This Galaxy A7 Is Not a Samsung Phone, But a Sedan With a Huge Range
We rarely cover cars sold exclusively in China, but we're willing to make an exception on occasion if there's a compelling reason. Geely's latest product meets the criteria with its unusual name, impressive driving range, and the simple fact that it's not another SUV. Roughly the same size as a Toyota Camry, this large sedan is called the Galaxy A7, a name that immediately brought to mind Samsung's namesake smartphone from a few years back. Side note: Samsung actually made cars in Korea through a joint venture with Renault. Beyond the unexpected Samsung connection, the Galaxy A7 also evokes thoughts of the Audi A7. In China, Audi offers two versions of its luxury car: the familiar A7 Sportback, a five-door liftback built by FAW, and the lesser-known A7L sedan , which features a traditional trunk. The latter is built by Audi's other local partner, SAIC. Geely's A7 looks upscale enough to compete with cars bearing the fabled Four Rings. It's sold as a Geely Galaxy, a recently launched sub-brand focused on plug-in hybrids and EVs. Photo by: Geely Although our Chinese may be a bit rusty, one detail about the car stood out: a driving range of more than 2,100 kilometers (1,305 miles) on a full tank and a fully charged battery. It's an impressive figure, though it's worth noting it's based on the lenient China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC). The Galaxy A7 is a plug-in hybrid that pairs a small 1.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine with an electric motor. Geely claims a combined fuel consumption of just 2 liters per 100 kilometers, a whopping 117.6 miles per gallon. Reports from China indicate Geely will offer the Galaxy A7 with multiple lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery options, supplied by CALB and CATL. The largest will be an 18.99-kWh pack, enabling an electric-only range of 75 miles (120 kilometers), again based on the CLTC standard. In terms of size, the car measures 193.6 inches (4918 mm) in length, 75 inches (1905 mm) in width, and 58.8 inches (1495 mm) in height, with a generous 112 inches (2845 mm) wheelbase. It ticks nearly all the boxes for 2025 car trends: front and rear light bars, a massive center screen, and minimal physical controls. The Galaxy A7 comes with 17- to 19-inch wheels and weighs up to 3,825 pounds (1,735 kilograms) in its heaviest configuration. Geely Galaxy A7 Photo by: Geely While not yet official, reports suggest the electrified sedan will start at around 100,000 yuan, rising to 130,000 yuan for the top-tier version. That translates to around $14,000–$18,000, highlighting just how far ahead China is in minimizing production costs while still turning a profit. The Galaxy A7 will be manufactured by the company that owns multiple brands, including Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, Lynk & Co, Zeekr, and Farizon. Geely also owns half of Smart, 49.9% of Proton, 17% of Aston Martin, and a 9.69% stake in Mercedes, through its founder and chairman, Li Shufu.

Nearly 20,000 Volkswagen workers take voluntary redundancy while others could work a 4-day week amid overhaul
Around 20,000 Volkswagen workers in Germany have so far agreed to take voluntary redundancy as part of a major overhaul aimed at cutting costs, the struggling auto titan said Tuesday. Europe's biggest carmaker, hit by fierce competition in its key market of China and a stuttering shift to electric vehicles, struck a deal with unions last year for massive job cuts in its home market. Some 20,000 workers had so far accepted redundancy offers, out of a total of 35,000 due to be shed by 2030 under the agreement, the 10-brand group said. The total figure represents a quarter of the Volkswagen brand's workforce. The jobs are being cut at the carmaker's core Volkswagen brand, and amount to about 30 percent of its workforce in Germany. Volkswagen plans to slash capacity by over 700,000 units, while its other brands, including Audi and Porsche, have also been trimming costs by cutting thousands of jobs. The redundancies and retirements, as opposed to layoffs, to meet Volkswagen's headcount reduction target are due to strong German labor laws that make it harder to dismiss employees en masse. 'We are on track,' VW board board member Gunnar Kilian said at a meeting with staff at the company's historic headquarters in Wolfsburg, western Germany. He said the 'socially responsible' job cuts as well as reductions in factory costs added up to 'measurable progress.' Volkswagen dropped a bombshell last year when it said it was mulling closing factories in Germany for the first time in its history. But after months of talks with unions and a series of walkouts, it decided against shuttering any plants, instead striking the agreement to cut jobs through voluntary redundancies. The Volkswagen brand has grappled with overinvestment and low returns on its electric vehicles, prompting a slew of changes. While the German auto giant navigates an overhaul within the company, it might also have staff working fewer days from 2027 onwards. As part of restructuring efforts, Wolfsburg, Volkswagen's biggest plant, could turn to a four-day workweek as it focuses only on EV production, works council head Daniela Cavallo said on Tuesday, according to Reuters. 'We have to make provisions now so that we can draw on them later … From 2027 onwards, a temporary four-day week is not an unreasonable scenario,' Cavallo told workers.
