In the past, our country's automobile industry was not developed enough, so we couldn't produce million-level models like the Maybach Mercedes-Benz S and the Land Rover Range Rover/Defender. But now, as our domestic car companies have achieved "overtaking on the curve" in the field of new energy, slowly, flagship models such as the Yangwang U8, Wenjie M9, and Xiangjie S9 have appeared on the market. Isn't this a kind of progress and improvement? It won't be long before we will welcome 3 new domestic large SUVs, of which Geely Group's models account for 2, and Chery Group also has 1 model. I wonder if your wallet is ready? Let's take a look.

The first one, Geely Galaxy Starship

Positioning: Large SUV

At the Beijing Auto Show in April this year, the large SUV Starship under Geely Galaxy was officially unveiled to the public. Although the official said at the time that the Galaxy Starship is a new technology flagship SUV prototype of Geely Galaxy developed based on the GEA architecture, through this model we can know that the new car will be officially launched soon, so are you excited in front of the screen at this moment?

In terms of appearance, Galaxy Starship adopts the original design of "Ripples of Light", which makes the front of the car look very tall and powerful. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with the same integrated luminous front face as Galaxy E8, equipped with patented micro-hole laser engraving luminous technology, which can present a variety of luminous effects such as welcoming guests, left and right flowing water, jumping flowing water, and music show.

The side profile also looks quite sturdy, with a straight waistline and raised wheel arches at the front and rear, giving the car a strong muscular feel. At the same time, the straight roofline design also provides ample headroom in the rear. The rear is tall and sturdy, and the overall look is very Mercedes-Benz GLS-like, making people look forward to the final mass-produced version.

The interior and powertrain details have not been announced yet, but it is foreseeable that the new car will use the latest generation of Thunder electric hybrid, Galaxy 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive, AI smart speakers with panoramic surround sound, AI smart seats, Galaxy AI digital elves, AI digital chassis and other top Galaxy technologies. So, if Geely's large SUV can be launched by the end of this year, how much do you think it should be priced at to be sold well?

The second model, Zeekr EX1E

Positioning: Large flagship SUV

In addition to the Geely Galaxy Starship mentioned above, Geely Group's Zeekr brand will also launch a new large flagship SUV, Zeekr EX1E, in 2025. According to rumors from the outside world, this model is known as the Hangzhou Bay Cullinan. It can be seen that the price of the new car in the future may not be cheap. Will it be sold in the price range of 400,000 to 500,000?

Judging from the spy photos that have been exposed so far, the overall shape of the Zeekr EX1E is relatively square, a bit like the Zeekr large SUV that netizens have mentioned before, which uses the design language of Zeekr 009. In addition, the rear of the car may also adopt the "heaven and earth door" opening method, and is expected to have a relatively square shape design.

In terms of power, according to Zeekr CEO An Conghui, this flagship large SUV will have two forms of power, one is conventional pure electric power, and the other is a newly developed super electric hybrid technology. This super electric hybrid technology will combine the technical advantages of pure electric, plug-in hybrid and range extension. This "super electric hybrid system" is not a traditional range extension. In the range extension mode, it can ensure a pure electric driving experience (with charging function). When driving at high speed, the engine can be directly driven to solve the pain point of high fuel consumption at high speed of traditional range extension. It is worth looking forward to.

Finally, many people outside are speculating that this Zeekr EX1E is likely to become another million-level product of a Chinese brand. Although we don’t agree with this statement, we can’t help but want to cheer for our Chinese brand’s own high-end flagship luxury SUV. In short, this large flagship SUV of Zeekr is still worth watching. Let’s wait and see its official debut.

The third model, Chery Fengyun T11

Positioning: Large SUV

Do you think Chery only makes small cars? You are totally wrong. Recently, the renderings of Chery's new large SUV Fengyun T11 were exposed online. From the content of the pictures, the new car is positioned as a large six-seater flagship SUV for families, with a length of nearly 5.2 meters and a wheelbase of more than 3.1 meters. And it should be specially noted that each row of the three rows of seats in this car is electrically adjustable to ensure that everyone in the car is in the center position. Can you bear this?

As for the appearance, the new car renderings exposed this time are mainly changed in the D-pillar area compared with the previous official pictures. From the pictures, we can see that the new car has cancelled the hidden design and replaced it with a more traditional shape, which is more majestic and heavy as a whole. In addition, we can see that the headlight shape of the new car has also been adjusted, and the traditional style door handles have been replaced, while the fog lamp area and wheel rim shape of the new car remain unchanged.

In terms of power, the Fengyun T11 will be equipped with a 1.5T DHT + 200kW rear motor four-wheel drive system, with an engine thermal efficiency of up to 44.5% and a 100km/h fuel consumption of 5.9 seconds. From this, we speculate that the new car is likely to be a plug-in hybrid model. In terms of battery life, the new car's pure electric battery life is expected to exceed 200km and the comprehensive battery life is expected to exceed 1,400km. The chassis adopts a front double wishbone and rear multi-link structure.

In general, the arrival of Fengyun T11 will undoubtedly change the current situation that Chery does not have a large SUV. For Chinese people, with the upcoming arrival of this large SUV, there will definitely be a new option for buying such a large SUV in the future. Finally, if this model can be sold at a starting price of around 200,000 yuan, would you be willing to buy it? Leave a message in the comment area.

Well, the above are the three large SUVs that our domestic car brands are about to launch. After reading their basic information, I wonder if you will be tempted to buy them? Let's discuss them in the comment area. (Text/Youshi Auto Dazhuo)
