Multi-Dimensional Breakthroughs in Architecture, Powertrain, AI, and Safety Reshape the Foundation of AI-Powered New Energy Off-Road Vehicles
The current new energy off-road market faces persistent challenges: balancing off-road performance with urban comfort, achieving precise control with high power, lowering operational barriers for ordinary users, and ensuring safety in outdoor environments. Geely’s AI new energy off-road technology systematically addresses these pain points from the ground up, achieving breakthroughs across architecture, powertrain, AI, and safety to deliver a no-compromise intelligent off-road solution.
World-First GTA Native New Energy Off-Road Architecture Balances Off-Road and Urban Scenarios
To overcome the physical space constraints and comfort limitations of traditional ladder-frame designs, Geely developed the GTA native new energy off-road architecture. By fully integrating the ladder frame into the body skeleton, it creates a "unibody-plus-integrated frame" structure. The industry-first 6-longitudinal, 7-lateral, 8-loop integrated skeletal cage body, combined with extensive high-strength steel application, achieves torsional stiffness exceeding 40,000 N·m/deg—more than double that of traditional ladder-frame off-road vehicles. Roof crush resistance reaches 5.8 times vehicle weight, withstanding over 16 tons. This high-rigidity design not only handles extreme terrains but also protects the battery pack from high-frequency torsional deformation. Additionally, the integrated frame’s lightweight advantage reduces weight by 100 kg compared to decoupled frames, contributing to a total 200 kg reduction in the Galaxy Starship 700.
The architecture also frees up space, offering 80 mm more clearance than traditional frames, increasing battery pack ground clearance and achieving a class-leading 24° longitudinal departure angle for enhanced passability. Interior space expands with up to 70 mm more vertical height, featuring the segment's only flat sill and flat floor, achieving a class-leading 80.3% space utilization rate. The innovative GTA design improves pitch and response by 3% to 9% compared to separate frames, with overall body performance improving over 30%. For instance, the Galaxy Starship 700’s 700 mm center of gravity and roll suppression are on average 21% better than traditional ladder-frame SUVs, delivering driving comfort that disrupts conventional off-road norms.
World-First Full-Drive AI Hybrid Raytheon EM-T Delivers Powerful Performance with Precision Control
Geely has developed a dedicated hybrid system for new energy off-road vehicles—the Raytheon EM-T. It features a 2.0T off-road hybrid-specific engine, a three-speed off-road hybrid-specific electric drive, and a segment-exclusive locking off-road dual-motor setup, delivering a combined system power of 830 kW and wheel torque of 13,920 N·m, making it the industry's first 1,000-horsepower three-motor off-road four-wheel drive.
The Raytheon EM-T incorporates three "soft-hard locks": front and rear axles with independent left-right rear wheel control act as two "soft locks" for real-time torque distribution, while a mechanical "hard lock" on the rear dual motors enables extreme off-road recovery. This innovative solution transforms locking from mechanical action to intelligent control, allowing flexible torque distribution from 0 to 100% across four wheels, giving the Galaxy Starship 700 a power-to-weight ratio of 392 Ps/T for confident handling across various off-road conditions.
The 2.0T off-road-specific engine achieves a world-leading 48.41% maximum thermal efficiency for mass production, paired with a three-speed DHT that optimizes first-gear off-road traction, second-gear urban commuting, and third-gear highway cruising, keeping the engine in its efficient operating range. Combined with the Xingrui AI cloud powertrain’s AI scenario engine, it precisely matches optimal oil-electric solutions, improving energy efficiency by over 15%.
World-First AI All-Terrain Digital Chassis Intelligently Adapts to Any Terrain
To make extreme off-road experiences accessible to more users, Geely introduces the world-first AI all-terrain digital chassis. Leveraging the globally first quantum-level AI electronic and electrical architecture (EEA 4.0), it features the "super cerebellum" intelligent stability control hub GVMC 3.0, supporting 9+6+X multi-terrain modes. The system uses AI to recognize upcoming road conditions and automatically switches intelligent scenario modes, adjusting torque, suspension, and body posture. It not only sees accurately, calculates quickly, and controls stably but also self-learns and self-evolves.
Thanks to the architecture’s high bandwidth, the AI all-terrain digital chassis is compatible with various suspension types. For example, with active hydraulic suspension, it enables "active obstacle crossing" through AI pre-scanning that precisely identifies pothole distances, depths, and edge shapes, dynamically controlling the suspension in real time to eliminate impacts for a smoother ride. With six self-developed core algorithms, it senses body posture in real time, achieving precise control of the active hydraulic suspension. Leveraging hardware response speeds of 50 ms and system pressure build-up capability of 150 bar, it ensures stable landings after jumps without bounce, better cornering posture, and a ride free from dizziness or sway.
"Military-Grade" All-Domain Safety System Delivers Top-Tier Protection
Intelligent and effortless off-road driving demands top-tier safety. Building on the outcomes of its All-Domain Safety 2.0 technology system, Geely follows "military-grade" standards, using the integrated frame as the skeleton and innovative designs like the 6-7-8 loop skeletal cage to create the "Star Armor Body." The occupant compartment skeleton is 100% made of ultra-high-strength and hot-formed steel. It also incorporates 11 hidden hot-gas-inflated tubes totaling 10.6 meters with strengths up to 2,200 MPa, forming the segment's only "hidden roll cage," achieving a class-leading anti-rollover index of 1.236 for "720° armored-level safety protection."
Additionally, industry-leading technologies such as the Sentry Battery Safety System, emergency floating escape mode, satellite-terrestrial connected safety assurance system, and the segment's only "diffusion-plus-nasal inhalation" dual-mode oxygen supply system ensure that new energy off-road vehicles are resistant to battery impacts, won't sink in water, stay connected in remote areas, and avoid altitude sickness, setting a new safety benchmark for new energy off-road vehicles with comprehensive protection.
