Performance & Powertrain: Triple-Motor Electric AWD
Engine and Hybrid Architecture
Under the hood, the Galaxy M9 employs a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine (model BHE15-CFZ) producing 163 PS (120 kW) at 5,000 rpm and 255 N·m of torque between 2,500–3,500 rpm. This internal combustion engine functions primarily as a range extender and high-speed cruising partner within the PHEV system.
The engine features:
- Aluminum alloy cylinder head and block
- DOHC valvetrain with 4 valves per cylinder
- Direct fuel injection
- 92# gasoline compatibility
- Transverse mount layout
Triple-Motor Electric Drive
The true performance highlight of the Galaxy M9 is its triple-motor electric drive system:
| Motor Position | Max Power | Max Torque |
|---|---|---|
| Front Motor | 180 kW | 350 N·m |
| Rear Motor | 340 kW | 560 N·m |
| Total Motor Output | 520 kW (707 PS) | 910 N·m |
Both motors are permanent magnet synchronous units, arranged in a front + rear layout. When combined with the engine output, the system delivers a staggering 640 kW (870 PS) of combined power and 1,165 N·m of combined torque.
This output propels the Galaxy M9 from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds — putting it firmly in performance SUV territory, competitive with vehicles costing significantly more.
Transmission: 3-Speed DHT
The power is managed by a 3-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT), which optimizes power delivery across low-speed EV driving, mid-speed hybrid cruising, and high-speed highway operation. This is more sophisticated than the single-speed transmissions found in many extended-range EVs, offering superior efficiency across diverse driving conditions.
Range, Battery & Charging
Pure Electric Range
The Galaxy M9’s 41.46 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery — sourced from CATL and equipped with Geely’s proprietary Aegis Battery safety technology — delivers:
- CLTC Pure Electric Range: 210 km
- WLTC Pure Electric Range: 170 km
These figures place the M9 among the top tier of PHEVs for daily zero-emission commuting capability. Most drivers can complete their daily errands and commutes on pure electric power alone.
Combined Range
When the fuel tank (60-liter capacity) and battery work together:
- CLTC Total Range: 1,300 km
- WLTC Total Range: 1,130 km
This effectively eliminates range anxiety — a full tank and a full charge can take you from Shanghai to Beijing without refueling.
Fuel Efficiency
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| WLTC Combined Fuel Consumption | 0.63 L/100km |
| CLTC Fuel Consumption (Lowest Charge State) | 5.5 L/100km |
| WLTC Fuel Consumption (Lowest Charge State) | 6.25 L/100km |
| Combined Fuel & Electric Consumption | 3.29 L/100km |
| Energy Consumption | 22.9 kWh/100km |
These efficiency numbers are remarkably low for a vehicle of this size and performance capability.
Charging Capabilities
- DC Fast Charging: 30% to 80% in 0.25 hours (15 minutes) at compatible fast-charging stations
- Charging Port Location: Both AC and DC ports on the left rear side of the vehicle
- V2L (Vehicle-to-Load): 6 kW AC and 6 kW DC external discharge — sufficient to power camping equipment, tools, or even another EV in an emergency
- Battery Cooling: Direct cooling system for optimal thermal management during high-power charging and discharging
Dimensions & Exterior Design
Size and Proportions
| Dimension | Measurement |
|---|---|
