About Geely EX5

The EX5 is the car Geely chose to introduce its own name to many Western buyers. Sold in China as the Galaxy E5, it is a mid-size electric SUV launched in 2024 on the company's GEA architecture, designed for mainstream models rather than the premium SEA platform used by Zeekr and Polestar. It offers a roomy cabin, a large central screen, a long equipment list and a price aimed at undercutting more established rivals, which is the classic formula for Chinese brands arriving in new markets.

Geely uses its own lithium iron phosphate battery technology and an integrated electric drive unit, and the EX5 has received generally positive reviews for its comfort, space, quiet ride and value, with some critics noting that its handling and driver-assistance tuning are less polished than its interior and that its software menus can be busy. In Malaysia, Proton sells a version as the e.MAS 7, showing how Geely uses its partner brands. Extended-range versions with a larger battery have arrived in some markets, and a facelift has moved the motor to the rear wheels, a significant change in character.

In Australia, Britain and other markets the EX5 competes with the BYD Atto 3 and Sealion 7, the Tesla Model Y, the MG S5 and the Kia EV5, and it serves as the anchor of Geely's expanding international lineup alongside smaller cars such as the EX2. This page covers reviews, pricing, updates and sales news for the EX5 and its close relatives. For a brand still introducing itself in many countries, the EX5 is the first impression, and how buyers respond to it will shape how quickly Geely's name becomes as familiar abroad as the brands it owns.
