Geely has unveiled a sportier version of their popular Galaxy L6 compact plug-in hybrid sedan. Spotted in China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s recent vehicle announcements, the “Sports Edition” L6 boasts a head-turning design and impressive performance specs.

The car goes from 0-100 kmph in 6.3 seconds with a top speed of 247 kmph.

The Sports Edition L6 sheds its standard guise for a more aggressive look. Vibrant orange or light yellow paint options instantly grab attention, while black accents on the bumpers and side skirts add a touch of menace. A fixed rear spoiler completes the sporty aesthetic. The car further emphasizes its performance aspirations with sleek black rims and contrasting red or yellow brake calipers.

The Galaxy L6 Sports Edition isn’t just about looks. It’s powered by Geely’s next-generation Thor electric hybrid 8848 system. This powerhouse combines a 1.5T hybrid engine with a 3-speed variable frequency electric drive DHT Pro. The result? A thrilling 0-to-100 km/h acceleration time of just 6.3 seconds and a top speed of 247 km/h.

But performance doesn’t come at the expense of efficiency. The Sports Edition L6 boasts a pure electric range of 125 km and a combined driving range of a staggering 1370 km. Additionally, it delivers an impressive fuel consumption rating of just 4.55 liters per 100 kilometers.

The L6 Sports Edition offers drivers a variety of driving modes to suit their needs. Choose from pure electric for emissions-free city driving, extended range for longer journeys, intelligent mode for a balanced experience, or performance mode to unleash the car’s full potential. Additionally, the car boasts 20 intelligent driving modes that adapt to various road conditions.

While official pricing for the Sports Edition L6 hasn’t been announced yet, the standard Galaxy L6 currently starts at a competitive 99,800 yuan (limited-time offer) thanks to a recent hybrid series discount. This positions Geely’s sporty offering as an attractive option for drivers seeking performance and style without breaking the bank.
