On October 10, Geely's first new energy hardcore SUV, the Galaxy Battleship 700, officially launched globally in Hangzhou. The new vehicle is offered with three powertrain options and six variants, with a limited-time launch renewal price starting at 169,800 yuan.
For a long time, the domestic hardcore SUV segment has been trapped in an inherent dilemma: many products have the "boxy" appearance but struggle to escape four major real-world contradictions in the industry: it is difficult to balance strong off-road capability with urban comfort, extreme performance conflicts with everyday economy, the high threshold of professional off-roading contradicts mass-market usage needs, and extreme expedition capability cannot be unified with all-domain safety protection. Many consumers are forced to make trade-offs: if they want hardcore traversal, they must endure bumpy and noisy urban commuting; if they pursue family comfort, they must reduce off-road capability. Relying on the GTA native new energy off-road architecture, the Galaxy Battleship 700 carries out disruptive innovation from the底层 of the architecture, directly confronting these four industry challenges and officially opening the 2.0 era of new energy hardcore SUVs.
Immersive Launch Event: Bringing an Off-Road Test Ground onto the Launch Stage
Different from the traditional new car launch format of PPT presentations and static vehicle displays, this global launch event for the Galaxy Battleship 700 broke away from conventional narration by building real off-road scenes such as deep-water channels and 100% extreme steep slopes directly at the venue, bringing the hardcore tests of laboratories and proving grounds before the audience's eyes and replacing dry parameter presentations with intuitive live demonstrations.
The event fully demonstrated two signature functions: emergency floating escape in deep water and one-click intelligent extreme climbing. In a simulated deep-water condition, the vehicle triggered the emergency floating escape function to achieve escape while traveling in water, intuitively showcasing the core emergency floating escape capability unique to the Land Ark version; in a simulated 100% extreme steep slope scenario, the vehicle activated intelligent climb mode and, without complex manual operation, completed climbing on a large gradient, allowing the audience below the stage to intuitively understand hardcore performance rather than only looking at numbers on paper.
The launch event set up three narrative sections based on real user scenarios, corresponding respectively to extreme off-roading, long-distance traversal, and urban family life, moving beyond the logic of merely talking about technology and returning to ordinary people's real vehicle usage. It is worth mentioning that Geely opened the core technology patent for emergency floating escape to the entire industry for free, not only serving its own users but also hoping to drive the entire industry to improve the survival and escape capability of vehicles in drowning emergencies, demonstrating the industry responsibility of a Chinese automaker.
Another highlight of this launch event was the presence of Nicholas Tse, global spokesperson for the Galaxy Battleship 700. This is also the first time in Nicholas Tse's 29-year career that he has endorsed a Chinese automobile brand. From music and film and television creation to deep engagement in industry, Nicholas Tse's "fearless evolution" attitude of constantly breaking his own boundaries and persisting in refinement is highly aligned with the product core of the Galaxy Battleship 700: "no compromise, dare to break through." The world's only collector's vehicle personally signed by Nicholas Tse will later be housed in the Geely Automobile Museum, becoming a testament of the era to the two-way convergence between a Chinese superstar and Chinese hardcore automobiles.
Underlying Architecture Reconstruction: Innovation in Four Dimensions to Resolve the Inherent Contradictions of Hardcore SUVs
The Galaxy Battleship 700 is not a "boxy shell modified from an existing urban SUV," but a forward development based on the GTA native new energy off-road architecture, using bottom-level breakthroughs in four dimensions—architecture, power, intelligence, and safety—to resolve the industry's long-standing contradictions one by one.
Architecture Innovation: Integrated ladder frame, balancing off-road strength and urban comfort. The industry's first integrated ladder frame is fully embedded into the vehicle body structure, using hot forming + TRB innovative processes. The vehicle's torsional rigidity reaches 44,180 Nm/degree, far exceeding traditional hardcore models of the same class. Unlike the shortcomings of traditional body-on-frame vehicles, which are heavy and poor at vibration filtering, the integrated ladder frame retains the strong foundation of impact resistance and torsion resistance for hardcore off-roading while also solving the pain points of traditional ladder-frame bodies such as bumpy urban driving and encroachment on interior space. Paired with a golden chassis combination of high-precision magic carpet preview, closed dual-chamber air springs, and CCD continuously variable damping shock absorbers, the dual-chamber air springs achieve 120 mm of suspension travel adjustment, and the CCD shock absorbers adjust damping 500 times per second. The on-road moose test can reach 80 km/h, and the sand moose test reaches 72.1 km/h, achieving both strong off-road capability and smooth urban driving.
Power Innovation: Thor EM-T super hybrid, thousand-horsepower performance with long range. Equipped with the Thor EM-T super hybrid system, a 2.0T all-aluminum engine with three-motor four-wheel drive, the system's combined power is 830 kW, outputting 1,129 horsepower, with 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.95 seconds. It is equipped with two intelligent software locks + one rear axle electronically controlled mechanical hard lock. The rear axle mechanical hard lock can complete 100% locking in 0.2 seconds and can achieve a zero-speed straight climb to the top of Badain Jaran's Nisan Guo with five people fully loaded. The entire lineup is equipped with a 47.14 kWh CATL off-road dedicated battery, supporting peak 6C smart charging, with 10%-70% charging taking only 8 minutes and 25 seconds; CLTC combined range is up to 1,770 km, offering performance comparable to million-yuan-class vehicles while also solving the real-world pain points of short range and slow replenishment in hardcore models.
Intelligence Innovation: AI lowers the threshold for off-roading, bringing hardcore off-roading to the masses. Equipped with the Qianli Haohan G-ASD assisted driving H7/H5 solution, 29 perception hardware units throughout the vehicle, and the Thor-U intelligent driving chip with 700 TOPS of computing power. The AI intelligent all-terrain mode relies on dual recognition of vision + dynamics to automatically identify snow, mud, sand, and rock, and automatically switch terrain modes, allowing users with zero foundation to off-road with ease. D2D door-to-door navigated assisted driving realizes integrated driving and parking throughout the journey from home to destination, covering both urban roads and off-road scenarios with advanced intelligent driving capabilities. The FlymeAuto2 off-road version cockpit, Super Eva intelligent life form, five-screen interconnected interaction system, together with camping sentinel mode, convoy travel companion, and satellite communication services, balance urban cockpit experience with communication safety in no-network wilderness environments.
Safety Innovation: Star Armor cage body, building all-scenario, all-domain protection. Creating a 6 horizontal, 7 longitudinal, 8 ring Star Armor cage body, with the occupant compartment frame 100% using ultra-high-strength steel and hot-formed steel; 11 hidden hot gas expansion tubes with a total length of 10.6 m and 2,200 MPa form a fully covered hidden roll cage, with vehicle roof pressure resistance of 161 kN. The Shen Dun battery safety system has 11 layers of battery protection, and the battery pack's bottom ground clearance is as high as 313 mm. It also features 140 km/h high-speed tire blowout stable driving, 130 km/h AEB automatic emergency braking, and AES steering avoidance assistance, covering all operating conditions including urban roads, highways, desert wading, and drowning emergencies. It protects not only at the moment of collision, but also covers the complete chain of pre-event warning, in-event control, and post-event escape.
Dual Ultimate in City and Wilderness: Translating Hardcore Strength into Life Value for Ordinary People
Technology ultimately serves people. The Galaxy Battleship 700 proposes "dual ultimate in city and wilderness," the core of which is refusing parameter involution and translating hardcore configurations into experiences families can perceive. The cockpit has an 80.3% ultra-high space utilization rate; 10-layer cotton candy SPA seats, with 14-point hip and back massage for the driver and front passenger, and ventilation and heating for all seats; an 18.5 L front-and-rear dual-opening intelligent temperature-controlled refrigerator; a 23-speaker FlymeSound Boundless sound system; and a 1.8-meter rear flat large bed, balancing daily family use and long-distance camping and living. An 800 mm maximum wading depth, 100% gradeability, V2L external discharge, and in-vehicle satellite communication provide ample confidence for heading into mountains and seas. One vehicle simultaneously carries multiple life scenarios: urban commuting, family travel, mountain and wilderness traversal, and outdoor camping, truly achieving no compromise for family use and no compromise for off-roading.

Geely Galaxy's global users have exceeded 2.7 million. The arrival of the Galaxy Battleship 700 is not just the addition of a new vehicle with a boxy appearance, but a redefinition of the evaluation standards for new energy hardcore SUVs through its native architecture: the strength of a hardcore SUV should not be judged only by appearance, but by its comprehensive strength in architecture, performance, intelligence, safety, and comfort. When million-yuan-class architecture and configurations are brought down to the 200,000-yuan price range, it means more ordinary families can also have an all-scenario travel experience that is "dignified to drive in the city, reassuring to drive long distances, and bold to drive off-road."
