The Geely EX5 is a fully electric SUV that brings the engineering depth of one of the world's largest automotive groups to UK roads, and for the first time under the Geely name.
Launched in the UK in late 2025, the EX5 is the Geely electric car to open this new chapter.
It sits in the mid-size electric SUV segment, measuring 4.61m in length and seating five comfortably - sized for your most ambitious trips away.
At the heart of the EX5 is Geely's own Short Blade Battery technology: a lithium iron phosphate cell developed and manufactured in-house. The platform itself - designed for both pure-electric and future hybrid drivetrains - was engineered with Lotus's involvement.
A 5-star Euro NCAP rating (awarded to the Pro trim) and an 8-year / 125,000-mile warranty package reinforce the confidence the Geely EX5 is designed to inspire.
Before the Geely EX5 reached UK roads, Geely had already spent two decades quietly reshaping the automotive world - mostly through brands you'll already know.
The Geely Holding Group owns Volvo Cars, acquired in 2010 and since transformed into a global leader in safety and electrification. It also holds a controlling stake in Polestar, the performance EV brand spun out of Volvo's motorsport division. Closer to home, Geely owns Lotus, the storied British sports car maker - and it was Lotus Engineering that tuned the EX5's suspension for UK road conditions.
Geely's connection to British roads runs deeper still. LEVC, the maker of London's iconic electric black taxi, is also part of the group. So, while Geely arrives under its own name for the first time, it has been a quiet presence on UK streets for years.
This is not a brand starting from scratch. It is a group with a proven track record across luxury, performance, electrification, and engineering - and the EX5 is the first car to carry that heritage under the Geely badge directly.
Step inside the Geely EX5 and the cabin rewards you with space and a sense of considered design.
A 15.4-inch HD touchscreen sits at the centre stack, running Geely's Flyme Auto infotainment system with 4G connectivity, an in-car app store, and over-the-air (OTA) software updates. Ahead of the driver you have the 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, while the Max trim adds a windshield head-up display for a genuinely connected feel. Apple CarPlay is standard across all trims; Android Auto support is arriving soon.
Wireless phone charging, four USB ports (two Type-A, two Type-C), and an in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot will please each passenger - whether you're sat in the front or back.
EX5 Geely electric cars are equipped with front seats that are power-adjustable across all trims and heated as standard, befitting the cooler UK temperatures. The Max upgrades to ventilated, massaging seats with memory function and a passenger leg-rest. Rear accommodation is a genuine strength: the 2,750mm wheelbase translates to exceptional legroom, making it a family electric SUV in the truest sense.
With 461 litres of boot space (seats up) and 1,877 litres with the rear bench folded flat, there's enough room to fit the family's luggage after a weekend away. An under-seat storage drawer in the rear, 60/40 split-fold seats, and ISOFIX anchor points (front and rear) improve everyday family life and frequent adventuring.
The Max also brings 256-colour ambient lighting, a 16-speaker Flyme Sound premium audio system with headrest speakers, and a panoramic glass sunroof - details that lift the atmosphere well beyond the entry price.
Drawing on ancient Chinese architectural influences, the Geely EX5 presents surfaces that are sinuously sculpted - purposeful rather than decorative.
The EX5 has earned its design credentials formally: it holds a Red Dot Design Award, an IDA Gold Award, and a MUSE Platinum Award - recognition that its clean, restrained aesthetic represents a deliberate choice, not a compromise.
The full-width rear LED light bar anchors the rear profile, while flush door handles, active grille shutters, and a sculpted bonnet line give the exterior an engineering logic that optimises aerodynamic performance at speed, alongside visual coherence. It is a quietly distinctive car - the kind that reveals more the longer you look at it.
The SE rides on 18-inch Giti alloy wheels, while the Pro and Max get 19-inch low-drag Goodyear-shod alloys. The 10.8-metre turning circle keeps city manoeuvres manageable for a car of this length.
The Geely SUV's body colours run from Arctic White (standard) to eye-catching metallic options including Obsidian Black, Frost Grey, Moonlight Silver, and Jade Green. The Max Geely vehicle gains metallic paint as standard; it remains an option on SE and Pro.
Rain-sensing frameless wipers and heated, power-folding mirrors come as standard across all trims. On the Max, a power tailgate rounds off a modern SUV design that earns its keep.
Three trim levels encompass the Geely EX5: SE, Pro, and Max. All share the same 160kW motor and 60.22kWh battery; the differences lie in equipment level and alloy wheel size.

The Geely EX5 UK models are offered in a single fully electric vehicle configuration, producing zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving across all three trims.
Power comes from a single front-mounted 160kW motor paired with a 60.22kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. The Short Blade Battery is a Geely-developed technology - a flat-cell architecture similar in principle to BYD's Blade Battery - designed for faster charging, greater thermal stability, and improved pack efficiency.
Suspension tuning by Lotus Engineering gives the EX5 a composed, settled ride on British roads - a notable achievement for a new-to-market electric vehicle.
The WLTP range reaches up to 267 miles on the SE, dropping to 258 and 255 miles on the heavier Pro and Max. DC rapid charging at up to 120kW takes the battery from 30-80% in around 20 minutes, meaning you can carry on your longer journeys undisturbed.
AC charging via the onboard 11kW charger takes approximately six hours for a full charge. Meanwhile the three driving modes - Normal, Eco, and Sport - allow you to balance range and performance to adequately manage your journey.
V2L and V2V capability comes as standard across all Geely cars UK trims. The function allows you to power external devices or charge another electric vehicle directly from the EX5's battery, giving you peace of mind during those lengthy camping or exploration trips.
