On the morning of October 20, the Geely Galaxy production line at the Xiangtan manufacturing base was operating a double shift, with a new vehicle coming off the line every 55 seconds, where humans rest but the line does not. The 1 millionth Star Wish came off this line; counting from its launch in October 2024, in 24 months, it set a global record for the fastest million-unit speed for new energy vehicles.
Looking at the five nodes laid out, the intervals are getting shorter: Launched in October 2024, 200,000 in May 2025, 600,000 in March 2026, 800,000 in August, 1 million in October; the final 400,000 units took only 7 months. For a scale of 1 million units, it usually takes three to five years globally, and often involves the combined volume of several models under a brand, but Star Wish achieved 1 million units for a single model in 24 months. The production line hasn't changed; what changed is the order speed: Retail sales were 465,775 units in 2025, ranking first in all categories; in the first half of 2026, retail sales were 249,418 units, a 21% year-over-year increase. Extending to January-September, cumulative sales still rank first in all categories in China, with its share in the A0-segment pure electric market exceeding 30%. It sold over 60,000 in both August and September for two consecutive months, and broke 70,000 in October, which is the highest single-month sales volume for this car.
Star Wish has been sold to over 30 countries globally; in January-June 2026, it ranked second in China's new energy hatchback exports. Thailand EV sales champion, Egypt A&B pure electric sales champion for 2 consecutive months, Mexico top 2 in all-category pure electric sales for 3 consecutive months, Australia launched only 2 months and won the Hatchback pure electric sales champion again; these achievements were all secured by this car.
70,000 RMB Level Value Benchmark: Targeted Breakthrough on Three Major Practical Pain Points
From 64,800 to 94,800 RMB, Star Wish is not the cheapest in the A0-segment; it couldn't sell 1 million units in 24 months relying solely on being cheap. It solves three old problems that consumers at this price point have tolerated for years.
First is space, the most commonly criticized pain point for small cars. Star Wish has a length of 4135mm and a wheelbase of 2650mm. The rear floor is completely flat, so if three adults sit in the back, the middle one doesn't need to spread legs the whole way. There is also a 70L front trunk at the front of the car; charging cables, umbrellas, wet rags, and other items that shouldn't enter the cabin finally have a place to put. With the rear seats folded, the cargo space expands from 375L to 1320L, enough to fit a small desk horizontally. Under the passenger seat, there is a 10L drawer; lipstick, wet wipes, charging cables, and other scraps usually scattered on the seats can be stowed away in one go. Vanity mirrors for the driver and passenger both have soft light, so there's no need to find a light before touching up makeup before going out.
Next is the bumpiness issue. Star Wish chassis features a rear-motor rear-wheel drive setup plus a rear multi-link independent suspension; this is not common in 70,000 RMB cars. When going over speed bumps, the two rear wheels go their own way; one presses up while the other doesn't bounce along.
Finally, difficulty in turning around. Star Wish has a minimum turning radius of 4.95 meters, with a maximum front wheel steering angle of 41 degrees. On narrow roads like those in old residential areas, you can turn around in one steering input without needing to back up and then go.
These three features are available on the 64,800 RMB entry version, with no extra cost required.
Maxed-out Hidden Configuration: Cross-Tier Investment in Safety and Quality
The easiest thing to cut costs on in low-priced cars is the battery. Mixed cell assembly at this price point is not rare; the same model uses different suppliers for different batches, and buyers have to rely on luck. Star Wish uses CATL Lithium Iron Phosphate across the line, equipped with liquid cooling. There is also an aluminum alloy protective cabin outside the battery pack. For underbody strikes, scrapes, or wading water, the outer shell breaks first, protecting the cells.
Filling the Brand Matrix: A Key Move for Galaxy to Enter the Entry Market
Geely Galaxy was established in February 2023. The first car, L7, launched in May of that year. It sold 83,000 units in 2023, 494,000 in the second year, and 1.24 million in 2025, increasing more than tenfold in three years; from L7's launch to reaching 1 million annual sales took 29 months, a speed that leaves many new energy brands in the dust.
But during these three years, Galaxy has been missing one piece: no car under 100,000 RMB that can carry volume. E5 holds the 150,000 RMB pure electric SUV segment, Starship 7 holds the hybrid SUV segment, and M9 is responsible for the high end. For a mainstream brand to stand firm, it needs a car that ordinary people can afford at first sight, and Star Wish fills this position.
So, these 1 million units of Star Wish mean more than just adding another hit car for Galaxy; it brings the high quality and good value pitch onto the 70,000 RMB price point, the hardest to work on. By standing firm here, it can fight down and dare to go up.
In Galaxy's 1.24 million units in 2025, Star Wish accounted for 530,000, over 40%. Placed into Geely's annual 3.02 million units and 1.69 million new energy units, it is the backbone; it's not the most expensive in Galaxy, but the one most people recognize first.
After 1 Million Sales: Long-term Stability Supported by System Capability
Star Wish achieving 1 million sales is the strongest proof of the GEA global new energy architecture's success. The proof is not on the drawings, but in Xiangtan, Geely's self-built complete vehicle base. Operated in Hunan for 20 years, auto production and sales in 2025 broke 640,000 units/sets. The supporting Flash-Power battery project has an annual capacity of 10 GWh, and the 1 millionth battery pack comes off the line in 2026. With the whole vehicle and battery in the same city, the support radius is short, ensuring the 55-second-per-unit cadence doesn't break.
Another piece of evidence lies in the hands of users. A 310km Dream Edition Star Wish ran for two years; the odometer reached 220,000 km. In Eco mode with the AC off, running from full charge to empty, the measured range was 309.3 km, a range achievement rate of 99.7%. The same car re-tested the Moose test at 78.1 km/h, compared to 80.7 km/h for a new car. The measured range of EVs is usually 80-90% of the rated range; this car that ran for two years and 220,000 km can still achieve 99.7%, and the Moose test is only 2.6 km/h lower than the new car. The battery and chassis have basically not deviated.
1 million units coming off at light speed shows this line runs fast; whether the 1,000,001st unit's quality is the same truly shows whether the production line is stable.
Conclusion
Selling 1 million units in 24 months is a speed record, but speed itself is not the destination.
1 million units off the line means Star Wish has entered a new stage of scale; the bigger test has just begun. For over 30 countries overseas, the question is whether channels, after-sales, and brand recognition keep up with the car sales speed, and whether localized production is on the agenda. Domestically, where is the ceiling for the A0-segment share? What to rely on to keep the gap after competitors catch up on configuration? Whether the price band will be squeezed from above and pressed from below? All are questions to be answered next.
At least until today, Star Wish's speed has proven two things: the scale space for entry-level pure electric is far from fully released; once product power crosses the 'enough' line, the mass market wants more than the industry thinks. China's new energy competitiveness is shifting from purely competing on price-performance to competing on supply chain efficiency and product definition capability.
