Geely has pulled the covers off the Starshine 6, the latest addition to its Galaxy sub-brand, releasing the first official images ahead of its market debut. The sedan will sit just below the Galaxy A7 in the line-up, which was launched earlier this year with a price bracket of 81,800 to 117,800 yuan (around RM53,000 to RM77,000).
Visually, the Starshine 6 follows Geely’s familiar “Galaxy Ripple” design philosophy. The front end carries a large polygonal grille with vertically arranged chrome strips, framed by a secondary lower grille and sharp, angular headlamps. The overall impression has drawn comparisons to styling cues often seen on German marques.
At the rear, the car adopts a layered full-width taillight signature, complemented by a subtle roof spoiler and a dual-tone bumper finished in either silver or black. Customers will have a choice of 16-inch or 17-inch wheels, along with options such as a sunroof. Unlike many of today’s EV-inspired models, Geely has opted for traditional door handles instead of the increasingly popular flush-fit design.
In terms of size, the Starshine 6 measures 4,806 mm in length, 1,886 mm in width and 1,490 mm in height, riding on a 2,756 mm wheelbase, making it slightly bigger than the current generation Honda Civic. Curb weight varies between 1,505 kg and 1,580 kg depending on specification.
Under the skin, the Starshine 6 is expected to feature Geely’s latest Thor EM-i super hybrid system, the same unit already available in the Galaxy A7. Certification filings with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) confirm the car will be powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine producing 110hp, paired with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack supplied by CALB-Tech. Two battery options will be offered — 8.5 kWh and 17 kWh — delivering a pure-electric driving range of around 50 km and 100 km, respectively, likely under WLTC testing conditions.
The sedan’s top speed has been rated at 180km/h. However, Geely has yet to release full technical details of the electric motor output or the combined driving range.
With its blend of sleek styling, competitive dimensions and the latest iteration of Geely’s hybrid system, the Starshine 6 is expected to appeal to buyers seeking an affordable yet advanced entry into electrified motoring.
