Geely Galaxy issues compensation for Starship 7 chip controversy

Geely Galaxy has released an official response regarding concerns from owners of the 2025 Galaxy Starship 7 regarding its cockpit chip configuration. The company explained that two cockpit platforms, E02 and E04 (Longying No. 1), were planned during the development phase to support different levels of assisted driving capabilities.

Currently, all versions of the 2025 Galaxy Starship 7 on sale are equipped with the E02 platform. The E04 version, originally intended for certain models, has had its launch delayed to the fourth quarter of 2025 to ensure the assisted driving experience meets brand expectations. Geely Galaxy has initiated a technical assessment to determine if E02 platform owners can upgrade to the E04 platform; if feasible, the company will announce upgrade details, costs, and protection policies.

To compensate 2025 Galaxy Starship 7 owners, Geely is offering two main benefits starting November 15, 2026: an additional five-year warranty for cockpit-related components and exclusive repurchase incentives. These incentives include a 10,000 yuan discount voucher for upgrading to specific Starship 7 models and a 3,000 yuan Geely Group voucher for purchasing other brands within the group.
