In China, it seems they have decided to no longer compete in electric vehicle speed or range. Now the main discipline is how many people can be stuffed into a minivan. And the new Geely Galaxy V900 managed it so well that it made it into the Guinness Book of Records: 42 people officially fit inside its cabin.
Yes, this is reality. 42 dancers with an average height of 170 cm were loaded into the all-wheel-drive MPV with an EREV hybrid powertrain — and the doors were even able to close. Geely Galaxy themselves have already posted a video of this automotive Tetris.
The Galaxy V900 has a record-breaking 8.41 m² of interior space for its class and a space utilization coefficient of 91.8%. A meter between the seat rows, a maximally rectangular cabin, and, it seems, an engineering belief in human flexibility — all of this made the record possible.
The model is the EREV version of the already familiar LEVC L380. The V900 debuted on November 21 at the Guangzhou Auto Show 2025, but the record was actually set back on October 27 — they were just waiting for the right moment to announce it beautifully.
But it’s worth mentioning the context: in 2015, 41 people were squeezed into a Toyota RAV4, and 50 into a Volkswagen Camper. So, they fell a bit short of the absolute segment record.
But the fact remains: the Galaxy V900 is a minivan where you can hold a homeowners’ association meeting, a corporate party, and a ballet rehearsal simultaneously. The Chinese have once again done something that is difficult to explain but impossible not to discuss.
