Geely Galaxy M9 Black Gold Edition Hits the Market: Luxury Redefined with Advanced Thor-U Chip

Geely’s high-end NEV (New Energy Vehicle) range, Galaxy, has officially launched its flagship limited version—the Geely Galaxy M9 Black Gold Edition. Positioned as a luxury large 6-seater SUV, this new edition brings not only a striking aesthetic upgrade but also a massive leap in computing power and autonomous driving capabilities.

Pricing and Exclusive Benefits

The Galaxy M9 Black Gold Edition is priced at 269,800 RMB, with a limited-time launch price of 259,800 RMB. To sweeten the deal for early adopters, Geely is offering a comprehensive benefits package valued at up to 78,000 RMB (available until May 31), which includes:

5,000 RMB purchase tax subsidy & 5,000 RMB insurance subsidy.
Complimentary 27-speaker Flyme Sound audio system.
Lifetime free NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) services.
Up to 10,000 RMB trade-in subsidy.

Exquisite “Black & Gold” Design Language

The most striking feature of this edition is the “Xuan Ye Liu Jin” (Mystic Night Gold) dual-tone paint job.

Aesthetic: The deep black body is accented with rose gold detailing on the brand emblems, upper window lines, and trim strips. Unlike traditional wraps, this is a factory-grade paint process offering a premium texture.
Aerodynamics: It features exclusive 21-inch “Hexagram” wheels. The offset spoke design isn’t just for show—it reduces the drag coefficient (Cd) by 0.003 compared to the standard model.
Dimensions: It retains the spacious profile of the standard M9, measuring 5205/1999/1800mm with a 3030mm wheelbase.

Next-Gen Interior & Smart Cockpit

Inside, the cabin is upgraded with the “Nebula Red” color scheme and premium Alcantara roof lining.

Display: A massive 12.66-inch LCD instrument cluster paired with a 30-inch integrated infotainment screen.
System: Running on Flyme Auto 2.3, it features 3D full-scene navigation and an AR-HUD that integrates environmental perception with lane-level guidance.
Luxury Touches: The “Galaxy Wave” door trim and sweat-resistant, temperature-neutral materials ensure a high-end tactile experience in both summer and winter.

Industry-Leading Intelligence: The Thor-U Chip

The true soul of the Black Gold Edition lies in its hardware. It is the first in the Galaxy lineup to feature the Thor-U chip, boasting a staggering 700 TOPS of computing power.

Smart Driving: Powered by the Qianli Haohan H7 system and the AI BOX (built on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX), the computing power is 3.5 times higher than the standard H5 system.
Capabilities: With 31 sensors (including LiDAR), the vehicle supports Mapless City NOA and “Door-to-Door” navigation. It can autonomously navigate multi-level parking garages, pass through ETC gates, and handle complex scenarios like narrow alleys and mixed pedestrian-vehicle traffic.
AI Agent Services: Includes proactive safety features like AI Start-up Reminders, AI Sentry Mode (mobile alerts), and AI Child Care (monitoring second-row safety).

Performance and Powertrain

While full specs will be detailed at the upcoming Auto Show, the Black Gold Edition continues Geely’s advanced PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid) strategy. Based on the current M9 lineup, two variants are expected:

1.5T + Single Motor (3-speed DHT): Combined power of 300kW, with a total range reaching up to 1,505km (CLTC).
1.5T + Triple Motors (3-speed DHT): A powerhouse delivering 640kW, designed for those who crave performance without range anxiety.

Editor’s Verdict

The Geely Galaxy M9 Black Gold Edition is more than just a cosmetic package. By integrating cross-generational smart driving hardware and ultra-luxury materials, Geely is signaling its ambition to dominate the high-end SUV market. This model perfectly caters to tech-savvy families who refuse to compromise on either luxury or intelligent safety.
