Geely's Galaxy A7 EM has achieved a remarkable feat, setting a new Guinness World Record for the longest distance driven by a production plug-in hybrid sedan on a single tank of fuel and full charge without recharging. This impressive feat showcases the vehicle's exceptional efficiency and performance, as it covered a distance of 2,608.360 km over five days, traversing four provinces in China. The challenge was a testament to the vehicle's robust powertrain, which includes a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with a thermal efficiency exceeding 47.26%. The Thor AI-powered EM Hybrid 2.0 system, featuring an 11-in-1 electric drive unit and a single-speed DHT transmission, played a pivotal role in achieving this record. The "Aegis Golden Brick" battery further enhanced the vehicle's efficiency, providing a pure electric range of up to 235 km under CLTC conditions. During the record-breaking run, the AI-driven energy management system optimized the balance between fuel and electricity, maintaining a low fuel consumption rate even under depleted battery conditions. The Geely Galaxy A7 EM was launched in April 2026, with an official starting price of 119,800 yuan (17,550 USD). The Thor AI Hybrid 2.0 PHEV powertrain, with its impressive thermal efficiency, was announced last year. Geely's Galaxy brand is its best-selling new energy vehicle, with sales of 108,206 units globally in June 2026, representing a significant year-on-year and month-on-month increase. This achievement highlights Geely's commitment to innovation and sustainability in the automotive industry, offering efficient and environmentally friendly transportation solutions. As the world continues to embrace electric vehicles, Geely's Galaxy A7 EM sets a new benchmark for efficiency and performance, inspiring further advancements in the field.
