Geely Galaxy TT: an 800V fastback with 725 km range and clear Xiaomi SU7 vibes
The new electric fastback pairs an 800V platform, up to 725 km CLTC and 425 kW to take on the Xiaomi SU7, Zeekr 007 and BYD Seal. China launch is set for August 2026.
Geely Galaxy TT is entering the noisiest corner of China's EV market — big electric fastbacks, where buyers already line the newcomer up not only against the Tesla Model 3 but also the Xiaomi SU7. The resemblance to the SU7 was one of the first things people latched onto, yet Geely isn't betting on the silhouette alone: the Galaxy TT packs an 800-volt architecture, up to 725 km of CLTC range and a dual-motor version with a combined 425 kW, or about 578 hp.
The model premiered in Shanghai and is due to reach the Chinese market in August 2026. In size it is an almost five-metre car: 4999 mm long, 1919 mm wide and 1479 mm tall, with a 2920 mm wheelbase. The low roof, long body and 1.3 width-to-height ratio all work for aerodynamics and visually place the Galaxy TT closer to the Xiaomi SU7, Zeekr 007, XPeng P7 and BYD Seal than to a classic sedan.
The engineering is built around an 800-volt platform and CATL batteries. Three capacities are on the table: 52.4, 63.8 and 75.2 kWh. Depending on the version, range comes to 540, 640, 650 or 725 km on China's CLTC cycle. It is worth not confusing those figures with real winter mileage: in everyday use, especially on the motorway and in cold weather, the result will be lower.
The base version gets rear-wheel drive and a single Wuxi Xingqu Power Technology motor rated at 245 kW, or roughly 333 hp. The top trim runs two motors and all-wheel drive for a combined 425 kW. For a car aimed at younger buyers that is the right mix: brisk acceleration, a sporty driving position and numbers that are easy to stack up against the Xiaomi SU7.
Geely put real effort into the aerodynamics and the visual drama. Up front sit Floating Star-Diamond headlights and a three-section lower air intake; at the back there is an active electronic spoiler with three positions. At a 22.5° opening angle it generates up to 508 N of downforce. The rear Star-Diamond lights carry 108 LEDs, and eight body colours are on offer, including Fjord Blue, Olive Green and Sunny Noon Blue.
The cabin follows the Chinese “car as gadget” logic too. Inside there are four trim options, including Mellow Red and Rock Black, a Flyme Auto 2nd Gen infotainment system and a trio of instrument screen, central display and a wide AR-HUD. Sound is handled by three dedicated acoustic zones with a nod to traditional Chinese motifs.
Practicality was not forgotten: a 110-litre front trunk, a 475-litre rear compartment plus a 53-litre lower niche, a pull-out 12-litre glovebox, an 8.5-litre box under the rear seat and a 5.2-litre compartment with cooling and heating. The cabin also has magnetic and threaded mounts for accessories — already an attempt to slot into a lifestyle scenario rather than simply sell “another EV”.
Driver assistance depends on the trim: the standard Geely package or an advanced system with a roof-mounted lidar. That matters for positioning, because buyers in this class in China already treat lidar, self-driving features and polished software as the norm rather than expensive exotica.
In import markets a car like this would land in the same niche as the Zeekr 007, BYD Seal, Avatr 12 and Xiaomi SU7, but the decisive factor will not be 725 km on the CLTC cycle — it will be the final price after shipping, the warranty, access to updates and electronics servicing. Chinese fastbacks look like a bargain on paper, yet without clear service support they turn into an expensive experiment.
The Geely Galaxy TT clearly wants to be more than just a Xiaomi SU7 look-alike. But it is precisely the comparison with Xiaomi that will decide its fate: buyers will look not at the shape of the headlights but at price, software and charging, and at how much they trust the brand after the first months on sale.
