Geely has revealed the production version of the Galaxy Cruiser 700, the first off-road SUV from its Galaxy new-energy sub-brand. Known in China as the Zhanjian 700, it turns the concept shown at Auto Shanghai 2025 into a serious body-on-frame off-roader. Sales start in China before the end of 2026, with export markets to follow in 2027.
The headline number is power. The Cruiser 700 is a plug-in hybrid built around a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and three electric motors - one at the front and two at the rear joined by a hydraulic coupling - for a combined 1,113 hp. A 70 kWh battery gives up to 350 km of electric-only range on the CLTC cycle, so it can run as an EV for most journeys before the engine steps in.
Underneath sits Geely’s own NEV architecture with a body-on-frame layout. Geely claims body stiffness above 40,000 Nm per degree, double-wishbone suspension and an active hydraulic damping system. Off-road hardware covers a differential lock, a crab-walk mode, automatic obstacle avoidance and an 800 mm wading depth. The company also quotes a GVMC-assisted moose test passed at 80 km/h, a high figure for a tall, heavy SUV.
The technology package is just as ambitious. A roof-mounted LiDAR feeds the G-ASD G-Pilot H7 driver-assistance system, which runs on Nvidia’s AGX Thor chip rated at 700 TOPS and supports navigation-assisted driving on both city roads and highways. Inside, the Cruiser 700 adds a digital rear-view mirror and satellite communication for areas without a phone signal.
The styling matches the off-road brief. The angular body has round LED headlights, a full-width daytime running light bar, vertical tail lights and a side-hinged rear door carrying an external spare wheel, with roof rails on top. Prices have not been announced; Geely is expected to confirm them closer to the China on-sale date later in 2026.
