Geely Galaxy New Mid-Large EV Opens Global Naming Contest: 4,999 mm Fastback With Lidar

Geely Galaxy (Geely’s New Energy mainstream sub-brand) officially opened a global naming contest for its upcoming all-new mid-to-large electric flagship on June 12, 2026. Submissions close on June 16, 2026. The car had already been declared with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) in May, confirming a 4,999 mm-long pure-electric fastback sedan with an electrically deployed rear spoiler and a roof-mounted lidar.

What We Know About the Geely Galaxy Mid-Large Fastback

Body and Dimensions

• Length: 4,999 mm — squarely in the mid-large/D-segment EV class alongside Xpeng P7+, BYD Seal, Zeekr 007
• Body style: four-door fastback sedan with sloping roofline and integrated coupé silhouette
• Active aerodynamics: electrically deployed rear spoiler that adjusts at speed for drag and downforce
• Sensors: roof-mounted lidar for high-tier advanced driver-assistance functions

The fastback profile and active rear wing point at a coefficient of drag (Cd) target in the 0.20 range — competitive with the segment’s aerodynamic leaders.

Powertrain Expectations

The MIIT filing confirms a pure-electric drivetrain. Although final battery capacity and motor outputs have not been published, the 4,999 mm-class Galaxy flagship is expected to ride on Geely’s GEA Architecture with options likely covering:

• Single-motor RWD entry trims around 200–250 kW for a CLTC range north of 700 km
• Dual-motor AWD top trims approaching 400–500 kW combined output
• 800 V high-voltage architecture supporting 4C/5C ultra-fast charging
• Battery capacities in the 80–100 kWh class

What the Global Naming Contest Signals

By opening the name vote internationally rather than only inside China, Geely Galaxy is signalling its intent to take this fastback overseas — a pattern Geely has followed with EX5 / Starshine 7 globalisation, Lynk & Co Europe, and Polestar. Globally pronounceable names are commercially valuable for Geely’s planned EU, ASEAN, Latin America and Middle East rollouts.

Positioning Against the Segment

At 4,999 mm, the upcoming Galaxy fastback will compete most directly with the Zeekr 007 (also Geely group, more premium), Xpeng P7+, BYD Seal, Avatr 12, Tesla Model 3 / Model S and IM L6 / IM L7. The Galaxy brand strategy — value-oriented but technology-rich — implies starting prices likely in the RMB 180,000–250,000 band (USD 24,800–34,500; USD ≈ RMB 7.25) with top trims pushing higher.

Launch Timeline Expectations

With the MIIT declaration filed in May 2026 and the naming contest ending June 16, 2026, expect:

• Official name reveal: late June / early July 2026
• Static / dynamic preview events: August–September 2026
• Pre-orders and pricing reveal: Q4 2026
• First customer deliveries: late 2026 to Q1 2027
