Geely Auto Australia has finally released pricing for its new Starray EM-i plug-in hybrid (PHEV) SUV, which is one of the most affordable PHEVs on sales in Australia.
The 2026 Geely Starrary EM-i will commence deliveries from October 1, 2025, with prices starting from just $37,490 before on-road costs for the entry-level Complete grade. That makes the Starray $3500-$4000 cheaper than the equivalent EX5 EV.
Further, the Chinese company is launching with a ‘Premium Offer’, giving buyers the choice of either a 3.88 per cent comparison rate or a three-year (or 45,000km) free scheduled servicing pack; plus a Mode 2 home charging cable and complimentary premium paint.
Customers who place their order before September 30 and take delivery by November 30 can additionally receive a discount matching their deposit contribution up to $1000.
