Body Style and Size Segment

The Geely EX5 is a compact SUV designed with modern urban practicality in mind. It measures 4,615 mm in length, 1,901 mm in width, and 1,670 mm in height, sitting on a 2,750 mm wheelbase. Its balanced proportions provide a confident stance on the road while maintaining the maneuverability required for city driving.

Platform Architecture

Built upon a specialized electric-first architecture, the EX5 utilizes advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) “Short Blade” battery technology. It is available with battery capacities of 60.22 kWh or 68.39 kWh. The vehicle delivers a WLTP range of up to 450 km (280 miles). While efficiency varies by driving conditions, it supports fast DC charging from 30% to 80% in approximately 20 minutes. The FWD powertrain allows for a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in approximately 7 seconds.

Technical Capabilities

The EX5 is equipped with a comprehensive suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree surround-view camera, and intelligent lane-keeping assist. It also supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) power supply, allowing users to power external devices or assist other electric vehicles.

Quality & Warranty

The interior focuses on premium comfort with soft-touch materials, heated seats, and a large 15.4-inch infotainment display. Storage is practical, featuring a 410-liter rear boot (expandable with rear seats down) and clever under-floor compartments; however, it lacks a front “frunk.” The ownership experience is bolstered by a generous 8-year / 125,000-mile vehicle warranty and an 8-year battery warranty.

App Functionality

The “Geely App” acts as the command center for the vehicle. Key features include remote monitoring of battery status and tire pressure, climate pre-conditioning, vehicle location services, and remote control of charging schedules. It also provides access to maintenance tips and roadside assistance.

3 Pros and 3 Cons

• Pros: Outstanding 8-year warranty, innovative and safe Short Blade battery, and highly competitive pricing for its feature set.

• Cons: Lack of front storage (frunk), charging speed is capped at 135 kW (slower than some 800V rivals), and infotainment connectivity relies on data subscriptions after the trial period.

SmartGrandads View

The Geely EX5 is ideal for cost-conscious families and fleet managers who prioritize reliability, safety, and modern tech without the premium price tag. It competes directly with models like the BYD Atto 3, Kia Niro EV, and MG ZS EV. Currently available in various markets across the Adriatic region, Greece, and the UK, Geely is aggressively expanding its European footprint, making this a model to watch closely as it becomes more widely available.
