Geely Drops the E-Series Codename: Galaxy TT Confirmed as a Snapdragon 8397, Huawei ADS 4.1 C-Class AI Sedan

Geely has officially named its all-new C-class AI sport sedan the Galaxy TT, ending months of speculation around the prior Galaxy E8 codename. The June 17, 2026 naming reveal also locked the technical headline package: three CATL battery options across four CLTC range trims, an 800 V architecture, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8397 cockpit chip, and Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 4.1 driving suite paired with a roof-mounted 896-line LiDAR. The TT will be the most ambitious technology showcase Geely has staged since the Zeekr 001 launch.

The naming decision is itself strategic. The previous Galaxy E-numbered series had been heavily discounted across 2025 promotional campaigns and was drifting toward commodity positioning. By stepping outside the E-series, Geely sources told Autohome the brand wants to re-establish premium intent — TT positions the car as an “AI sport fastback” that draws on hot-hatch dynamic vocabulary instead of cost-down sedan codes.

Three Pack Sizes, Four Range Trims and a 480 kW Charge Curve

The TT runs three CATL pack sizes — 52.5 kWh entry, 63.8 kWh mid and 75.2 kWh long-range — and Geely has built four CLTC range trims out of them: 540 km, 640 km, 650 km and 725 km. The mid pack covers two trims by varying motor and tire size; the 75.2 kWh pack delivers the 725-km hero number. Powertrain options run a 333 hp (245 kW) rear-wheel-drive single motor and a 578 hp (425 kW) dual-motor four-wheel-drive layout with a quoted 4-second 0–100 km/h time on the top trim. The 800 V architecture supports 480 kW peak DC fast charging at roughly 10 to 80 percent in 18 minutes.

The body itself measures 4,999 mm long with a 2,920 mm wheelbase, a closed front grille, a roof-mounted LiDAR fairing on ADS 4.1 trims and a speed-actuated rear spoiler. Suspension is double-wishbone front, five-link rear, with adaptive damping standard from the mid grade.

Snapdragon 8397 Cockpit Plus the First Geely-Branded Huawei ADS Stack

The TT is the first Geely Holding car to ship with the Snapdragon 8397 cockpit platform, an upgrade from the 8295 that supplies most current Chinese smart cars. Qualcomm quotes 3x CPU and GPU and a 12x NPU performance lift versus the 8295 — the NPU jump being the single biggest enabler for on-device large-language-model inference, which Geely uses for the Galaxy AI voice assistant and multimodal cabin video understanding.

The car is also the first Geely-branded model to integrate Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 4.1 stack, with a 896-line LiDAR — Huawei’s highest-resolution forward sensor — plus 12 cameras, 5 mmWave radars and 12 ultrasonics. Compute is hosted on a Huawei MDC platform with about 600 TOPS effective. Supply-chain leaks indicate a launch price band of 199,800 to 309,800 RMB (about 27,500 to 42,700 USD), undercutting the BYD Han L EV and the Zeekr 007.
