The Sirius has a 4kW AC motor, 350 A Curtis AC controller and has a top speed of 19.5 mph or 25 mph for the LSV version. Other features include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Electronic locking trunk<\/li>\n<li>USB port<\/li>\n<li>LED illuminated dashboard<\/li>\n<li>Self-canceling turn signals<\/li>\n<li>Large bagwell<\/li>\n<li>Optional golf ball holder inserts<\/li>\n<li>Optional 2-in-1 Combo Seat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Star EV??showcased the standard Sirius model with the Combo Seat and a customized version showing off the company&#8217;s available accessories such as multiple wheel options. While the models at the show were standard 2 and 4-passenger vehicles, the Sirius line will expand to include 6 and 8 passenger models. The Sirius will be available at Star EV dealers later this summer.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see what the pricing for the vehicle will be compared to other offerings in the market. I don&#8217;t believe it will be at the level of a Garia, but where will the Sirius sit in the market, given the features and price, relative to offerings from Club Car, E-Z-GO and Yamaha?. This could be the start of a trend towards offering more &#8220;luxury&#8221; models if the larger manufacturers follow suit.<\/p>\n<p>For those interested, Sirius is the brightest star in the Earth&#8217;s night sky and is derived from the ancient Greek word for &#8220;glowing&#8221; or &#8220;scorcher&#8221;, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sirius\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prweb.com\/releases\/2017\/01\/prweb14021772.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Learn more: ??PRweb.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marc Cesare, Smallvehicleresource.com At 2017 PGA Merchandise Show electric vehicle manufacturer Star EV revealed??their new luxury golf car model, the Sirius.
