The Geely Galaxy M9 remains a genuinely disruptive 6-seat PHEV SUV — up to 859 hp, 1,500 km combined CLTC range, and a cabin that punches well above its price bracket. What's changed since our original coverage: the aggressive launch discount that got the M9 into headlines at $24,470 expired on October 31, 2025. This article's source video, filmed on a current 2026-VIN showroom unit, shows pricing back at the pre-discount level — from $27,300 to roughly $37,000 across four trims. We're also correcting a cargo-volume figure from our original article: the real number is 328 litres, not 528.
Performance & Specs
The range-topping Pilot Edition triple-motor AWD trim produces 640 kW (859 hp) and roughly 1,100-1,165 Nm of torque (the reviewer's on-camera figure and our original article's stored spec differ slightly; we've shown both rather than picking one), for a 4.5-second 0-100 km/h time and a 200 km/h top speed. Lower trims use a 1.5L turbo engine paired with single or dual electric motors. A smaller 18.4 kWh battery gives the entry trim 100 km of EV-only CLTC range, while the 41.46 kWh pack used on mid and top trims extends that to 230 km — both combine with the range extender for up to 1,500 km total CLTC range. The reviewed unit's fuel tank holds 60 litres, with a claimed 5.7 L/100 km consumption once the battery is depleted — both figures newly confirmed on-camera and not in our original article.

Dimensions & Practicality
| Length | 5,205 mm |
|---|---|
| Width | 1,999 mm |
| Height | 1,800 mm |
| Wheelbase | 3,030 mm |
Correction from our original article: cargo volume with all six seats in place is 328 litres, not the 528 litres we originally published — confirmed independently both by the reviewer in this article's source video and by an unrelated spec aggregator. Folding the second and third rows expands that to roughly 2,100-2,171 litres. Dimensions otherwise carry over unchanged: 5,205 mm long on a 3,030 mm wheelbase.
| LENGTH | 5,205 mm |

| WIDTH | 1,999 mm |
| HEIGHT | 1,800 mm |
| WHEELBASE | 3,030 mm |
| CARGO VOLUME | 328 L (corrected), up to ~2,100 L seats folded |
| SEATING | 6 (2+2+2 captain's chairs) |
Design & Interior
The reviewed demo unit wore a dark green/black finish with full-LED daytime running lights, LED headlights with high/low beam, and an active front grille. The cabin pairs a 30-inch OLED central display with a separate driver cluster, HUD, and a second-row entertainment screen, plus a leather-wrapped steering wheel and captain's chairs front and rear. A rear-mounted refrigerator and dual high-speed wireless chargers round out the family-focused feature set.
Technology & Features
The voice assistant and infotainment system do not have an English-language option out of the box on this unit — unlike a recently-reviewed Deepal S09 demo unit from the same partner channel, which did ship with a full English interface. The reviewer notes his export service can localize the M9's interface to English for a fee. The top Pilot Edition trim adds roof-mounted LiDAR for urban Navigate-on-Autopilot; lower trims rely on camera/radar-based driver assistance only.

Pricing & Availability
Here's the story behind the price move: at launch (September 2025), Geely offered a limited-time 10,000 CNY discount on every M9 trim, valid through October 31, 2025 — that promotion is what put our original article's $24,470-$33,640 pricing into headlines. This article's source video, filmed on a car with a 2026 VIN, shows the standard (post-promotion) pricing: $27,300 to roughly $37,000 — both figures line up closely with the pre-discount list prices Geely originally announced. We're showing this as the current, most likely-accurate pricing, though we could not find a Chinese-language source explicitly confirming the exact current 2026 price list trim-by-trim, so treat individual mid-tier figures as approximate. This is not a new model-year price hike so much as a promotional period simply ending.
How It Compares
Even at its post-promotion price, the M9 still undercuts the Li Auto L9 by more than half while offering a longer EV-only range on its top trims than the L9's base configuration. Against our recently-covered Deepal S09 — another 6-seat range-extended SUV — the M9's entry trim is actually now the cheaper of the two, though the S09 offers more EV-only range on its base pack (220 km vs. the M9's 100 km entry option). The segment is getting genuinely competitive at this price point.
- Still dramatically cheaper than the Li Auto L9 despite the promo ending, with up to 859 hp and 1,500 km combined range
- Confirmed rear refrigerator, dual wireless chargers, and a genuinely spacious 2+2+2 cabin
- LiDAR-equipped Pilot Edition brings urban NOA to a segment that often skips it at this price
- 328L cargo (corrected from our earlier, wrong 528L figure) still expands to ~2,100L with seats folded
- Launch discount has ended — expect to pay closer to $27,300 than the $24,470 headline figure from most 2025 coverage
- No English-language interface out of the box on this unit, unlike some recent rivals from the same review channel
- Base trim's 100 km EV-only range trails segment leaders like the Li L9's 280 km
- No official international sales channel confirmed; overseas buyers rely on independent export services
The Galaxy M9's underlying value proposition hasn't weakened even with the promo gone — it's still a flagship-feeling 6-seat PHEV SUV at a fraction of what Li Auto or AITO charge for something comparable. Buyers should just budget for the real, post-promotion price rather than the headline figure that circulated at launch.
