Geely Galaxy TT Launch Set for September 10 in China

Geely Auto's (HKEX: 0175) Galaxy brand will officially launch the all-electric Geely Galaxy TT sedan on September 10 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. Multiple Chinese automotive media outlets, including Auto Home, reported the plan on Wednesday, while Geely Galaxy's official social media channels had yet to announce the information. The model began pre-sales on August 13, with three rear-wheel-drive variants priced from 145,900 yuan ($21,520) to 169,900 yuan. Geely Galaxy said on August 28 that pre-orders had surpassed 20,000 units, highlighting strong initial interest ahead of the formal launch.

Pricing, Variants and Performance

The higher-end all-wheel-drive TT Ultra previously began pre-sales on July 21 at 209,800 yuan, with the initial release limited to 999 units. The sedan is positioned as a sporty, mid-to-large all-electric model measuring 4,999 millimeters in length, 1,919 millimeters in width and 1,479 millimeters in height, with a 2,920-millimeter wheelbase. Its fastback design contributes to a drag coefficient as low as 0.22, while a three-position adjustable active electric rear spoiler can generate 508 newtons of downforce at its maximum 22.5-degree angle.

The rear-wheel-drive variants use a single motor with a maximum output of 245 kW (333 hp), while the TT Ultra employs a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing a combined 425 kW. The all-wheel-drive version can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.8 seconds. Rear-wheel-drive versions provide CLTC ranges of 540 kilometers and 640 kilometers, with corresponding 0-to-100-km/h acceleration times of 7.2 seconds and 6.5 seconds. These specifications position the lineup toward buyers seeking a combination of long driving range, rapid acceleration and sporty performance.

Battery Technology and Fast Charging

CATL (HKEX: 3750) custom-developed and supplies the Shenxing TT battery for the model. All variants use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry and debut NP 3.0 (No Propagation 3.0) thermal runaway protection technology. The battery configuration is paired with an 800-volt high-voltage platform and a 6C charging rate across the lineup. Geely said the system can add more than 400 kilometers of driving range with 11 minutes of charging, making charging speed a central part of the vehicle's technology proposition.

Smart Driving and Connected Cockpit Features

The vehicle is equipped with one LiDAR unit and the J6M chip from Horizon Robotics (HKEX: 9660), together with a choice of the Geely Afari Smart Driving (G-ASD) H7 or H5 driver-assistance system. Its cockpit runs the second-generation Flyme Auto system and includes a 10.2-inch instrument cluster, a 15.4-inch central display and a 25.6-inch augmented-reality head-up display. Other equipment includes a 23-speaker audio system and a 1.97-square-meter panoramic glass roof, combining driver-assistance hardware with a technology-focused cabin experience.

Competitive Position in China's Electric Sedan Market

The sedan will compete with the Xiaomi SU7 and Xpeng P7+ for younger buyers in China's roughly 200,000-yuan all-electric sedan market. The launch is particularly important to Geely Auto's domestic business because the company's August sales growth was driven overwhelmingly by overseas markets. Total sales increased 8.01% year-over-year to 270,194 vehicles, the company's highest monthly level of the year at that point, while export volumes reached a record level for the eighth consecutive month.

The company's monthly sales data show a substantial increase in overall volumes through the first eight months of 2026 compared with the corresponding periods in 2024 and 2025. August sales reached 270,194 vehicles, compared with 250,167 in August 2025 and 181,229 in August 2024. September through December 2026 figures were not available in the supplied data, so those cells remain blank rather than being estimated. The monthly progression provides context for the importance of sustaining domestic demand as the company continues expanding its overseas business.

Domestic Sales Challenge and Galaxy Growth

Geely exported 110,094 vehicles in August, up 205% year-over-year and accounting for 41% of total sales, marking an eighth consecutive monthly record. Based on the supplied figures, that implies domestic sales of 160,100 vehicles, down about 25% year-over-year. China therefore remains a critical market for the company's domestic performance, particularly as overseas growth becomes an increasingly important contributor to overall volume. The new sedan is intended to strengthen Geely's presence in a competitive domestic electric-car segment where established and emerging brands are targeting younger consumers.

Galaxy remains a major pillar of Geely's domestic sales, delivering 119,115 vehicles in August, up 7.63% year-over-year and 10.50% from July. The August result was the brand's strongest monthly figure in the supplied 2026 data and followed 108,206 deliveries in June and 107,797 in July. The upcoming launch adds another electric sedan to the brand's portfolio at a price point that overlaps with a competitive group of Chinese electric vehicles. Its combination of performance, charging capability, battery technology and driver-assistance features is intended to support continued growth for the Galaxy brand.

Galaxy's sales data show that the brand's monthly volume has expanded substantially from 2024 levels, although the 2026 pattern has varied by month. August deliveries reached 119,115 vehicles, compared with 110,666 in August 2025 and 40,598 in August 2024. The data also show a June 2026 increase to 108,206 units, followed by 107,797 units in July and 119,115 units in August. September through December 2026 figures were not supplied, so no values have been added for those months. The figures provide a direct view of the brand's sales trajectory before the new sedan's launch.
