If you walked past the Geely stand at the Guangzhou Auto Show this year, you probably would have expected a sensible family mover or a practical people carrier. What you would not expect is a minivan that just set a Guinness World Record for cramming in forty two humans. Yet that is exactly what the Galaxy V900 has done, and Geely is more than happy to show the world the footage.

A People Mover That Can Really Move People

Geely’s new V900 is the extended range version of the LEVC L380, although the V900 has clearly decided that it wants its own spotlight. Before the model even reached showrooms, Geely brought together forty two professional dancers and challenged them to fit inside its cabin. They did. All of them!. On video!.

According to Geely, the record was officially achieved in late October but was kept under wraps until the V900’s debut at the 2025 Guangzhou Auto Show. The group of dancers had an average height of about one hundred and seventy centimetres, making the result even more entertaining and slightly unbelievable. The cabin’s total usable area of 8.41 square metres and its unusually efficient floor plan allowed the stunt to happen without anyone needing to be a contortionist.

To put the achievement in context, a Toyota RAV4 once fit forty one people and a classic Volkswagen campervan managed fifty. So while the V900 now sits in the record books for the MPV category, it joins a long tradition of automakers proving that humans are weirdly flexible when a Guinness official is watching.

A Massive Cabin Wrapped in a Clean, Modern Shell

The V900 is definitely not a small vehicle. It stretches over five point three metres long, sits nearly two metres wide, and stands tall enough to make its presence known in any carpark. The design keeps a short nose and a long, flat roof which immediately signals how much space is hiding inside.

Geely offers the V900 in two interior setups. One is built for comfort with three rows and six seats that look ideal for long trips. The other pushes capacity to eight seats thanks to a fourth row that folds flat into a recessed floor section. Even the boot changes dramatically depending on the layout. The six seat version provides a generous nine hundred and nineteen millimetres of loading depth while the eight seat version leaves three hundred and forty seven millimetres when all seats are up, but that flat folding final row can open up space very quickly.

Buyers can choose eighteen or twenty inch wheels, and optional powered side steps make climbing in a little easier.

EREV Powertrain With Solid Range

Under the bonnet sits a one point five litre turbocharged petrol generator. It does not drive the wheels directly. Its job is to keep the batteries topped up. Geely offers two battery options with capacities of 43.3 kWh and 50 kWh. These give between 165 and 202 kilometres of pure electric driving under CLTC testing. When the battery runs out, fuel consumption sits at roughly seven litres per hundred kilometres.

Geely has not yet published full motor outputs or pricing, although given the LEVC L380’s market position, the V900 is expected to target families, ride share operators and commercial buyers who value space above all else.
