When I saw a 100,000-level electric hybrid sedan, I thought it would just meet basic needs. After a day of test driving in city traffic and on highways, the Geely Galaxy Star 6 changed my mind. It impressed me with its driving quality and comfort.
The Starry 6 combines aesthetics and practicality. The new car features a “Galaxy Star Waterfall” grille for a distinctive front. Its design intertwines 29 “waterfall” lines and 49 “flying” lines. This blend highlights the technology of new energy vehicles and the stability of fuel cars. The design resembles that of luxury models, making it look expensive at first glance.
The side of the car features clear lines that define its strong body shape. Its dimensions are 4806 mm long, 1886 mm wide, and 1490 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2756 mm. The new two-tone 17-inch multi-spoke wheels pair with 215/55 R17 tires. The overall look exudes sportiness.
The rear design is simple and sharp. It uses many horizontal lines to enhance the car’s visual width. The taillights and high-mounted brake light incorporate the “rising sun” element. When illuminated at night, they show clear layers. This design combines beauty and safety.
The Starry 6 has a trunk space of 609L. It handles daily storage easily. The rear seats fold in a 4/6 ratio. This design meets various space needs.
The interior of the Xingyao 6 excels in intelligence and comfort. It features a 14.6-inch central control screen and a 10.25-inch instrument panel, forming a dual-screen matrix. The built-in Flyme Auto system supports dialect recognition and natural language understanding. The 7nm Long Eagle One chip ensures smooth operation, rivaling high-end models. The “first-class marshmallow zero-pressure seats” use a 9-layer sandwich design. They include heating and ventilation functions. With an 83.5% cabin space efficiency, rear passengers enjoy ample room.
The vehicle will feature the Qianli Haohan H3 advanced driving system. It supports L2-level driving assistance. It also includes NOA functions for city and highway driving. The system provides AEB for automatic emergency braking. It offers AES for automatic emergency avoidance. Together, these features create a comprehensive safety network.
The power system is a core advantage. The Xingyao 6 features the new generation Thor AI hybrid system 2.0. It delivers a maximum power of 82 kW. Its thermal efficiency reaches 47.26%, a top level in the industry. It maintains low energy consumption in both power generation and direct drive modes.
In the actual dynamic experience, the Xingyao 6 delivers an impressive driving feel. In standard mode, the steering is light. It offers moderate directionality. Drivers feel relaxed and comfortable. This design suits its focus on family users.
The Xingyao 6 system offers smart energy distribution. It switches to electric mode for short commutes, ensuring a smooth and quiet drive. During long trips, the engine operates at its most efficient RPM range for driving or generating power. This works with the battery to create “oil-electric synergy.”
In city driving, it feels like a pure electric vehicle. The power response and brake feel are very linear. In sport mode, the acceleration is strong and powerful, even when the throttle is fully pressed. However, it remains moderate and suits its family car nature.
Thanks to AI chassis virtual tuning, the most noticeable effect is the suppression of static acceleration and braking pitch. The Xingyao 6 maintains a very stable body posture, especially for rear passengers. The suspension performance exceeds expectations. The joint calibration by the China-Europe team delivers a solid, heavy feel. During quick lane changes or sharp turns, the suspension provides ample support, giving drivers confidence.
For family users, vehicle economy is a key factor. The Xingyao 6 shows strong competitiveness. In daily commuting, the smart mode activates. The system switches to pure electric mode based on current battery level. The cost is only 0.2 yuan (0$) per kilometer. CLTC comprehensive range reaches 1700 km. Long trips do not cause energy anxiety. A full tank and full charge easily cover intercity journeys. When low on power, fuel consumption drops to 2.8 L/100 km, significantly reducing costs. Summary: The launch of the Geely Galaxy Xingyao 6 embodies the “technology for all” concept. More users can enjoy the benefits of new energy technology at gasoline car prices. With pre-sales starting, this “five good” family sedan is set to reshape the market. It will likely become the top choice for young families buying cars.
