This Geely SUV Is Great, but U.S. Consumers Will 'Never' Be Able to Buy It

The Geely Galaxy M9 plug-in hybrid SUV, priced at $35,000 with 1,100 km range, faces a permanent U.S. ban under a Senate bill targeting Chinese connected vehicles. The bill covers automakers with over 15% Chinese ownership, banning software next year and hardware by 2030. Geely says it will comply, but industry analysts attribute China's cost advantage to supply chain efficiency and scale, not just subsidies.
