This setup is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/10\/geely-galaxy-starship-7-is-chinas-latest-plug-in-hybrid-suv-with-a-cool-name\/\">shared with models like the Galaxy Starship 7 SUV<\/a> and the larger Galaxy Star 8 sedan. In its most efficient form, the Star 8 can manage up to 130 km (81 miles) of electric-only driving and up to 1,600 km (994 miles) total, giving us a ballpark idea of what the A7 might deliver under real-world conditions.<\/p>\n<p>As for size, the A7 closely mirrors the dimensions of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/toyota-camry\/\">Toyota Camry<\/a>, measuring 4,918 mm (193.6 inches) long with a 2,845 mm (112 inches) wheelbase. That puts it about 100 mm (3.9 inches) shorter overall than the Star 8, and its wheelbase is trimmed by 83 mm (3.3 inches), suggesting a more compact footprint while still offering mid-size sedan roominess.<\/p>\n<section class=\"type:slideshow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/section>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Geely Galaxy \/ Weibo<\/h4>\n<p>Visually, the A7 doesn&rsquo;t try to reinvent the sedan, though sharp eyes will spot some familiar cues, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/08\/vw-passat-pro-sedan-is-a-china-only-affair-with-a-longer-wheelbase-lots-of-tech\/\">profile not unlike the Passat Pro<\/a>.
