The Geely Galaxy Starshine 7 (Chinese: 吉利银河星耀7; pinyin: Jílì Yínhe Xīngyào 7) is a plug-in hybrid mid-size sedan to be manufactured by Geely Auto under the Geely Galaxy marque.

Overview

On March 17, 2026, Geely Galaxy released the official picture of the Starshine 7.[1] is a mid-size sedan similar in size and design to the Starshine 6, compared to which it is 52 mm (2.0 in) longer with a 96 mm (3.8 in) longer wheelbase, 29 mm (1.1 in) wider, and 15 mm (0.59 in) taller.[2] It was registered on the MIIT database in October 9 2025, however a launch date has not yet been announced.[3]

Design

In the front, the Starshine 7 uses a trapezoidal grille with vertical chrome inserts similar to the smaller Starshine 6, which has been compared to styling Mercedes-AMG models by news outlets. At the sides, traditional door handles are used.[4] The overall design is similar to the Starshine 6, however the Starshine 7 uses a continuous light strip whereas the Starshine 6's taillights are separated. The Starshine 7 will also offer rims that are between 17 and 19 inches in size.[5]

Powertrain

The Starshine 7 is equipped with Geely's Thor AI Hybrid 2.0 system, which uses a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-4 codenamed BHE15-BFN producing 110 hp (82 kW; 112 PS) and an electric motor producing 161 hp (120 kW; 163 PS) with a top speed of 190 km/h (118 mph).[2] The engine has a thermal efficiency of 47.26%,[6] allowing for CLTC fuel consumption of 2.8 L/100 km (84 mpg‑US) when the battery is fully depleted.[7] Power is supplied by a choice of two LFP battery options: 19.0kWh with a CLTC electric range rating of 115–120 km (71–75 mi), and 28.3kWh with a range of 165 km (103 mi).[8]

The all-wheel drive version has a combined power output of 418 hp (312 kW; 424 PS) and 526 N⋅m (388 lb⋅ft) of torque, allowing for a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 5.4 seconds.[6]
