Description
Temu Taycans aside, Geely's mainstream hybrids, EVs, and plug-ins, AKA the bread and butter of their production, are what would really set the fox amongst the chickens if it were ever allowed in the USA. No, it's not overly exciting to drive; no, it's not strikingly beautiful; yes, there are some oddities inside. But none of that matters when you consider what it DOES deliver: BETTER fuel economy than a RAV4, TWICE the electric range vs the RAV4 plug in hybrid, SIX inches more legroom... For a price that's roughly 20-25% LESS. Safety? Unlike previous exports, the latest Chinese cars are scoring on average better than some of the Japanese and Korean imports to Europe. What's the catch? They would literally be illegal to sell in the USA right now, even if Geely wanted to.... Unless they opened a factory in the USA that is.
