Did you know that some of the most innovative and affordable vehicles are effectively banned from the U.S. market? Popular car-shopping site Edmunds recently put a Chinese Geely Galaxy M9 SUV through rigorous tests, leaving Editor-in-Chief Alistair Weaver notably concerned for U.S. automakers. This extended-range hybrid SUV, starting at just $25,000 in China, boasts features “ahead of the vehicles that we’re driving in the U.S.,” including a 30-inch infotainment screen as responsive as a Tesla’s, a built-in fridge, and an astounding 808-mile driving range. Edmunds found the M9 rivals vehicles like the Hyundai Palisade or Toyota Grand Highlander that cost twice its price. Despite tariffs and regulations keeping these cars out, U.S. consumer interest is surging, with some even exploring ways to import them from Mexico or Canada. Experts warn that denying consumers access to these advanced yet affordable options will lead to frustration, especially as U.S. companies like Ford and Stellantis are only now planning similar extended-range hybrids.
