The Geely EX5 is a five-seat electric SUV, 4.62m long, with up to 280 miles of WLTP range, a 461-litre boot and an eight-year manufacturer warranty. Four trims are offered: SE, Pro, Max and Ultra, all with the same 215bhp front-wheel-drive electric powertrain.
The Geely EX5 is a five-seat electric family SUV, 4.62 metres long, sold in one body style with one powertrain and four trims. It's aimed squarely at people who want a lot of cabin space and equipment from an electric car without stepping up to a big premium badge.
It's the model that introduced the Geely name in its own right to UK buyers, although the group behind it already has deep roots here through the other brands it owns. Reviewers consistently describe the EX5 as comfortable, roomy and generously kitted, rather than exciting.
The choice is straightforward: one SUV body, one 215bhp electric drivetrain with an automatic gearbox and front-wheel drive, and four trims - SE, Pro, Max and Ultra.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The EX5 is a conventional five-door, five-seat electric SUV built around space and comfort rather than driver appeal. It measures 4.62m long and 1.90m wide, with a 2.75m wheelbase, and road testers single out the rear legroom as unusually generous for the class.
Boot space is 461 litres with the rear seats up and 1,877 litres folded, which is useful rather than class-leading - the cabin gets the benefit. Reviewers praise the ride comfort and the perceived quality of the interior materials, and criticise the touchscreen, which handles nearly every function.
Behind it sits an eight-year or 125,000-mile manufacturer warranty, and Euro NCAP awarded the EX5 five stars.
Because the standard specification is unusually complete, and a lease keeps you clear of the biggest unknown with a new brand in the UK: what the car will be worth in three or four years. That risk sits with the funder, not you.
Every EX5 gets adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, an electrically adjustable driver's seat, keyless entry and start, wireless phone charging, built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a heat pump that helps protect winter range.
Safety kit is standard across the range too: autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, active lane-change assist, traffic sign recognition and rear parking sensors. Euro NCAP scored it 86% for adult occupants and 87% for children. Servicing is every 24 months or 20,000 miles, which suits low-mileage drivers well.
There's only one, so the decision is really whether an electric car fits your life. The EX5 is battery-electric only, with a single motor driving the front wheels through an automatic transmission.
The 215bhp motor produces 320Nm, covering 0-62mph in 6.9 to 7.6 seconds depending on version, with a 109mph top speed. Battery capacity runs from 60.2kWh to 68.4kWh, giving a WLTP range of up to 280 miles and efficiency of up to 3.9 miles per kWh.
Charging tops out at 135kW, taking the best version from 30-80% in 20 minutes, and 0-100% in 5.9 hours on an 11kW home or workplace supply. If you can charge where you park, this suits commuting and school runs very comfortably; regular 300-mile motorway legs would be harder work.

All four trims share the same 215bhp front-wheel-drive powertrain and the long standard equipment list, so you're choosing wheels, comfort features and finish rather than performance.
The entry trim is far from sparse. It rides on 18-inch alloys with Giti tyres and has artificial leather upholstery, a faux leather instrument panel, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, remote window and sunroof operation and a heated steering wheel.
The SE is currently available from £347.68 a month.
Pro swaps to 19-inch low-drag alloy wheels with Goodyear tyres. That's the only change to standard kit, so it's a choice about how the car looks and sits on the road rather than what it can do.
The Pro is currently available from £373.26 a month. Against the SE, that is currently £25.58/mo more expensive.
Max is the comfort-focused version. It adds a panoramic power sunroof with a powered sunshade, ventilated and massaging front seats with memory, a 16-speaker FLYME premium audio system including two headrest speakers, a head-up display, ambient lighting, front parking sensors and a power tailgate.
The Max is currently available from £400.33 a month. Against the Pro, that is currently £27.07/mo more expensive.
Ultra is about appearance rather than extra equipment, keeping the 19-inch alloys and artificial leather upholstery. Worth a look if you want a distinct finish at the top of the range.
The Ultra is currently available from £422.03 a month. Against the Max, that is currently £21.70/mo more expensive.
If you're weighing the EX5 against the wider class, the Leapmotor C10, BYD Sealion 7, OMODA 5 and Volkswagen ID.4 are all worth a look, as is the rest of the Geely range.
