On August 27, Geely Galaxy released the official images of its upcoming Starshine 6 plug-in hybrid sedan. The new car is expected to position below the recently launched Geely Galaxy A7, which has a price range of 81,800 to 117,800 yuan (12,300 to 17,190 USD).

For the appearance, the Geely Galaxy Starshine 6 continues to inherit the brand’s “Galaxy Ripple” design language, adopting a large polygonal grille with vertically arranged chrome trim strips, and matched with a lower grille and sharp headlights.

The rear features a layered through-type taillight design, a roof spoiler, and silver or black bumper. Other configurations include 16-inch and 17-inch rims, optional sunroof, and conventional door handles instead of the popular hidden type.

The Geely Galaxy Starshine 6 has body dimensions of 4806/1886/1490 mm (l/w/h), with a wheelbase of 2756 mm. The curb weights are 1,505 kg and 1,580 kg.

The Geely Galaxy Starshine 6 is expected to be equipped with Geely’s new generation Thor EM-i super hybrid system, which is also onboard the Geely Galaxy A7. According to the declaration information from the Chinese MIIT, the new car is powered by a 1.5L engine with a maximum power of 82 kW (110 hp) and either a 8.5 kWh or 17 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack supplied by CALB-Tech, providing a corresponding pure electric range of 50 km and 100 km (assuming under WLTC conditions), respectively. The top speed is 180 km/h.

At this time, the detailed electric motor and comprehensive cruising range info have not yet been announced officially.

For reference, the Geely Galaxy A7 is equipped with a 82 kW (110 hp) 1.5L engine and a 175 kW (235 hp) permanent magnet synchronous motor, matched with 8.5 kWh or 18.4 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, offering a CLTC range of 70 km and 150 km, respectively.
