Spied without a disguise. That is the headline. The Geely Galaxy Cruiser 700.
It rolls through China. Just sitting there. Unhidden. It’s Geely’s first attempt at a serious boxy body-on-frame beast. And the power numbers? Around 1,000 horsepower.
It sounds like marketing fluff until you see the car. Or read the specs.
Under the Hood
This thing is serious. It isn’t just a crossover dressed up in armor. It sits on a body-on-frame chassis. Real truck engineering. The heart is a hybrid setup. Petrol engine plus three electric motors. All of them screaming together to hit that one-thousand-fighp mark.
It’s based on the Galaxy Cruiser concept shown at Shanghai earlier this year. Known locally as the Zhanjian. The production version is tighter, but the DNA is the same.
It survived the cold. Tests in Northern Europe confirmed it.
“Combined power output of around 1,0,000 hp.”
What the Eye Sees
A blogger named Sugar Design snapped some shots. Mostly the back end.
You can spot the swing-out tailgate immediately. The spare wheel mounts right there on the door. It looks massive. To balance it out Geely added a streaming rear-view camera system. A sensor sits above the stop light because… well. A giant wheel blocks your view.
The side profile tells more of the story.
- Wide fenders.
- Black pillars that disappear into the paint.
- Oversized side mirrors.
It has an independent rear suspension. Rare for this class. Usually, these rigs stick with leaf springs for durability. Not here. Plus there’s an electronic-mechanical lock for the rear diff. You need it. Off-road isn’t just about horsepower.
The Front and The Future
The face is blocky. Literally.
Large headlights join at a single LED strip across the width. The hood lines sit high. It gives the impression of staring down. Traditional door handles. White roof options. And a LiDAR unit up front for whatever smart driving aids Geely decides to activate.
So, where is it going?
China gets it first. Sometime this year. Then the UK. Other foreign markets might follow. No hard dates yet.
The teaser images promised a lot. The road test photos confirm the silhouette.
But one thousand horses in a steel box is a strange thing. What do you expect from it?
