Geely previewed the new Galaxy TT sedan a few weeks ago and made no secret of what it was aiming at, which is the Xiaomi SU7. Now comes the part that actually matters, the powertrain underneath it, built with help from InfiMotion, one of Geely Auto Group’s electric drivetrain technology partners.

Referred to by Geely as its 16-in-1 Intelligent E-Drive system, it consolidates a long list of key electric drive hardware into a single unit weighing 165 lbs (75 kg). Tucked inside are the motor, the DC-to-DC converter, the on-board charger, the vehicle control unit, the motor controller, and the high-voltage battery management systems.

The housing is made of lightweight, strong magnesium. Thanks to the unit’s incredibly low weight, electrical losses have been kept to a minimum. In fact, Geely says the system has been shown to achieve an efficiency rating of 93.8 percent. While this is based on the notoriously generous CLTC cycle, it is among the most efficient electric powertrains on the planet.

High Efficiency

What does this mean for owners? Geely says the Galaxy TT averaged just 8.2 kWh/100 km during an efficiency run around China’s Qinghai Lake, taking a Guinness World Record for the lowest energy consumption on a circumnavigation of the lake by a production battery-electric sedan.

The Galaxy TT will be offered with three battery packs. The first is a 52.4 kWh unit; the mid-tier model has a 63.8 kWh pack, and the range-topper uses a 75.2 kWh battery. All three work alongside an 800-volt electrical architecture, and the EV’s range will extend up to 450 miles (725 km).

You’ll no doubt notice that for a vehicle of this size, these battery packs are quite small. If you can make a car that’s incredibly efficient, then there’s obviously no need to install a big and heavy battery pack. Geely has yet to announce full powertrain details for the entire range, but notes that an all-wheel-drive, twin-motor version will deliver up to 425 kW, allowing the Galaxy TT to hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.8 seconds.

Geely also says the system relies on AI-assisted torque management for quicker responses and more precise power delivery, while a 54-channel directional cooling setup can cut peak motor temperatures by as much as 15°C (27°F) during sustained high-load driving.

A Second Record, Sideways

Separately, the Galaxy TT picked up a second Guinness World Records title, this one for the longest continuous twin-vehicle drift on a wet surface by electric vehicles, covering more than 46 km (28.6 miles). The demonstration was meant to prove out torque response, thermal management, and performance consistency under sustained high-load conditions.

Not long after MG unveiled its new electric sedan, conceived as a rival to the Xiaomi SU7, China’s best-selling electric sedan above 200,000 yuan (about $29,000), and a cut-price alternative to the Porsche Taycan, Geely has fired back with its own low-slung, sleek electric sports saloon. Called the Galaxy TT, it goes on sale next month, though prices have yet to be announced.

Like so many other new electric sedans emerging from China, the Galaxy TT adopts an aerodynamic shape to minimize drag and increase the driving range. It has all the traits of its competition, including a smooth front fascia with LED headlights, blacked-out air vents, and a LiDAR unit mounted above the windshield.

The sides are similarly smooth with flush door handles, compact wing mirrors, and curvaceous rear quarter panels. Found at the rear are LED taillights, a light bar, and little else of note, to be frank. The Galaxy TT measures 196.8 inches (4,999 mm) long, 75.5 inches (1,919 mm) wide, and stands 58.2 inches (1,479 mm) tall with a 114.9-inch (2,920 mm) wheelbase.

Three Batteries, Two Motors

Geely

Underpinning the car is an 800-volt electrical architecture and three available battery packs. The base option has a 52.4 kWh pack, while the mid-tier model uses a 63.8 kWh battery and the flagship version rocks a 75.2 kWh battery. The driving range will vary significantly depending on the battery, ranging from 335 miles (540 km) to 450 miles (725 km) under the notoriously generous CLTC testing cycle.

Two motor options will be available. Base models will feature a rear-mounted electric motor producing 329 hp, while dual-motor, all-wheel-drive models will produce a combined 570 hp. While that’s not enough to rival something like the SU7 Ultra, those figures are sufficient to compete with mid-tier Xiaomi models.

Early images released of the Galaxy TT’s interior show that, like the exterior, it is fairly typical of a Chinese EV. For example, there’s a large central infotainment screen, a digital instrument cluster, and a sporty three-spoke steering wheel. It also includes dual wireless smartphone chargers, circular air vents, and a small analog clock for a somewhat retro vibe.

Zeekr, the upmarket arm of the Geely Group, genuinely believes its cars stand shoulder to shoulder with the best from Germany’s premium brands. The man running Zeekr in Europe staked that claim in a recent interview, even though the company’s European operations have been up and running for barely six month,

That executive is Lothar Schupet, who logged 23 years at BMW before crossing over. Under him, Zeekr has rolled out a handful of models on European roads: the entry-level Zeekr X, the larger 7X SUV, the 001 estate, and the new 7GT. The brand is courting fleet buyers ahead of private ones for the moment, mostly because it currently has no dealership network anywhere in the region yet.

“I am firmly convinced that our products impress with quality and performance,” Schupet told Car-Editors. “In my opinion, we are on par with all premium manufacturers. That’s the basic premise.”

Based on our experience with the Zeekr 7X earlier this year, we can understand Schupet’s confidence. Jacked-packed with technology, the 7X feels every bit as premium as something from BMW or Audi, and yet costs significantly less.

Dealerships Are Coming

During the same interview, Schupet added that Zeekr’s initial goal in Europe was to reach as many business customers as possible, particularly those who had used vehicles from other premium brands in their fleets. As this has happened, interest from private customers has steadily grown. Although Zeekr doesn’t have a dealership network, it has established several test-drive centers and has begun accepting “a few hundred” orders from private buyers.

Zeekr hopes to have sales locations across five metropolitan areas in Germany by the end of this year, including Hamburg, Düsseldorf/Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Munich, and perhaps also Berlin. These will join the 10 existing test-drive centers across the country.

Asked which existing dealers Zeekr hopes to bring into its network, Schupet said they’re aiming directly at the premium segment.

“Of course, we are specifically targeting dealers in the premium segment. These include the traditional German brands BMW, Audi, and Mercedes. But also Jaguar and Maserati dealerships that may currently have spare capacity and are open to something new. As a Geely Group brand, we are naturally also looking at Volvo and Polestar dealerships too,” he said.

No European Production, For Now

Asked if Zeekr is interested in building its electric cars in Europe, Schupet acknowledged it’s an option, but said there’s no need to do so at this stage.

“Strategically, there is the option of producing locally,” he said. “This has certain advantages, but also carries risks. The speed, flexibility, and agility with which things are done in China are not easy to implement in Europe. Bureaucracy also hinders many decision-making processes. While the punitive tariffs make it challenging to implement a sustainable business model with manufacturing in China… we have now found a business case that works.”
