In the Malaysian SUV market, many buyers compare Proton X90 and Chery Tiggo 8 when choosing a car. These two cars are quite close in price and positioning. Today, we will make a detailed comparison from multiple aspects to help you save time on research.
Proton X90's OTR price in Malaysia is RM 106,800 - 122,800, with a total of 4 versions, including 2026 1.5T Prime X (RM 122,800), 2026 1.5T Prime (RM 116,800), 2026 1.5T Lite (RM 106,800), etc.
Chery Tiggo 8's OTR price in Malaysia is RM 129,750 - 129,750, with a total of 1 version, including 2026 1.6T Standard (RM 129,750), etc.
From a price perspective, Proton X90's starting price is indeed RM 22,950 cheaper than Chery Tiggo 8. If your budget is limited, Proton's entry-level version can already meet daily needs. However, note that the few thousand ringgit cheaper might involve trade-offs in features, depending on your specific needs.
Proton X90's safety rating is 5★ (ASEAN NCAP), with active safety systems including ADAS (ACC, AEB, LKA, LDA, BSM, RCTA).
Chery Tiggo 8's safety rating is TBD, with active safety systems including Basic.
Regarding safety features, both cars have received good ratings. However, there are some differences in functionality between Proton X90's ADAS (ACC, AEB, LKA, LDA, BSM, RCTA) and Chery Tiggo 8's Basic. If you value active safety more, you can compare the feature lists of both in detail.
Proton X90 body length is 4400 mm, trunk 400 L.
Chery Tiggo 8 body length is 4400 mm, trunk 400 L.
The dimensions of both cars are almost identical, with little difference in interior space. For cars of this level, daily use is fully sufficient.
Proton X90 warranty is 5 years/150,000km, service interval every 10,000km or 6 months.
Chery Tiggo 8 warranty is 3 years/100,000km, service interval every 10,000km or 6 months.
Overall, Proton X90 and Chery Tiggo 8 are both very good car models in the Malaysian market. Which one to choose depends on your personal needs and budget. We suggest doing your homework, comparing quotes from several dealerships, and then going for a test drive to make a final decision. Buying a car is a big matter, spending time on research will never be wrong.
Why can't global cars be built quickly? Because people in different countries have driving habits that vary too much.
For instance, Thai users feel unsafe if the steering wheel is too light, so the steering force needs to be adjusted one level heavier. Indonesia has many poor roads, so the steering feel is also adjusted to be a bit heavier. In Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Southeast Asia, sunlight is intense, so the steering wheel and center console should use low-reflection materials as much as possible because many people wear sunglasses for long periods while driving.
Users in Turkey and Israel are more accustomed to physical buttons, so some high-frequency functions cannot be fully embedded in the screen. In Europe, many people also prefer parking with the front of the car facing inwards, so when the vehicle is about 70 cm away from an obstacle, the front camera will automatically display.
None of these are major technologies on their own, but together, this is the most time-consuming part of global vehicle models.
The Fengyun T7 project conducted over 5,000+ global user surveys in the early stage, covering 15 typical national scenarios. The entire project involved 2 years of planning and 3 years of R&D, and the durability verification alone ran for 1.45 million kilometers.
Selling the same car to more than a dozen or even dozens of countries is truly not just about switching to right-hand drive or adapting a few languages. Climate, road conditions, parking methods, and even whether the steering wheel should be lighter or heavier, all need to be adapted step by step.
So, the phrase "Global cars can't be built quickly", I truly believe it's not an excuse for slow R&D. Customizing for different users worldwide simply cannot be done quickly.
Recently, Chery Fengyun T7 officially started pre-sale, with three versions having a pre-sale guide price of 109,900-129,900 RMB, simultaneously launching 7 sets of purchase benefits. Among them, the "dual safety net" of power battery thermal runaway compensation for a new car and up to 5 million compensation for autonomous driving accidents, combined with the "dual lifetime" policy of whole-vehicle lifetime warranty and lifetime basic maintenance, directly hit the core concerns of users regarding vehicle use, and also made this pure electric SUV focusing on global quality generate maximum buzz upon its debut.
100,000-130,000 RMB level pure electric SUV is the most fierce competitive price range in the current domestic new energy vehicle market, also the interval where user pain points are most concentrated. In the past, many models either used low range versions to lower the starting price, wanting long range means adding money for high spec; or shrank in safety quality and after-sales benefits, holding the idea of "fast-making cars" for quick iteration, but compromised long-term reliability. Fengyun T7's entry took a completely different path: relying on Chery's 23 years of global technology accumulation, first going through extreme trials in multiple global regions, then returning to the domestic market with global standards. This "reverse overseas tempering" tactic brought new variables to the intense competition in the entry pure electric market.
First to break is the price threshold for long range. In the past, same-price models generally placed 600km level range on high spec versions, starting price often needed above 130,000, low spec models mostly 400-500km range. If users wanted to say goodbye to range anxiety, they had to pay higher cost. Fengyun T7 directly achieved range configuration equality across all trims. The three models all standard equipped with 65.05kWh Rhino battery, CLTC range 600km, actual tested range even exceeded 667km, achieving "reverse exaggeration".
For daily commuting users, 600km range is enough to support one charge per week, no need to frequently go back and forth to charging stations; during long-distance travel, 30%-80% fast charging only takes 20 minutes, recharging efficiency is enough to match the rhythm of mid-journey rest. With dual-source wide heat pump air conditioning, the vehicle can operate stably in a wide temperature range from -30℃ to 55℃. Pain points of range reduction in northern winters and battery degradation in southern high temperatures are alleviated, truly making long range no longer exclusive to high specs.
Second is the dimensional reduction of safety quality, bringing global-level standards down to the 100,000 RMB price level. Many users worry most about battery safety and body rigidity when choosing low-price pure electric cars. Fengyun T7 is designed against the 2026 E-NCAP five-star safety standard. The body uses 80% high-strength steel and 18.84% hot-formed steel to build a cage structure, combined with 9 airbags, basic passive protection maxed out. Rhino battery is protected by 6D protection system against extrusion and puncture impact, IP68 waterproofing capability reaches 96 times national standard, summer heavy rain wading and road water accumulation can be handled with more peace of mind.
Different from many models that only meet standards in the laboratory, Fengyun T7 invested 81 dedicated durability vehicles for synchronized road testing. Whole vehicle cumulative test mileage exceeded 6 million kilometers, conducted real vehicle validation for Southeast Asia rainy season, Middle East high temperatures, Indonesia high humidity and other global extreme environments. Equivalent to using rigorous quality standards for export overseas on a 100,000 RMB SUV aimed at ordinary families. Such quality standards are not common among same-price models.
Coming down to daily use scenarios, Fengyun T7's practicality is also powerful enough. In terms of intelligence, integrated cockpit-drive 8775 chip guaranteed infotainment system response speed. 15.6-inch high-definition screen supports mainstream mobile phone wireless connectivity, seamless navigation and music connection upon boarding. Falcon 500 driver assistance system supports 300+ full-scenario automatic parking. Dead-end parking, multi-level parking can be realized, especially friendly to narrow parking spots and complex parking lots in cities. New drivers can also easily achieve parking freedom.
Space and comfort precisely fit family user needs. 2700mm wheelbase brings same-level leading rear legroom, pure flat floor allows middle passengers to also sit comfortably. Rear seats folded down can expand to 1955mm pure flat space, trunk capacity of regular 450L, maximum 1550L, can easily accommodate daily grocery shopping and baby pickup, weekend camping gear. 9-layer cloud-sensation seats support ventilation heating, plus chassis tuned by international team, daily commuting vibration damping is gentle, long-distance travel not easy to get tired.
From market competitiveness perspective, Fengyun T7 plays a combination of "global quality + national price + full-cycle benefits". At the price end, 109,900 starting price配上 full-range 600km range, is already more sincere than most same-price models; at the quality end, Chery's 20+ years of global car building experience and full-link rigorous testing grounded product long-term reliability; most differentiated is benefit policy, dual safety net directly eliminated user concerns about battery safety and autonomous driving responsibility, dual lifetime benefits pressed long-term vehicle use cost to extremely low.
Comparing many same-price models that only provide basic triple powertrain warranty and after-sales boundaries are blurred, Fengyun T7 is equivalent to transferring more vehicle use risk to the brand end. This confidence comes both from confidence in own product quality, also grasped ordinary family user core demand of "buying car with confidence, using car saving money".
Placed in the entire industry, the appearance of Fengyun T7 is actually re-organizing the value logic of 100,000 RMB pure electric SUVs. For a long time, 100,000 RMB electric cars were default as "short-distance commuter tools", not worthy of talking quality or service. Fengyun T7 insists on breaking this stereotype: using global standards as basic quality, using configuration equality to care for entry users, using safety net benefits to solve vehicle use anxiety, putting experiences and services that only existed in past mid-to-high-end models down to national price level.
In the current industry pursuit of fast iteration, fighting price wars, Chery chooses to use slow work to polish a global car. This long-term car building idea just hits the real needs of family users. Compared to flashy gimmick functions, they need more a reliable, durable, worry-free family car.
In general, Fengyun T7's pre-sale brought new value references to 100,000-130,000 RMB pure electric SUV market. It did not use low range low spec cars to draw traffic playing word games, nor did it rely on piling up flashy concepts to grab eyeballs, but truly gave users long range, high safety, full-cycle guarantees. For consumers, budget of 100,000+ to buy quality verified by global market, undoubtedly added one high cost-performance choice. For industry, Fengyun T7 will also force same-price competitors to re-examine products and services, no longer only rely on low price to attract attention, but return to the essence of family cars. As for how much market recognition this sincerity can exchange, will need to see after launch, but at least from pre-sale posture, it has precisely hit user real pain points.
On July 15, Geely Star Wish cumulative sales broke through the 800,000 unit mark. From 0 to 800,000, it took only 21 months, averaging 1 vehicle sold per minute and over 1,200 vehicles sold per day. This A0-class compact car, once viewed as merely "for grocery runs and commuting", has forcefully turned itself into a phenomenon-level blockbuster in the Chinese automotive market. On August 10, Star Wish released another big move — exclusive fan appreciation rights for 800,000 users were officially launched. This wave directly maximized expectations in the car community.
I. One Vehicle Delivered Every 60 Seconds
21 months, 800,000 units, what is the concept? Equivalent to on average every 60 seconds, one Star Wish finds an owner. In 2025, Star Wish directly topped the Chinese automotive market all-category sales champion, leaving a crowd of sedans and SUVs behind; in the first half of 2026, cumulative sales rushed to 249,000 units, year-on-year growth of 21%; July single month sold 55,105 units, breaking the 50,000 unit mark for two consecutive months. In the A0-class pure electric market, its market share has already exceeded 30%. Some people always say the ceiling of A0-class compact cars is low, Star Wish counters and proves: compact cars can also dominate the whole field.

II. From China's Sales Champion to Global Top Trend
Even more impressive is that Star Wish's ambition is not limited to domestic. In Q1 2026, it directly joined the global new energy vehicle sales top three, it is the only Chinese brand model to appear on the list. Currently, Star Wish has landed in global 30+ countries, taking China new energy two-door models export TOP2; Brazil launched 5 months sales exceeded 10,000, June topped Thailand new energy sales champion, August 5 again officially launched in Australia, third quarter still to enter EU and UK. From emerging markets all the way to developed countries, galloping on foreign streets Star Wish, has already become a moving Chinese business card.
III. The Ace Card Behind the Galaxy Speed
Star Wish's surge also propelled the entire Geely Galaxy brand. From January to July 2026, Geely Galaxy cumulative sales reached 627,000 units, holding the number one spot for emerging EV brand sales, and also ranking in the top three global new energy brands; as of now, cumulative sales have exceeded 2.44 million units, becoming the fastest new energy brand globally to reach this scale. Behind this dazzling "Galaxy Speed", Star Wish is the most powerful engine. Without Star Wish's sprint, there is no Galaxy takeoff. An A0-class compact car supporting the entire brand's prestige — if said two years ago, no one would have believed it.
800,000 units is a milestone, and also a brand new starting line. From "a hit upon launch" to "being a champion is the norm", Star Wish uses a series of hardcore data to vividly display the big impact of a compact model. Next, it will take the trust of 800,000 users to sprint towards the Million Club. This acceleration legend staged by Chinese compact cars has just begun.
In Malaysia's SUV market, many buyers compare Proton X70 and Chery Tiggo 9 when choosing a car. These two cars are quite close in price and positioning. Today we will make a detailed comparison from multiple aspects to save you time doing research.
The OTR price for Proton X70 in Malaysia is RM 106,800 - 122,300, with 3 versions in total, including 1.5L Standard 2WD (RM 106,800), 1.5L Executive 2WD (RM 115,800), 1.5L Premium 2WD (RM 122,300), etc.
The OTR price for Chery Tiggo 9 in Malaysia is RM 166,800 - 179,800, with 1 version in total, including 2026 2.0T Standard (RM 179,750), etc.
Looking at the price, the starting price of the Proton X70 is indeed RM 60,000 cheaper than the Chery Tiggo 9. If your budget is limited, the entry-level Proton can already meet daily needs. However, be aware that the cost saving might involve compromises in features, depending on your specific requirements.
Proton X70 is equipped with a 1.5L Turbo, 140 hp. Official fuel consumption 7.0 L/100km.
Chery Tiggo 9 is equipped with a 2.0L 4-cyl, 170 hp. Official fuel consumption 8.0 L/100km.
In terms of power, the Chery Tiggo 9's 2.0L 4-cyl has 30 more horsepower than the Proton X70's 1.5L Turbo. However, for daily city driving, the power of both cars is sufficient, you won't feel like it lacks power.
Proton X70 safety rating is 5★ (ASEAN NCAP), active safety systems include ADAS (ACC, AEB, LKA, LDA, BSM, RCTA).
Chery Tiggo 9 safety rating is TBD, active safety systems include Basic.
Regarding safety features, both cars have received good ratings. However, the Proton X70's ADAS (ACC, AEB, LKA, LDA, BSM, RCTA) and Chery Tiggo 9's Basic have some differences in functionality. If you value active safety more, you can compare the feature lists of both carefully.
Proton X70 uses FWD drive configuration.
Chery Tiggo 9 uses FWD drive configuration.
Both cars have the same drive configuration, both are FWD, no significant difference in daily driving feel.
Both Proton X70 and Chery Tiggo 9 are mainstream choices in the Malaysian market, suitable for family use and daily commuting. If you value brand reputation and resale value more, you can prioritize the one with better reputation; if you care more about cost-performance and features, then choose the one with richer configuration. Ultimately, it is recommended to test drive both, personal experience is the most important.
Overall, both Proton X70 and Chery Tiggo 9 are very good models in the Malaysian market. Which one to choose depends on your personal needs and budget. It is recommended to do your research, compare quotes from several dealers, and then test drive to make the final decision. Buying a car is a big matter, spending some time researching will never be wrong.
In 2026, the Chinese car market, on the surface, is still moving forward, but the underlying tone is not easy. On one hand, NEV penetration continues to rise, with new cars arriving one after another; on the other hand, promotions, price cuts, and benefit increases have basically become the norm.
It is worth noting that selling cars does not mean profit remains. You should know that the most uncomfortable part of this industry is not the lack of sales, but that many enterprises are exchanging profit for market share and cash flow for voice.
Entering July, the market pressure did not suddenly disappear. According to data released by the China Passenger Car Association, from July 1st to 26th, national passenger car retail was 1.123 million units, down 18% year-on-year and 13% month-on-month. From here, it is clear that consumers are more cautious about buying cars, and enterprises can no longer solely rely on a round of marketing hype to push up sales.
However, precisely against this backdrop, Geely Automobile delivered a July «report card» with quite a sense of contrast. Its single-month sales reached 250,161 units, making Geely Automobile the only company in the industry to achieve month-on-month and year-on-month double growth in sales for five consecutive months. Among them, NEV sales (including Geely Automobile, Lynk & Co, ZEEKR) were 160,165 units, up 23% year-on-year, accounting for 64% of total sales. More worth pondering is that Geely Automobile's overseas exports also reached 106,663 units, up 202% year-on-year and 4% month-on-month, achieving double growth year-on-year and month-on-month for seven consecutive months.
You should know that these are not numbers easily exchanged by «lowering the price a bit more» and «pumping volume more fiercely». Because the market today no longer lacks a car that becomes popular in the short term; it lacks a system that can continuously meet demand: mainstream markets need scale, high-end markets need brand momentum, fuel users cannot be abandoned, and NEV users must be persuaded; the domestic market needs stability, and the overseas market must have new growth.
Therefore, what is truly worth looking at in Geely Automobile's July report card is not the result of 250,000 units itself, but where these 250,000 units come from, what supports them, and whether they can continue. When the industry is generally under pressure, why can Geely Automobile still run its own rhythm? Let's explore it together!
Not just «one best-selling model», but a product matrix that can fight
If you break down Geely Automobile's July sales by company, you will find that its growth logic is not single-line.
Geely Brand sales for the month were 197,942 units, up 2% year-on-year, still constituting the most solid basic base of this automaker. Looking down, Geely Galaxy sold 107,797 units, up 13% year-on-year; China Star Series sales were 90,145 units, up 15% month-on-month; ZEEKR deliveries were 35,837 units, a big jump of 111% year-on-year; Lynk & Co sales were 16,382 units, among which NEV products reached 14,069 units. The meaning of these numbers lies not in every brand having to become «Number One», but in different price bands, energy routes, and usage scenarios having relatively clear successors.
Let's look at Geely Galaxy first. It bears the scale task of the mainstream NEV market. Star Wish July sales were 55,105 units, up 24% year-on-year and 8% month-on-month, cumulative sales breaking 800,000 units. For a volume-selling car, the true test has never been whether it can create hype at launch, but whether it can still retain users after rapid product iteration and frequent price cuts by competitors. Continuous sales performance shows that Galaxy is not just hitting the rhythm in a certain window period; it has begun to possess the ability to output stably.
Next is ZEEKR. 35,837 units of monthly delivery and a 111% year-on-year increase are not just a number change in the high-end NEV market. It exactly shows that in the process of Geely Automobile moving upwards, it did not understand high-endization as «more expensive configuration sheets», but is strengthening the combined force of brand, technology, and product experience. Products such as ZEEKR 9X, Refreshed ZEEKR 009, and 7X have successively progressed for delivery, targeting different battlefields such as high-end SUVs, luxury MPVs, and global pure electric markets. Users of high-end cars are not insensitive to prices, but they care more about whether a car is complete enough—design, performance, intelligence, safety, and service cannot focus on just one item.
Compared to ZEEKR, Lynk & Co undertakes the group's «broader» task. It did not crowd into the same comfortable home-use track with all brands, but continues to strengthen sports and travel attributes. In July, Lynk & Co 07 GT went on sale and 10,000 large orders were broken in 27 minutes, although this data comes from the enterprise disclosure standpoint. But it at least reflects a trend: when NEV products gradually look more and more alike, products that can provide clear driving personality and scene value are actually easier to be remembered.
And besides NEV cars, don't ignore fuel cars. When many people talk about NEV transformation, they habitually view fuel businesses as «old burdens» that need to be discarded as soon as possible. But for an automaker pursuing operating quality, fuel cars are still important cash flow and user foundations. In this regard, Geely China Star continues to consolidate fuel car market competitiveness. China Star July sales reached 90,145 units, up 15% month-on-month; the Double Bin Family sales were 31,152 units, up 68% year-on-year. This means Geely Automobile did not use NEV to hard confront and replace all demand, but retained different user choice rights during the transformation process.
From here, it is not difficult to see that this is where the synergy of Geely's four brands is most valuable: Galaxy is responsible for deepening and expanding the mainstream NEV market, ZEEKR is responsible for breakthroughs in high-end value zones, Lynk & Co defends youthful, sporty, and personalized expressions, and China Star stabilizes the basic base of fuel car users. They are not four teams fighting independently, but jointly undertaking growth tasks in different segmented markets.
More importantly, the value of the matrix is not just «many cars». From the appearance of Galaxy TT and Galaxy Warship 700, to the successive deliveries of new ZEEKR and Lynk & Co products, to the product renewal of China Star, Geely is expanding product boundaries to more scenarios such as sedans, SUVs, MPVs, wagons, and NEV off-roading. If the new product rhythm of some automakers can ultimately be converted into continuous delivery and reputation, this matrix will be upgraded from «coverage» to «moat».
Thus, the answer to the question is already becoming clear. Geely Automobile's counter-trend is not relying on a single car suddenly exploding, but relying on a product system that relays to each other. When market demand becomes more fragmented and pickier, try not to let users flow elsewhere. What needs to be seen next is why this system can not only sell cars domestically but also extend growth overseas.
Exports Break 100,000 in Two Consecutive Months, From «Product Going Overseas» to «Value Going Overseas»
In the past, Chinese car exports were often understood as a business of «sending products overseas»: finding importers, laying out channels, grabbing market share. This road can be run fast, but not necessarily far. Because the competition for NEVs is not just battery capacity and screen size on the configuration sheet; it also has to face charging conditions, after-sales response, financial solutions, regulatory standards, and even user trust in the brand in different countries.
The difference in this round of Geely Automobile's overseas growth lies in it starting to do three things at once: using NEV products to open the mainstream market, using high-end brands to raise the value ceiling, and using local partnerships to turn one-time sales into long-term operations. The three lines are not fighting independently, but are jointly answering the same question: how to enter the core price band of the global car market without relying on low prices.
From the data perspective alone, Geely Automobile's overseas exports in July were 106,663 units, achieving month-on-month and year-on-month double growth for seven consecutive months, breaking the 100,000 unit threshold for two consecutive months. The export volume has accounted for 42% of total sales, supporting nearly half of the business. More含金量 (worthiness) is the export structure. Its NEV product exports in July were 62,604 units, surging 616% year-on-year, accounting for 59% of total export volume. In August, Star Wish will enter the broad A0-class Australian market, with a price of 124,000-146,000 RMB, and gross profit margin significantly higher than domestic.
From specific market performance, Geely Automobile's products have already established a foothold in multiple global markets. Geely Star Wish (Geely EX2) ranked first in Thailand EV sales, second in Brazil EV, and second in Mexico pure electric models; Star Ship 7 EM-i (Geely EX5 EM-i) ranked first in Poland C-class PHEV market single model sales, second in Mexico June PHEV segmented market sales, also topping the plug-in hybrid list in Slovenia, Bulgaria and other markets, and ranking second in Mexico plug-in hybrid segmented market.
The overseas expansion of high-end brands is also noteworthy. Since the launch of Lynk & Co 08, global cumulative deliveries have reached nearly 190,000 units, ranking in the top three of Mexico high-end plug-in hybrid SUV and Morocco mid-size plug-in hybrid SUV sales in the first half of the year; ZEEKR ranked first in Australian and Malaysian luxury pure electric brand sales in the first half of the year. ZEEKR 7X ranked first in multiple segmented markets including Australia mid-size SUV over 65,000 AUD, Malaysia luxury EV, Morocco luxury electric SUV, Egypt mid-size luxury electric SUV, and ZEEKR 009 firmly stays at the top of Thailand and Malaysia luxury pure electric MPV sales.
At the same time, ZEEKR's global territory is still expanding rapidly. Among them, ZEEKR 007GT officially landed in 16 European countries; ZEEKR 7X exceeded 1,000 pre-sale orders in South Korea, with high-middle and high-spec ratio as high as 94%; ZEEKR also became the first Chinese high-end automobile brand to land in East Malaysia, and channel networks continue to sink. Geely Automobile's overseas expansion has never been simply «selling cars abroad», but walking the route of localized operations, reducing risks and improving efficiency through win-win cooperation.
Besides product overseas expansion, Geely Automobile continues to promote localized operation capability construction. In July, Geely Automobile reached an agreement with Ford. The two parties will establish a joint venture company at Ford's Valencia, Spain factory to produce NEV models for the European market through capacity sharing. This light asset cooperation model can quickly cut into core European markets without building factories from scratch, and can effectively counter tariffs and geopolitical policy risks. Both domestic and overseas brokerages have consistently expressed看好 (look favorably). Additionally, on the channel end, Geely Automobile is also promoting simultaneously. Geely Automobile has formally signed with Pakistan comprehensive enterprise group Bestway Group, authorizing it as Geely Galaxy's official importer in Pakistan. It will officially enter the Pakistan market in Q3 this year, initially introducing two pure electric SUVs Galaxy E5 and Star Wish, continuously developing emerging markets.
As of July, Geely Automobile has completed 58% of its annual million-export goal, with pace far exceeding industry expectations. With ZEEKR 9X landing in the Middle East and i-HEV hybrid technology going overseas in the second half of the year, this second growth curve of globalization will continue to release profit potential and become an important support for Geely Automobile to traverse the domestic cycle.
Technical Moat
Why can Geely Automobile maintain profitability in an «bleeding» industry environment? Besides brand and market success, the fundamental reason lies in its deep technical moat. When price wars are fought fiercely, Geely Automobile chose a harder but more correct path: using technology premium to counter price involution.
In core NEV technology, Geely Galaxy released the world's first «Thunder 16-in-1 Smart Electric Drive», completing breakthrough iteration of NEV electric drive underlying technology. This system will be equipped on Geely Galaxy TT first, not only successfully winning «Lowest energy consumption record for mass-produced pure electric cars circling Qinghai Lake» and «Longest continuous dual-car drift on wet roads (electric vehicle)» Guinness World Records, but also controlling 100km/h electric consumption at a surprising level of 8.20kWh. This generational advantage in technology gives Geely Automobile absolute pricing power in the 100,000-200,000 mainstream market.
In the manufacturing field, two core technologies of Geely Automobile won the Second Prize of the 2025 National Science and Technology Progress Award. Whether «Heat-treated Quenching and Tempering Aluminum/Magnesium Alloy and Its Application Technology for Integrated Die Casting» or «Key Technologies and Industrialization of High Safety, High Fault Tolerance, High Efficiency Intelligent Electric Electric Chassis», they all broke the long-term monopoly of overseas enterprises in high-performance materials and high-end chassis fields. This means Geely Automobile can not only make good cars, but also make good cars at lower costs and higher efficiency. This manufacturing cost advantage is the confidence for it to dare to «not lose money» in price wars.
In intelligence, Geely Automobile always insists on safety as the bottom line. On July 21, Geely Automobile obtained the industry's first «Automobile Production Organization Combined Driving Assistance Safety Management System Certification Certificate». In today's era of intelligence driving systems flooding, Geely Automobile did not blindly pursue «futures» functions, but established an industry-leading safety standardization system through «Qianli Haohan» intelligence driving system. In the second half of the year, Geely Automobile will also set up a «2030 Lab» to tackle frontier fields such as acoustics, optics, digital chassis, embodied intelligence, etc. This «develop one generation, reserve one generation, apply one generation» technical rhythm ensures Geely Automobile products always lead by half a position.
Final Thoughts:
July 250,000 units, five consecutive months of double growth, overseas breaking 100,000 consecutive months, NEV penetration rate 64%. Geely Automobile's report card placed against the backdrop of the industry's overall decline speaks for itself.
But what is worth thinking about more than numbers is the way of growth. Geely Automobile did not participate in bottomless price wars or rely on pressing inventory to pump volume, but covered layered markets through multi-brand synergy, opened up incremental space through high-value overseas expansion, and built competitive barriers through underlying technology. This is a path of «high-quality growth». It is not about who loses less, but who has stronger blood-making ability.
