The rear design features a short-trunk fastback silhouette, enhancing its sporty character. Unlike traditional full-width taillights, the Galaxy Xingyao 8 EM adopts a sleek, tapering taillight design that converges toward the center, interrupted by the "GEELY" logo before angling upward, delivering a striking visual effect.

Inside, the cabin boasts over 85% soft-touch materials, with class-leading microfiber suede coverage. The VIP executive electric seat offers the longest seat cushion, largest sliding range, and greatest reclining angle in its class, along with ventilation, heating, and massage functions. A 23-speaker Flyme Sound system ensures an immersive audio experience.

Powering the Galaxy Xingyao 8 EM is Geely's NordThor EM-P hybrid system, the same high-performance setup used in Lynk & Co models. It delivers a combined torque of 605Nm, achieving 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 6 seconds, while maintaining exceptional fuel efficiency at 3.67L/100km.

On the technology front, the new model comes standard with the G-Pilot H1 advanced intelligent driving system, offering highway and elevated road NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) functions. Higher-spec trims also feature LiDAR sensors, further enhancing its smart driving capabilities.
