The Geely Starray, a four-door, five-passenger luxury SUV from Chinese automaker Geely, combines high-end features with affordability. With a starting price of about $16,000 USD in China, and approximately $27,000 if sold in the United States, the Starray challenges the notion that luxury must come with a hefty price tag. As the parent company of Volvo, Polestar, and Lotus, Geely leverages its expertise in luxury design and technology to deliver a vehicle with sophisticated interior features, including a Squircle-style steering wheel, ambient lighting, and a large vertical center screen reminiscent of those found in higher-priced Volvo and Polestar models.

Despite its attractive price point, the Geely Starray is not available for sale in the United States due to trade policies. The Starray's interior is designed with modern aesthetics and functionality in mind, featuring a low-set driver display to keep the driver's line of vision clear, a head-up display, and a glass-topped gear selector that adds a touch of elegance to the driving experience.

The Starray's comfortable interior, advanced technology, and overall quality make it an incredible deal for those who can access it. This vehicle stands out in the competitive EV market, showcasing Geely's commitment to delivering luxury and value to consumers worldwide.
