Get ready to say goodbye to gas stations—Geely’s Galaxy A7 is going fully electric, and the details are sparking excitement (and a bit of debate) among car enthusiasts. But here’s where it gets controversial: while the electric version promises a greener future, some are already questioning whether it can match the hybrid’s impressive 2,100 km range. Let’s dive into what we know so far.
Published on February 7, 2026, at 5:50 AM CET, the official filing with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) confirms that the Galaxy A7 EV is no longer just a rumor. This marks Geely’s bold entry into the all-electric sedan market, with a 160 kW single-motor powertrain that’s designed to compete in the growing EV segment. And this is the part most people miss: despite its electric makeover, the A7 EV retains the same wheelbase as its hybrid sibling, measuring 2,845 mm, while growing slightly in length (4,935 mm) and height (1,500 mm).
The exterior updates are subtle yet functional. A closed-front grille and vertical fog-lamp accents hint at improved aerodynamics, while the charging port is conveniently located on the right front fender. The rear design gets a modern twist with a full-width taillight, though the interior and battery specifics remain under wraps—leaving plenty of room for speculation.
Here’s the kicker: Geely hasn’t revealed the battery capacity, range, or pricing yet, which has sparked a heated debate among EV fans. Will it outperform rivals like Tesla or BYD? Or will it focus on affordability? The use of a lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery suggests a cost-effective approach, but only time will tell.
For context, the plug-in hybrid Galaxy A7, launched in 2025, boasts Geely’s GEA architecture and a 1.5-liter engine paired with an electric motor. Its dimensions are nearly identical, except for being slightly shorter (4,918 mm) and lower (1,495 mm). The electric version’s larger size could hint at additional features or battery placement, but details are scarce.
What’s clear is Geely’s ambition to expand the Galaxy A7 lineup into the EV space. But here’s a thought-provoking question: With no official launch date or specs announced, is Geely playing it safe, or are they holding back a game-changing surprise? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
