Inspired by the ancient Chinese wisdom from The Artificers' Record, Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i follows the idea that design must be intentional, offering a fresh take on the beauty of plug-in hybrid SUVs.

Drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese furniture, the cabin offers flexible seat combinations and a comprehensively optimized seating experience:

•Cabin Design: Inspired by the modular design of traditional Chinese Yanji furniture, the cabin provides 16 seat combinations and 34 storage compartments, offering a flexible layout tailored to the varying needs of families and friends.

•Seat Design: Drawing wisdom from traditional Chinese armchairs, the high console promotes a naturally upright posture, supporting the elbows while alleviating shoulder and neck pressure. This design helps relax joints and muscles. It also features a 10-layer cushioned seat and a 14-point massage system targeting the shoulders, back, waist, and buttocks, ensuring an ergonomic position with maximum comfort.

The exterior design is inspired by the universal appeal of porcelain:

•Refined and Lustrous Exterior: Inspired by porcelain, the side profile features 9 facets with varying curvatures. Through meticulous adjustments to surface curves and arcs, it manages the play of light and shadow for a refined, dynamic appeal.

•Glaze-like Finish in Six Colors: Drawing inspiration from the glazes of Chinese porcelain, the six car colors feature a striking finish, achieved through nearly 50 formula experiments with color pastes, aluminum powders, and clear coats.

•Proportioned and Tall Presence: The fully optimized longitudinal centerline gives the vehicle a proportioned, tall presence with a decent, raised front. It also offers a spacious, comfortable cabin beyond its class. Its sleek, commanding presence captures the elegance of a classic SUV.

Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i addresses range anxiety amid the growing trend of electrification and smart technology in automobiles while ensuring safety. It represents a high-quality smart vehicle crafted for everyone.

•It features the advanced NordThor E-Hybrid powertrain and over 20 low-drag designs, reducing its drag coefficient to 0.288 and extending its range to 1,420 km.

Unlike the overused trend of removing physical buttons, it retains physical controls for frequently used functions, offering a safer, more convenient, and efficient experience.
