Geely Galaxy A7 EM Sets 2,608 km Guinness PHEV Range World Record

The Geely Galaxy A7 EM has secured a Guinness World Record by covering 2,608.360 kilometers on a single charge and a full tank. The new achievement exceeds the previous record of 2,369.950 km, previously held by the Chery Fulwin A8L. 

The mass-production sedan completed the challenging 5-day endurance run across China without stopping to refuel or recharge.

Inside the Geely Galaxy A7 EM Powertrain

The mechanical efficiency behind this massive range achievement relies heavily on the advanced Thor AI Hybrid 2.0 system architecture. This setup pairs a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with an innovative 11-in-1 electric drive motor unit. 

The gasoline combustion engine achieves a verified thermal efficiency exceeding 47.26% during operation. An onboard AI network constantly monitors driving parameters to balance fuel and battery power consumption.

The specialized Aegis Golden Brick battery in the Geely Galaxy A7 EM delivers an excellent pure-electric driving range. This high-capacity pack allows the sedan to maintain an incredibly low fuel consumption average of around 2 liters/100 km. 

Even when the main battery pack is depleted, the intelligent system efficiently prevents fuel consumption spikes. The global vehicle launch took place on April 22, with an entry price of 119,800 yuan.

5 Days of Demanding Real-World Terrain

Guinness officials supervised the entire 5-day marathon route to guarantee complete compliance with strict international testing rules. The designated test path crossed 4 distinct Chinese provinces, including Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, and the final destination was Guangdong. 

Drivers encountered a wide variety of geographical challenges that proved far more demanding than those on a flat, closed test track.

• Continuous uphill mountain roads tested the low-end torque delivery and thermal management systems under heavy loading.
• Lengthy underground highway tunnels forced the vehicle to maintain steady speeds without relying on external wind cooling.
• Heavy stop-and-go city traffic conditions were used to evaluate the efficiency of regenerative braking and electric motor transitions.
• Variable weather patterns across multiple provincial climates challenged the overall electrical architecture and the consistency of battery temperatures.

The official results show that the vehicle successfully outperformed the previous benchmark held by the Chery Fulwin sedan. That prior record stood at 2,369.950 kilometers before Geely raised the global automotive efficiency standard significantly higher. 

This competitive victory highlights an intensifying technical race among major automotive manufacturers building new energy plug-in hybrid platforms.

Conclusion

This historic PHEV range milestone arrives as the dedicated NEV brand experiences massive sales volume growth worldwide. Data trackers confirm that the subsidiary brand delivered more than 100,000 vehicles during June alone. 

This strong commercial performance proves that buyers are rapidly embracing these highly efficient next-generation plug-in powertrains. The record-breaking performance of the Geely Galaxy A7 EM will likely accelerate consumer adoption of highly efficient hybrid sedans.
