Geely Galaxy (simplified Chinese: 吉利银河; pinyin: Jílì yínhé), or simply Galaxy, is a product line under Geely Auto, which is itself a subsidiary of Zhejiang Geely Holding. Unveiled in February 2023, Geely Galaxy specializes in NEVs under Geely Auto (hybrid and electric vehicles).[1]
History[edit]
In February 2023, at a launch event in Hangzhou, China, Geely auto unveiled their new product line, named Geely Galaxy, along with a lineup of seven vehicles to be rolled out by 2025,[2] with the intention of offering upmarket NEVs that filled the gap between Geely's middle-priced Geometry series and their premium Zeekr brand.[3] Its first production model, the L7, was also unveiled at this event, as well as the Galaxy Light concept sedan. Pre-sales for Galaxy's second model, the L6, began at the Chengdu auto show in August 2023. Galaxy's third model, the E8, which bears a heavy resemblance to the Galaxy Light concept shown at the launch event,[4] was officially launched in January 2024.[5]

Plagiarism controversy[edit]
On February 28, lawyers from another Chinese automaker, Changan Automobile accused Geely of copyright infringement, sending Geely a cease-and-desist letter and alleging that the Geely Galaxy Light concept car took multiple design features from several Changan vehicles. Geely have refuted the claims and threated legal action against Changan in response to what it labelled "misinformation".[8][9]
