The Geely EX5 electric crossover enters the UK market with a starting price of 31,990 GBP (42,970 USD). It rivals other BEV models such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Skoda Enyaq. The EX5 comes standard with a 160 kW (215 hp) electric motor powered by a 60.2 kWh LFP battery, offering a range of 267 miles.
The Geely EX5 is often referred to as the brand’s first BEV model for global markets. However, it is actually the second pure electric Geely car to sell outside China after the Geely Geometry C. The latter vehicle is an electric variant of the petrol-powered Geely Emgrand GS. However, the EX5 is a different story. It is underpinned by the GEA modular architecture designed specifically for new energy cars.
The Geely EX5 sells domestically as the Galaxy E5. It entered China in August 2024, rapidly becoming one of the brand’s bestselling models. Priced at 107,800 yuan (15,140 USD), it sold over 150,000 units as of August 2025, according to China EV DataTracker. Moreover, the Geely EX5 has already entered around 30 overseas markets. The UK became the latest stop for this SUV.
