Muddy Stilettos' Suffolk & Cambs ed, Holly Treacy-West tries out the Geely Starray EM-i.
Find out what she thought here:
"From the outside, the Starray EM-i has real road presence. Its broad rear profile gives it a confident, planted stance, while the sleek LED tail lights – which look equally striking in daylight and after dark – add a contemporary, high-tech finish that turns heads without trying too hard."
"Where to even start [with the tech]. The centrepiece is a large touchscreen around the size of an iPad, from which you can control pretty much everything: lights, driving assistance, battery management and in-car entertainment. It’s crisp, intuitive and genuinely easy to use."
"Visibility is another real highlight: something I wasn’t expecting to rave about, but here we are. The light, wrap-around windows meant I felt completely aware of everything around me, which makes the whole drive a more relaxed, enjoyable experience."
"Good for: Drivers who want a genuinely luxurious, tech-packed PHEV that’s as smooth on country lanes as it is on the school run. The visibility, the comfort, the voice control, the rest mode – this car thinks of everything."

Auto Social UK Reviews the Geely Starray EM-i
Tish from Auto Social UK took the Starray EM-i out for a drive, so let's see what she thought. Even before taking it out, she said she quite likes the name!
"This is a plug-in hybrid aimed at people who like the idea of driving on electric power but want the reassurance and flexibility of a petrol engine in the background."
"The price alone puts pressure on its rivals."
"The larger battery is one of the longest electric ranges that you'll find for any plug in hybrid currently on sale. The availability of DC fast charging is also a real plus for the plug-in hybrid - makes [charging] genuinely realistic rather than just theoretical."
"I really like the mix of materials in the interior. It prioritises comfort, it's very smooth and has a real ease of use."
"Massive screen, really crisp, really clear, set out like a mobile phone with loads of functions."
