The 2026 Geely Galaxy A7 plug-in hybrid enters the global midsize sedan segment with a strategic mix of range, price, and tech. Built on the upgraded e-CMA platform, the Galaxy A7 is engineered for global homologation, featuring long-range plug-in capability and competitive pricing. With a CLTC-certified driving range of 2,100 km (1,305 miles) and an electric-only range of 149 km (92.5 miles), Geely positions the Galaxy A7 as the most efficient plug-in hybrid in its class.
EM-P Super Hybrid 2.0 Powertrain Maximizes Efficiency
The Galaxy A7 is powered by Geely’s second-generation EM-P Super Hybrid 2.0 system, combining a turbocharged combustion engine with two electric motors and a 3-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT Pro). This setup delivers quick acceleration, extended EV range, and optimized fuel economy through a highly integrated hybrid architecture that allows seamless power delivery under all conditions.
Powertrain Breakdown
- 1.5L turbocharged I4 gasoline engine as primary power unit
- Dual-motor system: one drive motor and one generator motor
- 3-speed DHT Pro transmission with intelligent shift control
- 18.7-kWh LFP battery with long lifecycle and thermal stability

Charging Capabilities and Battery Technology
The Galaxy A7 features a high-efficiency 18.7-kWh lithium iron phosphate battery that balances energy density with long service life and thermal safety. It supports 40-kW DC fast charging, recharging from 30% to 80% in under 30 minutes. An integrated 6.6-kW AC charger enables overnight home charging using standard residential outlets. The system supports multiple regenerative braking levels and automatic energy optimization during deceleration and coasting phases.
AI-Driven Drive Modes and Energy Management
Geely’s Smart Energy Management System leverages AI-based learning to adapt drive modes based on driving conditions, terrain, and energy reserves. The vehicle switches between three modes:
- EV Mode: Pure electric driving up to 149 km (92.5 miles)
- Hybrid Mode: Balances engine and motor output for extended range
- Engine Direct Drive: Uses engine for high-speed cruising to conserve battery
This AI logic reduces fuel use during city traffic and ensures full battery deployment during climbs or overtaking scenarios. The Galaxy A7’s predictive algorithm improves real-world efficiency beyond lab-cycle estimates.
Aerodynamic Exterior with Premium Styling
The Galaxy A7 fastback features a 0.215 drag coefficient, achieved through precision shaping and active aero elements. Key design elements include:
- Frameless doors and pop-out flush handles
- Split matrix LED headlights and animated rear light bar
- Wind-cheating fastback roofline with shortened rear overhang
- Hidden rear wiper and low-rolling resistance tires
The body is optimized using CFD simulations and wind tunnel testing, contributing directly to the Galaxy A7’s extended highway range.
Interior Design: Minimalism Meets Functionality
The cabin blends digital integration with tactile functionality, targeting both tech-focused and traditional drivers. The centerpiece is a 15.4-inch central touchscreen running Geely’s Galaxy OS, supported by a high-speed Snapdragon 8155 processor. A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and AR HUD (45 inches virtual) provide essential driving data with minimal distraction.
Interior Features
- Physical rotary knobs for HVAC controls
- AI voice assistant for media, navigation, and windows
- Gesture and facial recognition for user profiles
- Zero-pressure seats with Nappa leather and memory presets
