Overview

• The Starray EM-i becomes Geely’s second model in Australia after the EX5, entering the crowded mid-size SUV segment.
• Local pricing starts at $37,490 plus on-road costs for the Complete grade, rising to $39,990 for the Inspire.
• Its plug-in hybrid setup pairs a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with an electric motor and an 18.4kWh battery, claiming 2.4L/100km, 83km EV range and 0–100km/h in 8.0 seconds.
• The Inspire trim includes 19-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, a power tailgate and a 16-speaker, 1000-watt Flyme audio system.
• The review notes a spacious cabin with large screens but criticizes an overly firm, sometimes uncontrolled ride and unremarkable design.
