A handful of patent images have emerged online that appear to show the production-ready Galaxy Light electric sedan set to be produced by Geely. The Chinese car manufacturer launched its new Galaxy brand of eco-friendly vehicles in January. The first vehicle set to hit the market will be the PHEV L7 SUV but Geely also unveiled a sleek sedan concept dubbed the Galaxy Light. This sedan now appears to be closer to production than we had thought after photos of it emerged as part of a filing made with the European Union Intellectual Property Office.
Similarities between the Geely concept and
the production model are visible from every angle. Like the concept, the
production model has a thin set of headlights that sit above pronounced and
angular air intakes. A look at the doors shows that they too are very similar
to the concept and have almost identical lines and creases.
Meanwhile, we can see that the Galaxy
Light sedan’s rear end is just like that of the concept and has thin LED
taillights and a light bar. The most obvious change is the slightly different
proportions. The production model appears shorter than the concept but looks to
sit a little higher. In addition, the front axle of the concept has been pushed
closer to the cabin, resulting in a longer front overhang and a shorter
wheelbase. The addition of a long rear overhang adds to the somewhat-odd shape
of the sedan.
Few technical specifications are known
about Geely’s upcoming Galaxy Light sedan but the Polestar Forum suggests it
could be priced around the same mark as the Polestar 2. What we know for sure
is that Galaxy models from Geely will be based on the same E-CMA platform as
the likes of the Polestar 2 and various Lynk & Co models. Geely has also
confirmed they will use a new Aegis battery system that’s designed to protect
the cells against fires during a crash.
