What Happened
Commercial availability began with six variants spanning between 169,800 yuan ($26,800) and 369,800 yuan ($55,200). Geely confirmed that customer orders surpassed the 10,000 mark during the opening twelve minutes after sales went live.

- 47.14 kWh LFP
Underpinning the 5,085 mm sport-utility is Geely's electrified rough-terrain structure boasting 44,000 N·m/deg of torsional rigidity. Top-tier three-motor configurations produce 830 kW of propulsion, while a 47.14 kWh pack yields 305 km of electric motoring before the internal combustion engine engages.
Water traversal ratings reach 800 mm alongside 233 mm of ground clearance and active height-adjusting air suspension. Sensor arrays include a roof lidar unit coupled to Thor computing hardware for highway navigation, with international exports scheduled to begin during late 2027.
Why this matters
The new model marks Geely's entrance into the electrified rough-terrain market to compete directly with BYD's Fang Cheng Bao division. A planned overseas rollout starting in late 2027 will test whether Chinese off-road plug-in hybrids can establish a foothold in European showrooms.
