Known as the Battleship 700 in China, the Galaxy Cruiser 700 is still to be confirmed for the South African market.
Geely has unveiled pricing for its Galaxy Cruiser 700, an off-road capable electric vehicle, ahead of its launch next month in China. The vehicle, part of the brand's Galaxy sub-brand, is fitted with advanced off-road technology, including an AI-developed all-wheel drive system that can switch between rear-wheel, all-wheel, and front-wheel drive while driving. The vehicle boasts a crab walking function, rear-wheel steering, and an adaptive active hydraulic suspension with adaptive dampers.
The Galaxy Cruiser 700 has a ground clearance of up to 313 mm, which increases to 313 mm with the suspension in its highest setting. It is also capable of submerged in water up to 800 mm with its amphibious escape floating mode and can travel at a rate of 7 km/h with two propellers located at the back.

The vehicle comes in five variants, with pricing starting from 199,800 yuan for the entry-level two-wheel drive Explorer and going up to 269,800 yuan for the top-of-the-line Summit. The total range of the vehicle is 1,770 km with the hybrid system, 1,520 km with the tri-motor all-wheel drive, and 270 km in electric-only mode for the top variant. The vehicle will be available for purchase starting October 10 in China, but there is no confirmation yet of its availability in South Africa.
