Overview
- Edmunds, which published its test Friday, said the three-row Geely Galaxy M9 could pressure pricier U.S. SUVs.
- Track results included 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, a 12.9-second quarter mile at 98.6 mph, and a 110-foot stop from 60 mph.
- The extended-range hybrid, which uses a large battery to drive the wheels and a small engine as a generator, covered 101 electric miles in testing versus a 130-mile claim and about 808 miles total by Geely’s estimate.
- Geely sells the M9 in China from about $25,000 with a 30-inch quick-touch screen, massaging seats, a flip-down rear display, and a built-in fridge.
- Geely said the U.S. loan was only to show its tech as tariffs near 100% and political pushback keep Chinese brands out despite rising shopper interest.
