Summary
Value disruption meets German engineering excellence: Geely Starray EM-i taking on the benchmark Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid.
Verdict
The Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid offers longer electric range (125 km WLTP) and faster 50 kW DC charging from its massive 25.7 kWh battery, but commands a steep €45,000+ price tag. The Geely Starray EM-i delivers comparable luxury and 83 km range for roughly €12,000 to €15,000 less.
