China is bringing sedans back, and this latest one is an exciting prospect for Australia.
The Geely Galaxy TT is a Toyota Camry-sized electric sports sedan expected to launch in China soon.
A spokesperson for Geely Australia said there was no news on the Galaxy TT from an Australian perspective yet.

The Galaxy TT is more evidence sedans are back on the agenda, potentially curbing the SUV dominance of recent years.
It will directly tackle the hugely popular Xiaomi SU7 in China, which has continued to see order numbers surge.
It could join an increasingly busy sedan segment in Australia, which is fast proving the new battleground for Chinese brands in Australia.
The Toyota Camry hybrid has been the main player of the segment for the past few years, but it is now finding itself with more company, particularly from China.
Geely’s Emgrand plug-in hybrid will be the brand’s first sedan model launching in Australia in 2027, with a fully-electric version of the car coming later.
Geely is playing catch-up on rival Chinese brands like BYD that has already introduced its Seal 6 PHEV and Seal EV sedans.
The Tesla Model 3’s resurgence is also challenging the Camry’s stronghold in the sedan market.
The Galaxy TT is generally bigger than many of its sedan rivals like the Seal and Model 3, meaning it could complement the smaller Emgrand in Geely’s portfolio.
It is roughly the same size as the BYD Seal 7 plug-in hybrid sedan that was recently approved for sale in Australia.
The Galaxy TT will be available with a single rear-mounted electric motor, producing 245kW and a dual electric motor all-wheel drive variant, with 425kW.
It has three battery choices, which are 52kWh, 64kWh and 75kWh, with a driving range of up to 725km, according to generous CLTC standards.
Other details on the car remain scarce, but we can expect more information in the coming months.
