Geely has announced that it will unveil a new MPV at this year’s Auto Guangzhou on November 21. It will be called the V900, parked under the Chinese carmaker’s Galaxy brand and have a twin brother in the form of the LEVC L380.
Judging from the teaser images posted on Geely Galaxy’s official Weibo page, the V900 will follow the design language of its stablemate, with familiar features like a rounded front fascia, expressive front and rear lighting, a flat roofline and black pillars. There are differences, however, as the V900 has a prominent full-width grille compared to the L380’s “empty” look, and there’s a LiDAR unit on the roof.
This is because where the L380 is a pure electric model, the V900 will be an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV). Regulatory documents indicate that the MPV will come with a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine that produces 163 PS (161 hp or 120 kW), along with two battery options. The first is a 50 kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) unit from CALB that offers up to 172 km of all-electric range, while the other option is a CATL-produced 50 kWh NMC battery for up to 202 km.
The V900 will be a large vehicle, with dimensions of 5,360 mm long, 1,998 mm wide and 1,940 mm high. That makes it longer overall compared to the L380, which has a span of 5,316 mm. Within this floor space there is room for up to six (2+2+2 layout) or eight seats (2+2+2+2 layout), with a trunk depth of 919 or 347 mm respectively.
AutoNewsChina reports that the Galaxy V900 is expected to launch in China this year, and it could also make its way to the UK, where the L380 will go on sale there next year.
