Geely EX5 EM-i

The EX5 is equipped with an approximately 60 kWh LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery, prioritising durability and thermal stability. The official WLTP range is quoted at up to 475 km, placing it competitively within the segment. LFP chemistry is well suited to UAE conditions due to improved resistance to heat-related degradation compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. Real-World Range In UAE conditions, range expectations should be adjusted realistically. High ambient temperatures, frequent use of air conditioning, and sustained highway speeds all impact efficiency. A typical reduction of 15–25% from WLTP figures should be expected. This translates to: The EX5 performs consistently within expected EV norms but does not lead the class in range.

The EX5 supports 11 kW AC charging, making it suitable for UAE villa wallbox setups. Apartment dwellers may face limitations depending on building infrastructure. Compatibility with UAE Charging Infrastructure The EX5 uses a CCS2 charging standard, fully compatible with: DC fast charging supports up to 160 kW, though typical UAE public chargers range between 50 kW and 150 kW. Battery and Charging Table

The EX5 offers a spacious and practical interior with strong usability for families. Rear seat space is generous, supported by a 2,750 mm wheelbase, providing sufficient legroom and headroom for adult passengers. Rear air vents, multiple USB ports, and flexible seating enhance comfort. Storage is a strong point, with numerous compartments and functional cabin design, including a large drawer under the rear seats.

The driving position is upright and SUV-like, with good visibility across all angles. Seat adjustment is adequate, and ergonomics are straightforward. The cabin layout is dominated by a central touchscreen, reducing physical controls but maintaining usability through responsive software.

Air conditioning performance is critical in UAE conditions, and the EX5 performs adequately. Materials do not retain excessive heat, and overall thermal comfort is acceptable for daily use.

The load area is practical and usable for family needs, with a flat floor and wide opening.

The EX5 features a 15.4-inch touchscreen system with Geely’s Flyme Auto interface.

The EX5 is equipped with a full ADAS suite: It holds a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, reinforcing its safety credentials. Battery safety is enhanced through LFP chemistry and structural integration.

How Does it Drive? The EX5 prioritises ease of driving. Steering is light, visibility is strong, and overall usability is high. It is well-suited to urban driving and daily commuting.

Acceleration is smooth and predictable. At highway speeds (120 km/h), performance remains adequate for overtaking, though not aggressive. Cabin noise is well controlled at speed.

Regenerative braking is present and adjustable. The system is smooth and easy to adapt to, though full one-pedal driving is limited.

ADAS systems function effectively, though not as refined as premium competitors. Lane assist and adaptive cruise are usable for long highway journeys.

The front-wheel-drive layout results in mild understeer under load. Grip levels are sufficient for normal driving. Parking is easy due to camera systems and manageable dimensions.

Ride comfort is well balanced. Suspension absorbs road imperfections without excessive harshness. Suitable for long-distance commuting. UAE SPEC, PRICING AND COSTS

Both trims offer strong equipment levels compared to UK variants.

AGMC is the official UAE distributor, providing: Parts availability and aftersales support are expected to be stable. Cost of Ownership Depreciation risk remains uncertain due to new brand entry.
