From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Geely Galaxy L6 (Chinese: 吉利银河L6; pinyin: Jílì Yínhé L6) is a plug-in hybrid compact sedan manufactured by the Chinese car manufacturer Geely Auto under the Geely Galaxy marque. The L6 is Geely Galaxy's second model, following the L7 SUV.^[2]

Overview

The Geely Galaxy L6 shares the same NordThor Hybrid 8848 powertrain as the L7, combining a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine mated to a 3-speed DHT, as well as a front-mounted electric motor. The L6 also shares the same Compact Modular Architecture platform as the L7, along with other Geely vehicles.^[3]

The interior of the L6 features a 10.25″ LCD screen behind the steering wheel serving as an instrument panel. A vertically-oriented 13.2″ screen occupies the centre console and serves as a control centre for the vehicles infotainment system. The Geely Galaxy is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor and runs on the Geely Galaxy N-OS operating system.^[4]

2025 EM-i refresh

On February 12, 2025 Geely introduced the refreshed L6, called the L6 EM-i, with a new powertrain and updated interior, with deliveries beginning on February 23. It uses the NordThor 2.0 (Leishen 2.0) plug-in hybrid powertrain introduced with the Starship 7, using a naturally aspirated engine rather than a turbocharged unit, with the intention of better competing with the BYD Qin L DM-i's DM-i 5.0 powertrain.^[5]^[6]^[7]

The exterior retains the same dimensions and features few changes other than a change to traditional loop-style door handles. The interior features several changes, including a new two-tone two-spoke steering wheel, and a new center console design. The central infotainment display is now a horizontally-oriented 14.6-inch screen, below which is a pair of air vents and two wireless charging pads and a panel containing a rotary control dial and other controls.^[5]

Powertrain

The L6's 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine is capable of putting out 120 kW (161 hp; 163 PS) and 225 N⋅m (166 lb⋅ft) torque, while the electric motor puts out 107 kW (143 hp; 145 PS) and 338 N⋅m (249 lb⋅ft) torque. This setup provides a system combined power of 287 kW (385 hp; 390 PS) and 535 N⋅m (395 lb⋅ft) torque, and allows the L6 to achieve a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time of 6.5 seconds, as well as a top speed of 235 km/h (146 mph).^[8]^[9]

There are two battery size options available for the Geely Galaxy L6: 9.1 or 18.7 kWh. The 9.1 kWh battery allows the vehicle to reach a total combined range of 1,320 km (820 mi) on the WLTP cycle, while the 18.7 kWh option can reach 1,370 km (851 mi).^[9]^[10]

The L6 EM-i uses the NordThor 2.0 (Leishen 2.0) plug-in hybrid system with two battery options. It consists of a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder outputting 82 kW (110 hp; 111 PS) and 136 N⋅m (100 lb⋅ft) of torque, paired with a DHT transmission with an integrated P3 motor outputting 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) and 262 N⋅m (193 lb⋅ft) of torque, which is also the peak system power. Power is supplied by either a CALB-supplied 8.5 kWh pack, or a SVOLT-supplied 19.1 kWh pack, providing CLTC electric range ratings of 48 km (30 mi) and 115 km (71 mi), respectively, and a combined range of 1,300 km (808 mi). The version with the smaller battery has a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time of 7.4 seconds, while both versions have a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph).^[5]^[6]
