UAE welcomes Geely EX5: A new era of electric SUVs
Built for eco-conscious drivers seeking tech, performance, and comfort
DUBAI: AGMC, the exclusive distributor of Geely Auto in the UAE, has launched the revolutionary Geely EX5, an all-electric SUV that marks the brand’s official entry into the region’s EV market.
Designed with futuristic architecture and cutting-edge features, the EX5 represents a significant step in the UAE’s move toward cleaner, smarter mobility.
Having already sold more than 150,000 units globally between July 2024 and May 2025, the EX5 is now ready to capture the UAE’s growing electric vehicle demand. Built on Geely’s breakthrough GEA platform – the world’s first four-in-one EV architecture – the SUV integrates hardware, software, ecology, and AI for an all-round enhanced driving experience.
Smart powertrain
At its core, the Geely EX5 boasts a robust 218 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque. The powertrain is supported by a 60.22 kWh battery, tailored for optimal performance across city and intercity routes. Safety is paramount, with the inclusion of Geely’s proprietary Short Blade Battery Safety System offering enhanced protection.
Inside, the vehicle is packed with innovation – from rain-sensing boneless wipers and ventilated massage seats to wireless charging and passive keyless entry. Parking is simplified through 360° surround vision, while comfort remains front and centre with a six-way adjustable driver’s seat.
Connected interior
The cabin reflects a refined user interface with a 15.4-inch infotainment display and multifunction steering wheel. Geely’s commitment to occupant safety has earned the EX5 five-star ratings from both Euro NCAP and ANCAP – two of the most respected crash test authorities globally.
The intelligent interior design mirrors the brand’s philosophy of intuitive mobility. Everything from infotainment to environment control is streamlined for seamless interaction, delivering a smooth and secure ride across varying terrains.
Future-ready vision
The UAE launch of the EX5 closely supports the country's Energy Strategy 2050, an initiative aimed at increasing the contribution of clean energy to 50% by mid-century. This model not only meets market needs but also reinforces national objectives toward zero-emission mobility.
Dr Andreas Schaaf, Group Director of AlBatha Automotive Group, described the launch as a significant milestone: “The Geely EX5 is the trailblazer in our New Energy Vehicle lineup. With the UAE’s dynamic EV ecosystem and strong government support, this is the perfect platform for our electric ambitions.”
The introduction of the Geely EX5 also coincides with the opening of a new flagship Geely showroom on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai. This facility will act as the hub for the brand’s full NEV range, highlighting Geely’s expanding regional footprint and strategic focus on sustainable technologies.
Global strategy
First launched in July 2024, the Geely EX5 has become one of the fastest-selling EVs in the Geely portfolio. Its entry into the GCC represents more than a regional expansion—it reflects the automaker’s global commitment to next-generation transportation.
Geely currently operates five global platforms that support 11 brands and more than 10 million vehicles sold to date. The company is expected to introduce additional electric models in the region, further solidifying its role as a leader in the New Energy Vehicle space.
The EX5 is part of a broader rollout of EVs and PHEVs that will be showcased across upcoming NEV showrooms in the UAE. This expansion reaffirms Geely’s mission to deliver accessible, future-focused solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern drivers.
