AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Geely Auto Group unveiled the Battleship 700, its first electrified off‑road SUV, built on the new GTA platform dedicated to all‑terrain electric vehicles. The hybrid‑electric powertrain delivers up to 1,129 horsepower and a combined range of 1,700 km (1,056 miles) while an intelligent four‑wheel‑drive system manages traction. An integrated frame replaces a traditional body‑on‑frame, lowering weight, centre of gravity and cabin noise, and the rigid chassis supports a suspension that improves handling. Ultra‑high‑strength steel forms a reinforced passenger cell with a 10.6‑meter concealed rollover structure and 161 kN roof‑crush resistance. On‑board AI monitors terrain and automatically adjusts settings, and a flotation mode with submerged‑obstacle sensors aids water‑hazard emergencies. Pre‑sales began in China with deliveries slated for late 2026 and plans for export globally soon.
