GEELY EX5: VFM VOLVO EX90

The 2026 Geely EX5 is poised to be a significant disruptor in the electric family SUV segment, combining a highly competitive price tag with a premium-feeling interior and an impressive suite of standard technology.

Backed by the Geely Group (owner of Volvo and Lotus), it offers a compelling blend of practicality and value that challenges established rivals.

1. Body Style and size segment it is (including dimensions)

The EX5 is a mid-sized, all-electric SUV. Its dimensions are approximately 4615mm (Length) x 1901mm (Width) x 1670mm (Height), with a 2750mm wheelbase.

2. Platform architecture including voltage plus Range & Efficiency

Built on an independent Geely platform, the EX5 uses an electric powertrain with a 60.22 kWh LFP battery. It offers a WLTP range of up to 430 km (267 miles). The vehicle supports up to 100kW DC fast-charging, allowing a 30-80% charge in about 20 minutes.

3. Technical capabilities (e.g. driver Assistance features)

It features comprehensive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), and Auto Lane Change Assist (ALCA). It also includes Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) power supply capability.

4. Quality of the interior, the Storage capacity (Front & Rear)

The interior is noted for its plush, near-premium feel, with soft-touch materials and standard features like synthetic leather seats. Rear storage is approximately 410 litres (with under-floor space), expanding to over 1877 litres with the rear seats folded. There is no front trunk (frunk).

5. App functionality

The paired smartphone app offers remote control functions such as locking/unlocking, pre-conditioning (AC/heat), remote seat heating/cooling, and checking the vehicle’s location and State of Charge (SoC). Over-The-Air (OTA) updates are supported.

6. 3 pros and 3 cons of having this car
  • Pros: 1. Exceptional value and generous standard equipment. 2. High-quality, comfortable interior feel. 3. Strong suite of safety and driver assistance features.

  • Cons: 1. Real-world range can fall short of official figures. 2. No front storage (frunk). 3. Suspension can feel firm and fidgety on rough roads.

7. Overall summary, a short paragraph about this car compared to its competitors

The Geely EX5 is positioned as a highly competitive and value-driven alternative to mainstream rivals like the Tesla Model Y, BYD Sealion 7, and Skoda Enyaq. While it may not offer the ultimate driving range or the handling dynamics of some European competitors, it significantly undercuts them on price while providing a more premium, feature-rich, and comfortable family-focused experience than many budget-oriented EVs.
