Geely Galaxy TT Debuts: NVIDIA Thor-Powered SEA Fastback Attacks the RMB 250K AI EV Sweet Spot

Geely Auto’s Galaxy sub-brand is stepping into the mid-large D-segment for the first time with the Galaxy TT, a battery-electric fastback sedan launching in China this week. Riding on the same SEA skateboard as the Zeekr 007 and Volvo EX30, the TT stretches 4,999 mm long on a 2,920 mm wheelbase and pairs an 800-volt architecture with NVIDIA Drive Thor compute — positioning it directly against Xiaomi SU7 and XPeng P7+ at a lower expected entry price.

Key Highlights: SEA Platform Meets 1,000 TOPS AI Cockpit

Two BEV variants have been telegraphed via MIIT filings. The Long-Range RWD single-motor version pairs a roughly 200 kW motor with an 85 kWh NMC pack for a 700-720 km CLTC range; the Performance AWD dual-motor variant lifts combined output to the 460-500 kW band and drops 0-100 km/h into the mid-3-second window on a 100 kWh pack. DC fast charging is expected to peak between 400 and 450 kW, closing the 10-80 percent window in around 15 minutes on CATL’s 5C infrastructure. Inside, the Galaxy TT is one of the earliest Chinese production vehicles to run NVIDIA Drive Thor at 1,000 TOPS, feeding a 15.4-inch 3K OLED main display, a full-windshield HUD projection, and Geely’s own Xingsuan world-model ADAS stack backed by two roof-edge solid-state LiDARs and a 4D millimeter-wave radar array.

Why It Matters for the Chinese Premium Sedan Race

Pre-launch dealer disclosures place the Galaxy TT in the RMB 239,000-329,000 window (about USD 33,000-45,300), a range that undercuts Xiaomi SU7 Max (RMB 299,900) and matches the XPeng P7+ Pro Max sweet spot while sitting distinctly below the Zeekr 007 GT (RMB 349,000). That pricing frames the Galaxy TT as the most aggressive value-per-TOPS D-segment AI EV of summer 2026, and it doubles as Geely Auto Group’s lever toward its stated 1.5-million-unit global annual target by 2028 — with Galaxy anchoring the mainstream premium tier below Zeekr.

What’s Next: Delivery Cadence and Overseas Rollout

Geely has confirmed China deliveries begin by end of July 2026 with initial monthly capacity of roughly 8,000 units at Ningbo. Southeast Asian export markets — Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia — receive the TT from Q4 2026, while European launch is scheduled for Q1 2027 with initial focus on the Netherlands, Belgium, and Norway. UK and Germany follow in Q3 2027, with overseas variants receiving revised suspension calibration and additional cabin sound insulation.
