Powertrain

The Starshine 8 uses both the Thor EM-i and the Thor EM-P plug-in hybrid systems. Unlike the Lynk & Co 10 and Galaxy M9, which use an all-wheel-drive layout, the Starshine 8 is only available with a front-wheel-drive layout. The EM-i models get a 1.5 liter naturally aspirated inline 4 engine making 110 horsepower combined with a front motor making 211 horsepower. The EM-P models use a turbocharged inline 4 of the same capacity making 161 horsepower combined with a front motor making 215 horsepower. Two batteries are available, a 8.5 kWh LFP battery and an 18.4 kWh LFP battery. The 8.5 kWh battery is only available with the EM-i models.
