Geely Battleship 700: The 1,113-HP Off-Roader With Propellers, Sonar and Its Own Oxygen System

Key Takeaways

What Is the Geely Battleship 700, and Why Does It Look So Familiar?

It is a boxy plug-in hybrid off-roader from Geely Galaxy. It is based on the Geely Galaxy Cruiser concept and was renamed Battleship for production. The Geely design team had drawn inspiration from the Defender, Bronco and G-Wagen. The Battleship 700 headlights seems to echo the eyes of Chinese New Year dragon puppets.

How Does 1,113 Horsepower Come With Over 1,700 km of Range?

It uses Geely’s Thor EM-T system, with a 1.5T (161 hp) or 2.0T (215 hp) engine and a tri-motor all-wheel-drive setup on the higher trims. In the top 2.0T version, the reviewer says the engine mostly acts as a generator for the three motors. Two motors are at the rear and one at the front.

Here is the consolidated final specification sheet merging all details from the original specs and the updated performance/range data:

How Much Does It Cost, and What Does the Cheapest Version Really Get You?

Can It Really Move Across Water?

What About the Oxygen System?

The car can compress oxygen from the air into tanks under the cargo floor. This supports travel above 6,000 m, with oxygen released through the air conditioning or a nose piece. The YouTube video at the end of this article covers this topic in detail.

How Capable Is It Off-Road?

• Clearance: 230–233 mm, depending on source and suspension setting.
• Wading: Up to 800 mm is quoted for overseas versions.
• Hardware: A mechanical rear locking differential, which helps because independent motors cannot share torque between wheels on their own.
• Test results: In an organized drive event the Geely Battleship 700 successfully climbs to 48° slope

Australia: When and What Do We Know?

Geely previewed the Battleship 700 at Sydney’s Everything Electric Show from September 18 to 20. Geely plans to launch Battleship 700 in Australia in 2nd half of year 2027. Final pricing and specifications will come closer to arrival.

USA: Why It Isn’t Coming (Yet)

There are no announced US plans. The larger issue is regulation: a federal rule already bans Chinese-owned automakers from selling connected vehicles in the US. Congress is also weighing the Connected Vehicle Security Act, which the Senate Commerce Committee approved on July 22, 2026. That bill has not become law.
