Star EV Sirius review & price

Is the Star EV Sirius a good golf buggy?

The Star EV Sirius is the brand's luxury street-legal flagship golf cart (road-legal golf buggy with approval), available in two to six seats. It stands out for large lithium battery options that stretch range to 40-60 miles and for a cabin a clear notch above the value brands.

We score it 8 out of 10. The high points are best-in-range 40-60 mile options, luxury infotainment and seating and factory LSV compliance. The trade-offs to weigh up are premium price, charge time not published and top trims get expensive.

How much does the Star EV Sirius cost?

In the UK it is around £11,300 to £15,000 (est.), sold on application through dealers. In the US, roughly $14,400 to $19,000 (est.). Prices move with powertrain, trim and options, and most of this segment is quoted before delivery, tax and accessories.

Whatever the list price, we will aim to beat any genuine like-for-like quote on the equivalent Hawke model, so it is always worth a quick comparison before you buy.

Performance and drive

The Sirius is geared for low-speed road and site use, topping out around 25 mph. Drive comes from a 4 kW AC (2/4 seat) or 5 kW AC (6 seat). Expect a real-world range of 40-60 (battery dependent).

Space and practicality

It seats 2, 4 or 6. Overall it measures Sirius 2: 93 x 47 x 75 in; wheelbase 66 in, so factor that into storage and turning space.

Running costs, charging and batteries

Power is Lithium electric. 48V LiFePO4, options 80/105/160/210Ah, 2,000+ cycles. As a rule, a lithium pack costs more up front but lasts far longer and needs no maintenance, where lead-acid is cheaper to buy but needs watering and careful charging.

Is it road legal?

UK: No as standard. US: Yes (factory LSV compliance, 4-wheel hydraulic brakes). In Britain, road use means the buggy must be approved as an L6e or L7e quadricycle and registered with the DVLA; in the US, a street-legal cart is a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) capped at 25 mph with the required lights, mirrors, belts and a windscreen.
