You already have certain images in mind when getting into a car from a manufacturer that consciously positions itself as an entry-level brand within a corporate group: for the author, this includes gray hard plastic, reduced comfort, and a rather underpowered engine. The surprise effect is all the greater when none of this applies, as with the new plug-in hybrid SUV Starray EM-i from the Geely brand.
