Geely Starray EM-i Sets Guinness-Verified Fuel-Efficiency Mark on SydneyMelbourne Run

The real‑world figure is now central to Geely’s EM‑i marketing push, prompting Australian evaluation of the extended‑range model.

Overview

  • Guinness World Records adjudicators verified the Starray EM‑i’s 1,056 km SydneyMelbourne coastal drive at 3.83 L/100 km completed on December 9–10.
  • The record was set using a production SUV fitted with a 29.8 kWh battery, while Australian showroom models currently use an 18.4 kWh pack.
  • Geely Auto Australia says the extended‑range 29.8 kWh variant is under consideration for local sale following the verified run.
  • The route along the Princes Highway was chosen to reflect everyday conditions, with continuous documentation and independent oversight throughout the drive.
  • Geely says the result undercuts the model’s 4.4 L/100 km NEDC figure and is leveraging the record to promote its EM‑i Super Hybrid as global sales reach 114,185 units through November.
