Geely Battleship 700 SUV sees massive initial orders

Geely has seen significant early demand for its new Battleship 700 (Zhanjian 700), a plug-in hybrid SUV (PHEV). Following its introduction, the vehicle secured over 10,000 firm orders within just 12 minutes, following a pre-sale campaign that drew 43,900 registrations.

Built on the specialized GTA platform for new energy off-road vehicles, the Battleship 700 features a rugged, boxy design. It offers high-performance configurations, including a top-tier variant pairing a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with three electric motors, producing up to 1,113 horsepower.

The vehicle is designed for heavy-duty capabilities, including an 800mm wading depth, air suspension, and a physical drive shaft with a fluid-coupled locking mechanism to manage torque during wheel slips. With dimensions measuring approximately 5,085mm in length, it is positioned as a competitor to established models such as the Toyota Land Cruiser and BYD’s Fangchengbao series.
