In this video, I thoroughly test the Geely Starray EM-i, a 262 hp Chinese plug-in hybrid SUV that arrives in Spain with a very clear objective: to offer a lot of car, a lot of technology, and a lot of space at a price that could give many rivals a run for their money.

I don't just stick to the technical specifications. I'll tell you who Geely is, what's behind this brand, how it wants to position itself in Spain, what it promises its customers, and what impressions this Starray leaves you with when you analyze it calmly, thoughtfully, and with a real desire to understand what kind of car you have in front of you.

I talk about its PHEV technology, its GEA platform, the EM-i system, the Short Blade battery, and a figure that really catches your eye: up to 184 km of electric range in the WLTP urban cycle, in addition to a DC fast charge that Geely advertises as going from 30% to 80% in 16 minutes.

But I'll also get to the important stuff: how it drives, what it does well, what flaws I found, its positive points, and to what extent it can become a great option for those looking for a spacious, powerful, modern family car with real ambition to compete with established models in the market.

If you were looking for information about the Geely Starray EM-i, its test drive, its technology, its driving experience, its shortcomings, its strengths, and whether it's worth it as a plug-in hybrid SUV, here's a very comprehensive, straightforward video made with both knowledge and passion.
