Geely Starray EM-i Super Hybrid SUV launches in UK

By David Lewis | 7 January 2026

Geely Auto UK is gearing up to bring the Starray EM-i Super Hybrid SUV to UK roads this February.

Designed from the ground up as a purpose-built PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid), the Starray EM-i blends petrol power with intelligent electrification for a driving experience that’s efficient, confident, and simple to live with.

Efficiency meets intelligence in three well-equipped trims

Starting from £29,990 on the road for the Pro trim, the Starray EM-i offers up to 618 miles combined WLTP range and an electric-only range of up to 84 miles. The model lineup includes three trims: Pro, Max (£32,690), and Ultra (£34,990), each packed with features designed for modern drivers.

• The entry-level Pro includes heated electrically adjustable front seats, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and keyless entry as standard.
• The Max trim adds a heads-up display and wireless phone charging for added convenience.
• The range-topping Ultra offers a larger battery and enhanced charging capabilities for longer electric driving.

Why the Starray EM-i feels different to drive

The Starray EM-i has been tuned specifically for UK roads, with Geely working closely alongside Lotus Engineering to refine the chassis and suspension. This development approach helps deliver a more settled, confidence-inspiring drive, whether navigating busy town streets, flowing A-roads, or uneven rural routes.

The result is a plug-in hybrid SUV that feels composed and predictable, making everyday driving feel natural rather than complicated.

Safety and peace of mind built in

All Starray EM-i models achieve a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, supported by a comprehensive suite of active and passive safety systems designed to protect both occupants and other road users.

Every model is backed by an eight-year or 125,000-mile warranty, with service intervals set at 12 months or 10,000 miles. This combination helps provide reassurance for both private buyers and company car drivers.

Modern interior and connected technology

Inside, the Starray EM-i features a clean, modern cabin designed around everyday usability. A digital driver display works alongside a large central touchscreen, giving quick access to navigation, media, and vehicle settings.

Wireless smartphone connectivity comes as standard, helping drivers stay connected without cluttering the cabin with cables. The overall layout focuses on comfort, clarity, and ease of use, whether you are commuting or heading away for the weekend.

Tailored for UK roads and easy charging solutions

To support home charging, Geely has partnered with Andersen to offer access to the A3 home charger, alongside a relationship with Octopus Energy to help customers find suitable charging tariffs.

These partnerships are designed to make the transition to plug-in hybrid ownership as straightforward as possible.

Michael Yang, General Manager of Geely Auto UK, said: “We are committed to providing safe, smart, and efficient mobility tailored for British drivers. The Starray EM-i’s design as a dedicated Super Hybrid, combined with clear pricing and comprehensive equipment, delivers a straightforward and attractive choice for those embracing electrification.”
