In terms of body size, the new car has a length, width, and height of 4740/1905/1685mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2755mm. It is worth mentioning that its drag coefficient is 0.288. At the rear, the new car adopts a through-type taillight design, which has a good recognition when lit, and the lower surround adopts a hidden exhaust layout, which is very simple overall.

Differences from Geely Galaxy L7
Simply put, Galaxy L7 comes from the e-CMA architecture, and its Raytheon electric hybrid 8848 uses a 1.5T engine + P1 + P2 motor + 3-speed DHT transmission, with more outstanding performance. The Starship 7 EM-i, on the other hand, comes from the GEA pure electric exclusive architecture, and its Raytheon EM-i super electric hybrid uses a 1.5L engine + P1 + P3 motor + single-speed DHT transmission, with more economical fuel consumption. Of course, there are also many differences in configuration details between the two.
