Wait, what’s this – an EV version of a PHEV version of an EV? Well… somewhat. The Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EV we saw at Auto China 2026 in Beijing had us truly scratching our heads, but it now transpires, according to Car News China, that this is positioned above the Galaxy E5/EX5 EV, which we of course know as the Proton eMas 7 EV.
If you’re confused, the Galaxy Starship 7 was born a PHEV (eventually becoming our Proton eMas 7 PHEV); now this is the EV version. Like the latest Geely Galaxy E5/EX5 EV, this guy’s got either 60.2 kWh (525 km CLTC) or 68.39 kWh (605 km CLTC) batteries and a front-mounted 218 PS electric motor, although curiously CNC estimates torque to be 300 Nm instead of the 320 Nm we’re familiar with.
Now, the PHEV (regardless of whether you call it the Galaxy Starship 7, Starray EM-i or Proton eMas 7 PHEV) was always slightly larger than the EV (Galaxy E5/EX5/Proton eMas 7 EV), and this, according to CNC, is the basis for this new car being positioned above the Galaxy E5/EX5 EV. In case you’re wondering, the disparities are 125 mm in length, 39 mm in width, 15 mm in height and 5 mm in wheelbase.
Of course, it also looks different from the other car, so we suppose you’d buy this if you prefer the split headlamps, full-width front LED bar, this front bumper design, regular door handles and your rear number plate to be on your tailgate rather than on the bumper… and you want a full EV. Makes sense?
