The Geely Galaxy Starshine 6 (Chinese: 吉利银河星耀6; pinyin: Jílì Yínhe Xīngyào 6) is a plug-in hybrid mid-size sedan manufactured by Geely Auto under the Geely Galaxy marque.

Overview

[edit]

The Starshine 6 is positioned as a plug-in hybrid version of the fifth-generation Geely Emgrand. Its dimensions are similar to that of the Geely Galaxy L6. It went on sale on October 2nd, 2025, with 5 trim levels available.[1]

Design and features

[edit]

The Starshine 6 uses a chrome-plated grille and headlights reminiscent of the mainline Geely models, with news outlets likening it to Mercedes-AMG models.[2][3][4] A decently-sized air intake is present on the Starshine 6 alongside a light bar at the back. It uses traditional door handles like the L7 and Starship 7. The Starshine 6 is expected to come with 16 and 17 inch wheels.[5]

The interior of the Starshine 6 uses a 10.2-inch dashboard with a 14.6-inch central touchscreen running Flyme Auto.[6]

Powertrain and chassis

[edit]

The Starshine 6 adopts the EM-i 2.0 AI Hybrid system pairing a 1.5 liter naturally aspirated inline 4 known as the BHE15-BFN that produces 110 horsepower. No information about the electric motor is known, however the peak output of the electric motor in other models using the EM-i 2.0 AI Hybrid system is 235 horsepower. The battery is an 8.5 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery produced by CALB. The electric range of the Starshine 6 is 100 kilometers or 62 miles.[7]

The engine is shared with the Galaxy A7.[5]

The Starshine 6 uses MacPherson struts for the front suspension and a torsion beam axle for the rear suspension.[1]
