The Galaxy Battleship, Geely’s Electrified SUV, Debuts First in China. It Features a Armored Battery, Performs Advanced Maneuvers, and Can Float on Water with the Help of Artificial Intelligence.
The Chinese manufacturer Geely revealed on Thursday (24), during the Shanghai Auto Show, an electrified SUV that promises to break the standards of off-road mobility. Named Galaxy Cruiser and internationally translated as Galaxy Battleship, the model can float on water for up to two hours and boasts an impressive range of advanced technologies.
The SUV features a propulsion system assisted by artificial intelligence and offers breathtaking maneuvers, such as 360° spins, lateral movement, and even driving with a flat tire.
Design Focused on Durability: Protection Against Water, Impacts, and Even Bullets
The safety of the Galaxy Battleship is a highlight of the project. Geely equipped the vehicle with an armored battery, protected by materials resistant to fire, explosions, and extreme impacts.

New Toyota pickup, ‘Hilux’s smaller sister’, will have a look inspired by the Corolla Cross, a 2.0 engine with up to 176 hp, a plug-in hybrid flex version with 223 hp and an electric range of 86 km to face Fiat Toro and BYD Mako

With a TSI engine of up to 150 hp, a 420-liter trunk, a 10.1-inch VW Play infotainment system, and almost 7,900 units sold in April 2026, Volkswagen’s SUV remains the segment leader, leaving Creta, Tracker, and Compass behind.

The next generation of the Toyota Corolla could become almost unrecognizable next to the current model, according to projections, the images show a tapered front end, LED bar headlights, recessed door handles, and a new rear end with two light strips.
The bulletproof coating reinforces the brand’s commitment to durability, even under severe conditions.
This structure allows the SUV to be utilized in rugged terrain, floods, and river crossings with much more safety and robustness.
In “boat” mode, the Galaxy Battleship can reach speeds of up to 8.5 km/h on water, navigating with the help of integrated radar and sonar — features that help detect submerged obstacles and facilitate crossings in hard-to-reach places.
With this innovation, Geely follows the trend of amphibious vehicles presented last year by BYD, with the U8 model.
Without yet revealing the final powertrain, Geely stated that the SUV will feature an intelligent system to switch between three modes: electric, hybrid, and range extender.
The onboard artificial intelligence will be responsible for assessing the environment and automatically activating the most efficient type of propulsion.
In addition, the four-wheel drive will feature algorithms that enable maneuvers previously exclusive to specialized vehicles.
China Will Be the First Market to Receive Geely’s SUV
Geely has not yet announced the production start date for the Galaxy Battleship, but has confirmed that the model will initially debut in the Chinese market.
The expectation is that the SUV will reinforce the brand’s positioning as a reference in automotive innovation, directly competing with names like BYD and expanding the presence of the Chinese industry in the futuristic and multifunctional vehicle segment.
