Geely EX5: a new generation of electric comfort

The Geely EX5 is not just another electric car. It is an attempt by the Chinese automaker to show that the future of electric mobility can be convenient, stylish and truly practical. The new EX5 is built on the GEA intelligent electric platform, has a range of up to 430 km (WLTP), 160 kW of power and the ability to charge on 80% in less than half an hour. But the numbers are [...]

The main idea of the Geely EX5 is to make an electric car not an exotic for enthusiasts, but a regular, full-fledged transport for everyone. That's why this car pays a lot of attention to space, ergonomics, quietness in the cabin, and smart driver assistance systems.

We remind you that you can purchase home and commercial charging stations in our online storeand also use the public charging stations ECOFACTORcharging points located throughout Ukraine. For convenient access to charging infrastructure, we recommend using our mobile applicationwhich is available on iOS and Android.

Design and first impression

Geely EX5 looks modern, but not too aggressive. This is the case when the style does not try to shout, but speaks calmly and confidently. The front end is made in the spirit of the new generation of Geely: narrow LED optics, smooth bonnet lines, a closed "false radiator" with a glossy finish.

The EX5 looks compact from the side, despite its length of over 4.6 metres. The proportions are balanced, and the body shape has resulted in a space utilisation factor of 67.2% - one of the best in the class. The rear end is decorated with a continuous LED strip that visually extends the car.

The body is built on the GEA (Global Intelligent Electric Architecture) platform, which provides optimal weight distribution, cornering stability and additional interior space.

Interior and comfort

The interior of the Geely EX5 is designed with a focus on the driver and passengers, not on "electrical gizmos". The main goal is comfort. And you can feel it from the first seconds.

The front seats feature 5+1 layer technology:

• Zero Sensation Relief layer reduces back strain during long journeys;
• The PVC layer adds strength;
• The ventilation and heating layers are responsible for the climate;
• High-density foam creates a softness close to that of premium seats.

The front seats can be completely folded down to create a flat surface - perfect for resting while travelling or charging.

There is a lot of space in the rear row. Passengers get a full-fledged seat with a large reclining angle, ventilation and adjustment. Noise insulation also deserves a special mention: at a speed of 120 km/h, the noise level in the cabin is only 68.3 dB. This is almost the level of a library.

The panoramic roof adds to the sense of space. It can be opened in 11 positions, and the automatic touch-sensitive rain closure is a nice touch that demonstrates attention to detail.

Flyme Auto infotainment system

Geely EX5 has received the Flyme Auto system, designed to fully integrate the car with a smartphone. This is not just multimedia, but a separate ecosystem.

The 13.8-inch head-up display (HUD) provides the driver with all the information they need - speed, charge, navigation. The 12,000-nit brightness ensures excellent visibility even in direct sunlight.

The Hi Geely function allows you to control the car with your voice: you can change the temperature, switch music or open the sunroof hands-free.

The Flyme Sound audio system with 16 speakers and a 1000W amplifier produces sound close to professional studio level. The user can select one of the modes:

• Recording Studio delivers clear, distortion-free sound;
• Opera House - stage effect;
• Concert - deep bass and lively sound;
• Music Hall - natural acoustics of classical halls.

Safety and driver assistance systems

Geely has always placed a strong emphasis on safety, and the EX5 is no exception. The model has been awarded a 5-star Euro NCAP rating with outstanding performance:

• 86% adult protection,
• 87% children,
• 83% auxiliary systems.

The body has a reinforced structure of 8 horizontal and 2 vertical supports, which, together with the energy dissipation system, increases crash protection.

The package includes a family of ADAS systems:

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) - maintains a distance to the car in front;
• Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) - keeps it within the lane;
• Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) - automatically brakes in the event of a collision;
• Blind Spot Detection (BSD) - controls "dead zones";
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) - warns of traffic when reversing;
• Evasive Manoeuvre Assist (EMA) - helps to avoid an obstacle;
• Door Open Warning (DOW) - signals if a car is approaching when the door is opened.

In addition, the EX5 is equipped with seven airbags, including side airbags and a far-side airbag for additional protection for the driver and passenger.

Power and dynamics

Under the bonnet of the Geely EX5 is a compact but powerful 11-in-1 electric drive system that combines a motor, inverter, gearbox and cooling system in one module. Its maximum output is 160 kW (218 hp) and torque is 320 Nm. Thanks to this, the crossover accelerates to 100 km/h in just 6.9 seconds, which is on par with powerful petrol counterparts. At the same time, the engine is smooth, without jerks, and acceleration is felt naturally, without the typical "pick-up" of electric cars at the start.

The Geely EX5 has front-wheel drive, but the low centre of gravity and balanced weight distribution ensure confident cornering behaviour and stability even on wet roads. The electronic traction control system precisely doses power to avoid slippage. Although the EX5 is not a sports model, its dynamics are a pleasant surprise: the car responds easily to the accelerator pedal, and the power reserve allows you to comfortably overtake and manoeuvre in city traffic or on the highway.

Battery and charging

The Geely EX5 uses a 60.2 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. This is a modern and safe battery type with increased heat resistance and durability.

Main charging indicators:

• charging at home (11 kW AC) - about 6.5 hours;
• fast charging (160 kW DC) - from 10 to 80% in 28 minutes.

A nice bonus is the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function, which allows you to use the car as a power source for electrical appliances, for example, when camping or in a power outage.

Power reserve and real efficiency

Official figures

The Geely EX5 demonstrates impressive energy efficiency for an electric SUV. According to official WLTP data, the range is up to 430 km on a single charge, which puts it on par with the leading models in this class. However, actual figures vary depending on weather, speed and driving style.

• in the city in the warm season - up to 490 km,
• on the track in winter - approximately 235 km,
• The combined average cycle is about 330 km.

These figures make the EX5 a practical choice not only for daily commuting, but also for countryside trips.

Energy efficiency in real life

The average energy consumption is between 161 and 215 W-min/km, which is equivalent to approximately 2 litres of fuel per 100 km. This is a very economical figure for a crossover weighing more than 1.8 tonnes. In the city cycle, the Geely EX5 consumes less thanks to energy recovery during braking. On the highway, consumption increases, but remains at an acceptable level even when using climate control or heated seats.

Geely uses an optimised electronic control system that adapts power delivery to driving conditions, helping to conserve power without losing momentum. As a result, the EX5 can confidently cover long distances without the driver having to constantly think about the nearest charging point.

Practicality and space

The Geely EX5 has well-thought-out proportions that make it comfortable and roomy for everyday use. The crossover has a length of 4,615 mm and a wheelbase of 2.75 m, which ensures stability on the road and space in the cabin. The boot volume is 461 litres, and with the rear row seats folded down, it increases to 1,877 litres. This makes it easy to transport large items, luggage or sports equipment. Although the EX5 does not have a front loader, the main compartment is deep, has a flat floor and is conveniently shaped for everyday use.

The interior of the Geely EX5 also offers many practical storage solutions: spacious door pockets, cup holders, small niches in the centre console and compartments under the seats. For travelling or active lifestyles, there are roof rails where you can secure a box or bicycle. The car does not support towing, but its spaciousness and thoughtful ergonomics compensate for this, making the EX5 a convenient choice for families or business trips.

Geely EX5 App mobile application

The official app allows you to control the car remotely:

• start or stop the engine;
• check the battery charge;
• turn on the air conditioning;
• block the door;
• find a car on the map.

This is convenient, especially in winter, when you can switch on the cabin heating in advance before leaving the house.

In addition to the basic functions, the Geely EX5 mobile app allows you to track trip statistics, energy consumption and the status of vehicle systems in real time. The driver can receive notifications about maintenance, software updates or changes in battery temperature while charging. The interface is intuitive and lag-free, so driving a car via a smartphone becomes a natural extension of the user experience. It makes you feel as if the car is always close by and under control, even when you're away from it.

Advantages and disadvantages

The Geely EX5 proves that an electric car can be not only technologically advanced, but also truly convenient in everyday use. It is a well-thought-out SUV with a good balance between power, comfort and efficiency. Below is a table with the main pros and cons of the model.

As a result, the Geely EX5 can be considered one of the best options among mid-size electric crossovers. It is suitable for those who value comfort, modern technology and want to switch to an electric car without compromising on ride quality.
