Geely has unveiled plans to launch five new energy vehicles under its Galaxy brand in the upcoming year, 2025. This ambitious lineup will encompass two SUVs and three sedans. Among these, the highly anticipated Geely Galaxy L6 EM-i takes center stage.
This model marks a significant milestone as the first sedan to be equipped with Geely's cutting-edge next-generation Thor PHEV system, aptly named NordThor or Leishen. While the exterior of the L6 EM-i largely retains the familiar aesthetics of the existing L6 model, subtle yet noteworthy changes are evident. The sleek, hidden door handles have been replaced with conventional ones, and a discreet "EM-i" badge adorns the rear, subtly differentiating this electrified variant. The overall dimensions, including length, width, height, and wheelbase, are anticipated to remain consistent with the current model.
However, a more pronounced transformation awaits within the L6 EM-i's cabin. The interior has undergone a significant redesign, with the most notable alteration being the shift from a vertically oriented central control screen to a horizontally positioned one. This reconfiguration has streamlined the center console, now showcasing a wireless charging pad, convenient double cup holders, and a sleek rotary knob. In contrast, the distinctive double-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel maintains its presence, offering a familiar touchpoint for drivers. Furthermore, the renowned Flyme Auto smart cockpit will continue to enhance the in-car experience.
Powering the Geely Galaxy L6 EM-i is a sophisticated hybrid system, mirroring the setup found in the Galaxy L7 EM-i. This system seamlessly integrates a 110 horsepower 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with electric motors, drawing energy from lithium iron phosphate battery packs. Two battery pack capacities are available: 8.5 kWh and 19.09 kWh, delivering impressive pure electric ranges of 48 kilometers and 115 kilometers, respectively. The fuel efficiency is equally commendable, with a combined fuel consumption per 100 kilometers estimated at 3.8 liters and 3.95 liters for the respective battery capacities.
Beyond the L6 EM-i, Geely has further exciting plans in store. The company intends to expand its global reach by introducing the Galaxy Starship 7 to overseas markets in the latter half of 2025. Moreover, the company is committed to widespread adoption of its advanced NordThor PHEV system across the entire Galaxy product range, signifying a significant step forward in Geely's electrification journey.
The introduction of the L6 EM-i and the subsequent rollout of the NordThor PHEV system across the Galaxy lineup promise to solidify Geely's position as a leading player in the global automotive landscape.
