Geely Galaxy Starship 7
The Geely Galaxy Starship 7 (Chinese: 吉利银河星舰7; pinyin: Jílì Yínhé Xīngjiàn 7) is a compact SUV manufactured by Geely Auto under the Geely Galaxy product line. The model was first introduced in October 2024 as a plug-in hybrid model called the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i and went on production in the following month. It is the first vehicle under the "Starship" (星舰; Xīngjiàn) series, and the first vehicle to utilize the NordThor EM-i 2.0 plug-in hybrid powertrain. In 2025, Geely will introduce a battery electric model called the Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EV. The plug-in hybrid version is sold outside China as the Geely EX5 EM-i in most countries, the Geely E5 EM-i in South Africa, and the Geely Starray EM-i in Australia, Indonesia and Spain, reusing the Starray nameplate from the export model of the Geely Boyue L. Proton, which has been a subsidiary of Geely since 2017, also marketed and sold the vehicle as the Proton eMas 7 PHEV (stylised as e.MAS 7 PHEV) in Malaysia as the brand's first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.

Overview
The vehicle was first introduced by Geely Galaxy with a set of images on 22 October 2024. The model started pre-sales on 8 November 2024. Its styling, including some body panels, largely mirrored the Geely EX5, both sharing the same Global Intelligent New Energy Architecture (GEA) vehicle platform. The vehicle adopts the second-generation NordThor 2.0 powertrain, badged as EM-i, became the first vehicle to use the powertrain. The EM-i system employs a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine designed with modifications to enhance air swirl within the combustion chamber, achieving a reported thermal efficiency of 46.5%, slightly ahead of BYD's DM-i 5.0 plug-in hybrid powertrain. The engine delivers an output of 111 PS (109 hp; 82 kW) and 136 N⋅m (13.9 kg⋅m; 100 lb⋅ft) of torque. This engine is paired with an 11-to-1 electrified dedicated hybrid transmission (E-DHT) that includes both the P1 integrated starter-generator and the P3 drive motor, generating a combined output of 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) and 262 N⋅m (26.7 kg⋅m; 193 lb⋅ft) of torque. The vehicle is capable of accelerating from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 7.5 seconds. The EM-i version offers two Aegis Short Blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery options: an 8.5 kWh battery with an all-electric range of 55 km (34 mi) on the CLTC cycle and a larger 19.09 kWh battery providing up to 120 km (75 mi) of electric range. Combined with a 51-litre fuel tank and the petrol engine, the total driving range reaches up to 1,420 km (882 mi), with fuel consumption rated at 3.75 l/100 km (27 km/l; 63 mpg‑US). The EM-i version is also equipped with DC fast charging capabilities with a maximum input rate of approximately 36 kW. According to Geely, charging the battery from 30% to 80% takes 20 minutes. Additionally, the model features a vehic

== Markets == Asia. ==== Indonesia ==== The Starray EM-i was made available for pre-orders in Indonesia on 28 August 2025, and was launched on 29 October 2025. Locally assembled in Purwakarta, West Java, it is available in the sole variant using the 18.4 kWh battery pack. Philippines. The EX5 EM-i was launched in the Philippines on 27 March 2026, with two variants: Pro and Max, both variants use the 18.4 kWh battery pack. Thailand. The Starray EM-R made its global debut in Thailand on 13 August 2026. It is offered in two trims, Pro and Max, both using the same 18.4 kWh battery pack as the entry-level EM-i. The EM-R is Geely's first range extender (REEV) model to be sold globally, and the first REEV variant of the Starship 7. It is derived from the existing EM-i plug-in hybrid by removing the clutch that connects the 1.5-litre engine to the front wheels, so the engine functions solely as a generator rather than being able to drive the wheels directly at higher speeds as in the PHEV. Thailand classifies any vehicle driven purely by an electric motor as an EV, regardless of whether a combustion engine is present to generate that electricity. As a result, REEVs such as the Starray EM-R are subject to a 20 percent import tax rate, compared with 80 percent for combustion-engined vehicles, including PHEVs. Vietnam. The EX5 EM-i was launched in Vietnam on 27 March 2026, alongside the EX2. It is available with three variants: Pro, Max and Ultra. The Pro and Max variants use the 18.4 kWh battery pack, while the Ultra variant use the larger 29.8 kWh battery pack. Belarus. The X80 PHEV was launched in Belarus on 26 September 2025. Europe. The Starray EM-i was introduced in Europe in November 2025, starting in Poland as the first European country to debut the model. Followed by Euro
