The Geely Galaxy Starship 7 (Chinese: 吉利银河星舰7; pinyin: Jílì Yínhé Xīngjiàn 7) is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Geely Auto under the Geely Galaxy product line.

The model was first introduced in October 2024 as a plug-in hybrid model called the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i and went on production in the following month. It is the first vehicle under the "Starship" (星舰; Xīngjiàn) series, and the first vehicle to utilize the NordThor EM-i 2.0 plug-in hybrid powertrain. In 2025, Geely will introduce a battery electric model called the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EV.[6]

The plug-in hybrid version is sold outside China as the Geely EX5 EM-i in most countries, the Geely E5 EM-i in South Africa, and the Geely Starray EM-i in Australia, Indonesia and Spain, reusing the Starray nameplate from the export model of the Geely Boyue L.[7]

Proton, which has been a subsidiary of Geely since 2017, also marketed and sold the vehicle as the Proton eMas 7 PHEV (stylised as e.MAS 7 PHEV) in Malaysia as the brand's first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.[8]

Overview

Rear view

The vehicle was first introduced by Geely Galaxy with a set of images on 22 October 2024.[9] The model started pre-sales on 8 November 2024. Its styling, including some body panels, largely mirrored the Geely EX5, both sharing the same Global Intelligent New Energy Architecture (GEA) vehicle platform. The vehicle adopts the second-generation NordThor 2.0 powertrain, badged as EM-i, became the first vehicle to use the powertrain.[10]

The EM-i system employs a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine designed with modifications to enhance air swirl within the combustion chamber, achieving a reported thermal efficiency of 46.5%, slightly ahead of BYD's DM-i 5.0 plug-in hybrid powertrain. The engine delivers an output of 111 PS (109 hp; 82 kW) and 136 N⋅m (13.9 kg⋅m; 100 lb⋅ft) of torque. This engine is paired with an 11-to-1 electrified dedicated hybrid transmission (E-DHT) that includes both the P1 integrated starter-generator and the P3 drive motor, generating a combined output of 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) and 262 N⋅m (26.7 kg⋅m; 193 lb⋅ft) of torque. The vehicle is capable of accelerating from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 7.5 seconds.[11]

The EM-i version offers two Aegis Short Blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery options: an 8.5 kWh battery with an all-electric range of 55 km (34 mi) on the CLTC cycle and a larger 19.09 kWh battery providing up to 120 km (75 mi) of electric range. Combined with a 51-litre fuel tank and the petrol engine, the total driving range reaches up to 1,420 km (882 mi), with fuel consumption rated at 3.75 l/100 km (27 km/l; 63 mpg‑US).[12]

The EM-i version is also equipped with DC fast charging capabilities with a maximum input rate of approximately 36 kW. According to Geely, charging the battery from 30% to 80% takes 20 minutes. Additionally, the model features a vehicle-to-load (V2L) function.[13]

The software of the vehicle adopts the Flyme Auto car operating system and the Flyme Sound audio system developed in conjunction with Meizu, which is owned by Geely.[14]
