Question 1

What's the real-world driving range, and how long does it take to charge at home?

Accepted Answer

The 60.2 kWh battery gives you 430 km on the WLTP cycle, though expect closer to 350–380 km in mixed city and highway driving. On a standard 11 kW home charger, a full charge takes roughly 5.5 hours; a DC fast charger gets you 80% in around 30 minutes, which is handy for road trips.

Question 2

How much does the Complete cost, and what's the price difference to the Inspire?

Accepted Answer

The Complete is priced at $41,990 (up $1,000 from the previous $40,990). We don't have the Inspire's exact pricing in the data, but you'll want to confirm the gap with your dealer—it's usually a few thousand dollars for extra features like a sunroof or higher trim levels.

Question 3

Is it quick enough for highway merging and everyday driving?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 160 kW motor and 320 Nm of torque get it from 0–100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, which is brisk for a compact SUV and plenty for motorway slip roads. You'll feel responsive acceleration in town, especially since electric torque arrives instantly.

Question 4

What safety features come standard, and is autonomous emergency braking included?

Accepted Answer

The Complete has you covered with adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a 360-degree camera—all standard. There's no mention of a higher ANCAP rating in the spec, so you'll want to check Geely's official crash test results before deciding.

Question 5

How much boot space does it actually have, and can you fold the seats flat?

Accepted Answer

With the rear seats up, you get 302 litres; fold them and you're looking at 1,877 litres, which is decent for a compact SUV. That's enough for a family holiday or a trip to the hardware store, though we can't confirm exact measurements when seats are partially folded from the data provided.

Question 6

Does the infotainment screen work with your phone, and are there other modern conveniences?

Accepted Answer

The 15.4-inch touchscreen includes both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus wireless phone charging—all standard on the Complete. Dual-zone climate control and heated front seats are there too, so you're not missing the basics on comfort tech.

Question 7

What's the ground clearance, and will it handle rough tracks or just city streets?

Accepted Answer

At 148 mm, the ground clearance is modest—fine for urban roads and light gravel, but not designed for serious off-road work. It's a city and suburban SUV first, so stick to sealed roads if you want to avoid scrapes and damage.

Question 8

Is there a warranty, and what are running costs like for an EV in Australia?

Accepted Answer

The spec sheet doesn't list warranty details, so contact your Geely dealer directly. Running costs are low compared to petrol: electricity is cheaper per kilometre than fuel, servicing is simpler (no oil changes), and the battery typically carries an 8–10 year warranty, though you'll need to confirm this with your seller.
