Geely Galaxy E5 review: style, technology and comfort of the new generation

Geely continues to develop its electric vehicle range, and the new Galaxy E5 has become one of the most anticipated SUVs of 2025. This is a modern electric crossover that combines stylish design, technological content and practicality for everyday use.

It is based on the smart GEA (Global Intelligent Electric Architecture) platform, which ensures efficiency, safety and economical energy consumption. The car has a powerful 160 kW electric motor, fast charging, a spacious interior and many features that make the ride as comfortable as possible.

The Geely Galaxy E5 looks like a car that is ready to compete with the Tesla Model Y or BYD Song Plus, but remains more affordable. In this review, we will analyse the main characteristics, advantages and features of the new car, which will soon be seen on European roads.

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.

Technical basis: GEA platform

The GEA platform has become the key to Geely's new generation of electric vehicles. It combines a modular design with a high level of integration of electronic systems to improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

The main advantages of GEA:

• high body rigidity for safety during impacts;
• optimised architecture for more interior space;
• support for fast charging and different types of batteries;
• compatibility with autonomous driving systems and over-the-air updates.

Thanks to GEA, Geely Galaxy E5 has excellent handling and stability even at high speeds.

Performance and dynamics

Geely Galaxy E5 is equipped with an electric motor with a capacity of 160 kW (218 hp) and a torque of 320 Nm. The drive is front-wheel drive, which ensures efficient operation on urban and suburban routes.

Acceleration to 100 km/h takes 6.9 seconds, which puts it alongside competitors such as the Hyundai Kona Electric or Tesla Model Y in basic configuration. The top speed is 175 km/h.

Despite its power, the car remains economical: the average energy consumption is about 119 Wh/km, and the range reaches 430 km in the WLTP cycle or about 330 km in real-world conditions.

Battery and charging

Galaxy E5 is equipped with a 60.2 kWh Li-Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, which is known for its stability and durability.

Charging

• Fast DC charging: up to 160 kW (10-80% in 28 minutes);
• AC home charging: 11 kW, a full cycle takes about 6.5 hours;
• Support for Vehicle-to-Load (V2L): the ability to power household devices directly from the car.

Geely has relied on a short charging pause. For example, in just 15 minutes on a fast charge, you can add up to 300 km of range in favourable conditions.

Comfort and space

One of the main achievements of the Galaxy E5 is its spacious interior. With a space efficiency ratio of 67.2%, the car offers one of the best values in its class.

The interior is designed in a minimalist style, but without compromising on comfort. The front seats use the 5+1 Layer Seat technology, where each layer has its own task:

• soft foam for comfort;
• ventilation layer for cooling;
• heating element;
• a layer of back support;
• PVC coating for wear resistance;
• additional "Zero Sensation Relief" layer to relieve stress during long journeys.

The front seats can be folded down completely horizontally to create a relaxing space.

The rear row offers first-class comfort with plenty of legroom and headroom, and the boot capacity is 461 litres, which can be increased to 1,877 litres with the seats folded down.

Quietness and sound quality

Galaxy E5 has excellent noise insulation. The noise level in the cabin at a speed of 120 km/h is only 68.3 dB, which is in line with the conditions of a modern library.

For music lovers, there is a Flyme Sound audio system with 16 speakers and a 1000-watt amplifier. It offers four sound modes that allow you to enjoy your favourite music in any format: Recording Studio provides clear sound, Opera House creates a surround sound effect, Concert adds lively bass and a sense of the stage, and Music Hall conveys warm timbres and natural concert hall acoustics.

Technology and multimedia

At the centre of the Galaxy E5 system is the Flyme Auto platform, designed for easy interaction with the car. It provides quick access to music, navigation, climate and car diagnostics.

Key technologies:

• The main HUD display is 13.8 inches: with a brightness of up to 12,000 nits;
• Hi Geely voice assistantRecognises commands in natural language;
• Geely EX5 App smartphone appRemote start: allows you to remotely start the engine, control the climate and check the battery charge.

In addition, Galaxy E5 supports smartphone connectivity via Android Auto and iOS, and has a built-in Internet module for system updates.

Safety: maximum protection for everyone

Geely Galaxy E5 demonstrates high safety standards, confirmed by independent tests. According to the results of Euro NCAP tests, the car received impressive results that put it on a par with leading European competitors. The body structure is designed to absorb impact energy, and the GEA platform ensures strength and stability even in critical situations.

The overall safety results are impressive: adult occupant protection 86%, child occupant protection 87%, pedestrian and cyclist protection 83%, and driver assistance systems 83%. This balance of active and passive safety makes Galaxy E5 a reliable choice for families and those who value peace of mind while driving.

Assistance systems (ADAS)

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) - automatic distance maintenance;
• Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) - Emergency braking in the event of a collision;
• Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) - keeping the car within the lane;
• Blind Spot Detection (BSD) - warnings about vehicles in blind spots;
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) - assistance in leaving the car park;
• Evasive Manoeuvre Assist (EMA) - active avoidance of obstacles;
• Doors Open Warning (DOW) - Warning when a door is opened in the stream.

Geely has also reinforced the body structure with 8 horizontal and 2 vertical beams and the patented Cloverleaf system, which absorbs impact energy.

Design: simplicity with character

Galaxy E5 looks modern, but doesn't try to be too futuristic. The design retains the recognisable Geely philosophy of clean lines, smooth shapes and balanced proportions. The crossover looks restrained and solid at the same time, without unnecessary decorative elements. Its image conveys a sense of confidence and technological maturity, while its smooth silhouette improves aerodynamics and reduces energy consumption at high speeds.

The front of the Galaxy E5 has a closed grille, narrow LED headlights and clear wing accents that create a dynamic look. The rear optics are made in a "full stripe" format, which adds visual width to the body and creates a cohesive effect. Everything from the contours of the doors to the positioning of the body elements is well thought out, enhancing not only aesthetics but also practicality.

Dimensions:

• length - 4615 mm;
• width - 1901 mm;
• height - 1670 mm;
• wheelbase - 2750 mm.

This is a typical representative of the mid-size SUV class, which strikes a balance between compactness for the city and space for the family.

Real power reserve and consumption

In real-world conditions, the performance of the Galaxy E5 depends on the weather, driving style and road type.

Geely officially states 430 km of WLTP, but the real figures are closer to 330-370 km, which is quite a decent figure for an SUV with a 60 kWh battery.

Price and availability

Geely Galaxy E5 is scheduled to enter the European market in October 2025. The preliminary price in the UK is about £31,990, which is approximately equal to 1.6 million hryvnias. For an electric crossover with this level of equipment, comfort, and range, this is a very competitive price, especially when compared to analogues from Tesla, Volkswagen, or BYD.

The model is not yet officially available in the EU, but deliveries are expected to start first in the UK, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, where interest in electric vehicles is growing steadily. There is also a possibility that in some countries the car will be sold under the Geely brand, while in others it will be sold under the premium Galaxy sub-brand, which is focused on the electric segment.

Geely has already announced that it plans to actively develop the service network and charging infrastructure for the new models in Europe. This means that Galaxy E5 owners will be able to count not only on an affordable price, but also on full after-sales service and software updates over the air.
