Popular car-shopping website Edmunds put a Chinese vehicle through a series of rigorous tests for the first time, and Editor-in-Chief Alistair Weaver came away with a notable impression: US automakers have good reason for concern. While Chinese cars are effectively banned in the US, Edmunds wanted to test one because of growing US consumer interest in the affordable, feature-packed vehicles. It got its hands on a Geely Galaxy M9 — an extended-range SUV hybrid starting at about $25,000 in China — and put the vehicle through its full battery of testing to measure driving range, acceleration, braking and other performance characteristics.
