Overview

Rear view

The Galaxy Starshine 8 is a mid-size plug-in hybrid 4-door fastback sedan and is based on the Global Energy Architecture Evo platform. Pre-sales started on April 10, 2025. The Starshine 8 officially launched on May 10, 2025.[1]

Features

The Starshine 8 gets a sunroof with an area of 1.36 m2. It also comes with the G-pilot ADAS system which uses a roof-mounted lidar, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 10 cameras and 12 ultrasonic radars. In the interior a 10.2-inch LCD instrument panel and a 15.4-inch touchscreen are present. On some trims a 25.6-inch AR-HUD is available.[2]

Powertrain

Battery electric

The battery electric version of the Galaxy Starshine 8 was first unveiled by the MIIT in August of 2025. It uses a 250 kilowatts (340 hp; 340 PS) electric motor on Rear wheels paired with lithium iron phosphate batteries of unknown capacity.[3]

Plug-in hybrid

The Starshine 8 uses both the Thor EM-i and the Thor EM-P plug-in hybrid systems. Unlike the Lynk & Co 10 and Galaxy M9, which use an all-wheel-drive layout, the Starshine 8 is only available with a front-wheel-drive layout. The EM-i models get a 1.5 liter naturally aspirated inline 4 engine making 110 horsepower combined with a front motor making 211 horsepower. The EM-P models use a turbocharged inline 4 of the same capacity making 161 horsepower combined with a front motor making 215 horsepower. Two batteries are available, a 8.5 kWh battery and an 18.4 kWh battery. Both batteries are LFP batteries. The 8.5 kWh battery is only available with the EM-i models.[4] Both EM-i and EM-p models get a battery electric range of 130 kilometers, the EM-i also has an option to have a smaller battery with a 60 kilometer electric range.[5]

The total range is estimated to be from 1500 to 1600 kilometers.
