off-road fans. “There’s at all times the identical recipes, whether or not you take a look at the Defender, the G-Wagenthe (Ford) Bronco; the codes are the identical. It’s (about) how we interpret it in a manner that’s recognisable.”
The upper-end positioning of the Galaxy Cruiser means it’s unlikely to enter Malaysia as a Proton eMas – not least as a result of the superior REEV powertrain would make the automotive too costly for native tastes.
