The Geely Galaxy M9 full-size plug-in hybrid SUV kicked off presales in China with a starting price of 193,800 yuan (27,040 USD). It is a six-seat family driver with a dual-chamber air suspension, up to 870 hp, and an electric range of 210 km. In the future, this model will enter overseas markets.
The M9 is a flagship model of the Geely Galaxy brand, founded in 2023. Its current model line comprises ten cars, with the Geely Xingyuan hatchback being the bestselling car in China for the first seven months of 2025 (according to China EV DataTracker). Outside China, Geely Galaxy vehicles are being sold under the Geely brand with no ties to the Galaxy series.
Geely Galaxy M9 exterior
The Geely Galaxy M9 is a mass-produced successor of the Geely Galaxy Starship concept car revealed at the Beijing Auto Show 2024. It is a large car with a “Brilliant Galaxy” LED strip in the front end joining two headlamps. The rear end of the car adopts a single taillight unit. Other features of the Geely Galaxy M9 exterior are conventional door handles, a LiDAR sensor on the roof, and multi-spoke rims.
Dimensions of the Geely Galaxy M9 are 5205/1999/1800 mm with a wheelbase of 3,030 mm. For clarity, it is 4 mm shorter than the Mercedes-Benz GLS. Geely said that the M9 has the best-in-class in-cabin space utilization rate of 88.3%. Thanks to the double-chamber air suspension, this large family driver can adjust its ground clearance by 95 mm. Another benefit of the Galaxy M9 is a continuous damping control system.
