Geely Auto Group will unveil a new model for the Galaxy lineup at the upcoming 2024 Beijing auto show in response to increasing competition.

A tech flagship SUV for the Galaxy array will be unveiled on the first day of the Beijing auto show on April 25, Geely announced today.

The automaker didn't provide any more details, but shared an image of the model showing that it could be a large SUV.

The 2024 Beijing auto show will be held from April 25-May 4, with press days from April 25-26 and public days from April 27-May 4.

Galaxy is Geely's new product array launched on February 23, 2023, to target the mainstream plug-in hybrid and pure-play electric vehicle (EV) markets.

Geely plans to launch a cumulative total of seven models in the Galaxy lineup by 2025, including four plug-in hybrid models in the L-Series and three pure electric models in the E-Series, it said last February.
