Geely makes a bold entry into the SUV segment with the Galaxy Cruiser 2026, blending muscular design and intelligent technology for an unparalleled driving experience. Competing directly with the Toyota Prado and Great Wall’s Tank 500, this new model delivers a suite of capabilities that redefine comfort and performance on land and water. As the first production SUV to seamlessly switch between front, rear, and all wheel drive as well as hybrid and electric modes, the Galaxy Cruiser sets a new standard for versatility.
Seamless Drive Mode Transitions
The Galaxy Cruiser features an AI enhanced drive system that monitors road conditions in real time and directs torque to the wheels with the best grip. Drivers can switch between front, rear, and all wheel drive instantly, without stopping the vehicle, via a dedicated control interface. Selecting hybrid or pure electric mode requires just the push of a button, immediately balancing power output and efficiency for extended journeys through city streets or desert trails.
Exceptional Off Road and Amphibious Performance
Designed for rugged environments, the Galaxy Cruiser can perform a “crab walk” maneuver to straddle narrow obstacles and pivot on its axis without rolling, enabling precise positioning in tight spaces. Its unique radar and sonar system allow it to float for up to two hours and travel across water at speeds up to 8.5 km/h while preserving ride comfort and stability.
Intelligent Controls and Robust Safety
Equipped with automated driving aids, the Galaxy Cruiser maintains forward momentum even with a punctured tire, thanks to reinforced run flat technology. Its self drift function executes controlled slides autonomously by continuously analyzing slip angle and speed. An AI monitoring network tracks tire pressure, brake temperature, and traction, adjusting suspension settings on the fly to ensure steady handling on sand, gravel, or rocky terrain.
Innovative Battery Architecture
Geely’s proprietary battery packs combine bullet resistant cells with multi layer protection against dents, heat, and impacts. An advanced thermal management system maintains optimal cell temperatures under demanding conditions, prolonging battery life and sustaining high performance. The SUV’s high strength unibody further enhances occupant safety, while an array of sensors monitors roll and pitch to activate safeguards during steep ascents or sudden jolts.
GCC Launch Timeline
Geely plans a global rollout of the Galaxy Cruiser later this year, with GCC markets expected to receive first deliveries early next year. Enthusiasts and industry observers are eagerly awaiting official pricing, optional luxury packages, comprehensive safety suites, and after sales service plans. By combining bold design with cutting edge technology, the Galaxy Cruiser promises to redefine expectations for modern performance SUVs.
