Design and interior
Geely presents the STARRAY EM‑i as a modern C‑segment SUV with interior packaging focused on practicality: a long wheelbase and a large cargo bay (528 L seats up) underline the family and long‑trip intentions. The model photos and manufacturer materials highlight a contemporary cabin with Flyme Auto infotainment and over‑the‑air updates.
Technology and drive
The EM‑i uses a series/parallel hybrid architecture combining a 1.5‑litre petrol engine and a 160 kW electric motor for a 193 kW system output. Two LFP battery sizes (18.4 and 29.8 kWh) enable an unusually long electric WLTP range for a PHEV (83–136 km) and a combined WLTP range beyond 1,000 km. Features include Vehicle‑to‑Load (V2L) and Vehicle‑to‑Vehicle (V2V) functions, OTA updates and DC charging capability (manufacturer lists up to 78 kW in Germany; Austria lists 30–60 kW by trim).

Competitors (Germany & Austria)
Geely positions the STARRAY EM‑i against established C‑segment plug‑in hybrids such as the Hyundai Tucson PHEV, Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid, Kia Sportage PHEV and Škoda Kodiaq iV (and other C‑segment PHEV SUVs). For buyers in Germany and Austria the STARRAY EM‑i's selling points are its long electric WLTP range, low combined fuel consumption figures and generous warranty; dealers will need to emphasise real‑world electric range, charging performance and the launch pricing/bonus packages versus incumbent rivals.
