Geely Auto has officially launched its midsize, all-electric EX5 SUV into the Australian market in two grades, with deliveries from the dealer network beginning March 12.
The EX5 will not be Geely’s sole offering in the market. There are plans to launch six NEV models based on the GEA architecture in the next three years.
Available to order now, the EX5 is priced at $42,707.45 driveaway for the Complete and $46,707.45 driveaway for the Inspire.
The range-starting Complete variant comes with 15.4-inch central touchscreen, powered and heated front seats and up to 430 kilometres of driving range (WLTP).
The Inspire grade adds an openable panoramic sunroof with sunshade, six-mode massage and ventilation front seats, HD heads-up display, powered tailgate and a 16-speaker, 1000W Flyme audio system.
“We have a long-term plan for Australia and are fully committed to bringing both vehicles and mobility solutions to Australia that not only suit consumer needs but also offer accessible value,” Geely Auto Australia chief executive Mr Li Lei says.

GEA platform
Built on Geely’s newly developed GEA platform, the EX5 is powered by a front-mounted, 11-in-1 electric motor that produces 160kW of power and 320Nm of torque.
Power comes from a 60.22kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery pack operating as part of a 400-volt system. The driving range for the EX5 is 430km(WLTP) for the Complete and 410km (WLTP) for the Inspire model.
The 0-100km/h sprint can be achieved in as little as 6.9 seconds.
The EX5 will be able to provide both vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) functions from launch. The midsize electric SUV can support more than one appliance plugged in at a time with 3.3kW of maximum output.
It can also boost fellow electric vehicles back on the road with V2V at a rate of 6kW – enough to get to a nearby charging station.
Inside the cabin, Geely’s infotainment allows customisation and rapid processing speed thanks to a super 7nm chip. This chip allows for a lightning-fast response, making functions such as satellite navigation quicker than ever.
Meanwhile, apps such as Spotify can be run directly through the vehicle’s infotainment.
In the first half of 2025, Apple CarPlay will be available via an over-the-air (OTA) update and Android Auto connectivity in the second half of 2025 via the same mechanism.
Developing the EX5 for Australia
More than 12 months before its Australian launch, Geely commenced local testing and evaluation to ensure the EX5 would be fit for the Australian market.
Key areas included suspension revisions and ADAS system calibration, including the lane-keep assist, driver attention monitoring and even traffic sign recognition.
The EX5 has also been developed to minimise cabin NVH levels and provide effortless electric propulsion thanks to an 11-in-1 electric motor supplied by Infimotion. This motor, weighing 79.8kg, is not only lightweight but compact, too. The motor itself is oil-cooled. The electronic drive module is capable of spinning at speeds of up to 16,500rpm.
