The Geely Galaxy Cruiser 700 (Chinese: 吉利银河战舰700; pinyin: Jílì Yínhé Zhànjiàn 700; literally: 'Auspicious silver river battleship 700') is a plug-in hybrid mid-size SUV produced by the Geely Group and marketed under the Geely Galaxy marque.
Overview
The Cruiser 700 was directly previewed by the Geely Galaxy Cruiser at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show on April 28, 2025.[1] It will compete with the Fangchengbao Bao 5 and the Deepal G318.[2] On January 16, 2026, Geely confirmed to British automotive magazine Auto Express that the United Kingdom will be the first export country to get the Cruiser 700.[3] A global naming contest began on March 10, 2026, with a teaser image posted on the same day. Geely also shared a video of the Cruiser 700 undergoing winter testing exactly a week before.[4]
Geely confirmed on March 20, 2026, that the production version of the Galaxy Cruiser would use the Geely Galaxy Cruiser 700 ("吉利银河战舰700; Jílì Yínhé Zhànjiàn 700") name, carrying over the name from the concept but adding the 700 suffix. The name was selected from more than 50,000 user-selected name proposals.[5]
Design
The Galaxy Cruiser 700 has short front and rear overhangs and flared rear fenders and has been compared to the L663 Land Rover Defender.[6] It uses traditional door handles, as well as large headlights and taillights.[7] The daytime running lights of the concept version are designed to look like angry eyes and were inspired by dancing dragons.[8]
Features
The Cruiser 700 has a large central touchscreen and a digital instrument cluster using a liquid crystal display. It does not use a heads-up display. A rear-mounted spare tire is present on the tailgate. The concept version also features a small storage container mounted towards the back of the car on the passenger side and a ladder on the driver's side.[9] It also features a LiDAR sensor on the roof and has a swimming mode that enables it to cross small bodies of water at 8.5 km/h (5.3 mph).[7]
Powertrain
The Cruiser 700 uses a plug-in hybrid system and its battery is expected to have a capacity of at least 50 kWh.[9] It uses a tri-motor, all-wheel-drive system, an AI chassis that can support functions such as U-turning, wading detection, and driving with punctured tires. It also has a wading depth of 800 mm (31 in) and is equipped with Geely's EEA 4.0 electronic architecture.[1][10]
