Get ready to say goodbye to gas stations—Geely’s Galaxy A7 is going fully electric, and the details are sparking excitement (and a bit of debate) among car enthusiasts. But here’s where it gets controversial: while the all-electric sedan promises a greener future, some are already questioning whether it can live up to the hype of its plug-in hybrid predecessor. Let’s dive in.
Published on February 7, 2026, at 5:50 AM CET, Geely officially registered the pure-electric Galaxy A7 with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), marking a bold step into the battery-electric vehicle (BEV) segment. This isn’t just a minor tweak—it’s a full-fledged electric transformation, complete with a 160 kW single-motor powertrain. And this is the part most people miss: despite the shift to electric, the wheelbase remains unchanged at 2845 mm, identical to the hybrid version. But don’t let that fool you—the electric A7 is longer and taller, measuring 4935 mm in length and 1500 mm in height, compared to the hybrid’s 4918 mm and 1495 mm, respectively.
The exterior design has been refreshed with a closed front grille—a signature touch for electric vehicles—and vertical decorative elements near the fog lamps, likely designed to optimize airflow. The charging port is conveniently located on the right front fender, adding a practical touch to the sleek design. At the rear, the full-width tail lights have been updated, giving the electric A7 a distinct look from its hybrid sibling. However, the registration images leave us guessing about the interior design and battery pack capacity, which Geely has yet to disclose.
Under the hood—or rather, beneath the floor—the electric A7 packs a lithium-iron-phosphate battery, though specifics on capacity and range remain a mystery. Wheel options include 215/60 R17 and 225/55 R18 sizes, catering to different preferences. Here’s the bold question: Can the electric A7 match the hybrid’s impressive 2100+ km range? Only time will tell.
For context, the plug-in hybrid Galaxy A7, launched in 2025, is built on Geely’s GEA global intelligent new energy architecture, combining a 1.5-liter engine with an electric motor. Its dimensions are slightly smaller, but the wheelbase is identical, suggesting the electric version prioritizes space and efficiency. Geely’s move to expand the A7 lineup into the BEV segment is a clear signal of its commitment to electrification, but no official launch date, pricing, or production timeline has been announced.
Controversial interpretation alert: Some critics argue that without detailed battery and range specs, it’s too early to crown the electric A7 as a game-changer. What do you think? Is Geely’s all-electric sedan a step forward or just catching up? Let us know in the comments!
This regulatory confirmation is one of the first public technical disclosures for the electric A7, beating any formal announcement from Geely.
