With the rapid shift toward electric mobility in the UAE, new names are beginning to stand out in a market long dominated by Korean and European brands. The Geely EX5 enters the competition confidently, offering modern design, advanced technology, and a practical driving range suited to the pace of life in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Introduced through Geely’s UAE dealer, AGMC, the EX5 targets buyers seeking an electric SUV that meets the demands of everyday use.

Design Aligned With the Modern Roads of the UAE

The Geely EX5 presents a stylish on road presence thanks to its smooth, streamlined lines and contemporary appeal, resembling the premium crossovers commonly seen across Dubai’s streets. Its nearly closed off front fascia highlights its electric identity, while the slim LED headlights add a distinctly futuristic touch.

Its dimensions place it firmly in the compact SUV category:

  • Length: 4,615 mm

  • Width: 1,901 mm

  • Height: 1,670 mm

  • Wheelbase: 2,750 mm

Inside, the EX5 features a modern cabin with a large central screen and a clean, minimalist dashboard. Built on the smart GEA platform, the SUV offers up to 67% interior space utilization, delivering generous comfort for both rows and ample cargo capacity for weekend getaways.

An Electric Powertrain That Matches the Pace of Life in the UAE

The Geely EX5 relies on an electric powertrain that delivers performance surpassing many rivals in its class, supported by a front mounted motor that responds confidently on both city streets and highways.

Key Specifications:

  • Power: Approximately 218 hp.

  • Torque: 320 Nm.

  • Battery: 60.22 kWh (LFP).

  • 0–100 km/h: Around 6.9 seconds.

  • Top Speed: 175 km/h.

  • Real World Range: Between 425 and 430 km.

This range is sufficient for daily commuting within Dubai, with enough capability to travel to Abu Dhabi and return on a single charge when the trip is planned efficiently.

A Charging Experience Designed for the UAE’s Daily Driving Rhythm

The EX5 enhances the charging experience with capabilities that match the fast paced lifestyle of users who frequently commute between Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi. Its charging performance is clearly reflected in the following points:

  • DC Fast Charging Power: Up to 160 kW.

  • 10% to 80% Charge Time: Around 28 minutes.

  • Range Added in 10 Minutes: Approximately 135 km.

  • Convenient Stops: A short break is enough to regain sufficient range for the rest of the day.

  • Aligned With UAE Infrastructure: Takes advantage of the widespread fast charging stations along major highways.

This makes daily use flexible and effortless, offering an experience that closely resembles the “fill and go” convenience familiar to traditional car users.

A Digital Cabin That Reflects the Spirit of the New Generation

The cabin comes equipped with advanced technology, including a large 15.4 inch central display and a digital driver cluster exceeding 10 inches, along with a wide array of features:

  • Full smartphone connectivity.

  • Voice command functionality.

  • Over the air system updates.

  • Wireless phone charging.

  • Panoramic sunroof in higher trims.

  • Surround sound system with up to 16 speakers in the Max+ trim.

The front seats also offer wide reclining capability, ideal for waiting periods during charging. Meanwhile, the spacious second row provides noticeable comfort for family members.

Comprehensive Safety Backed by Global Recognition

The Geely EX5 is equipped with a fully integrated safety suite that includes:

  • 6 airbags.

  • ABS brakes.

  • Electronic stability control.

  • Blind spot monitoring.

  • Automatic emergency braking.

  • Adaptive cruise control.

  • Semi autonomous driving features depending on the trim.

The EX5 has also earned prestigious international design awards such as Red Dot, IDA Gold, and Muse Platinum, reflecting Geely’s commitment to delivering a modern, well engineered electric vehicle inside and out.

Geely EX5 Price List in the UAE

The Geely EX5 is available in the UAE market in the following trims:

  • Standard Trim: Starts at approximately AED 99,900.
