GEELY GALAXY E5/EX5 REVIEW - THE BYD ATTO 3 WON'T KNOW WHAT HIT IT

EV Channels Review

The Geely Galaxy E5 (or EX5 for international markets) is positioned as Geely's first global EV, aiming to challenge established players like the BYD Atto 3. The reviewer highlights its larger size, competitive pricing, and a significantly more feature-rich interior as key advantages. Notable interior features include a 15.4-inch infotainment screen, a head-up display, massaging seats, and a 16-speaker sound system, all standard. The E5 boasts a practical and spacious cabin, with a versatile boot that can expand significantly. On the road, the E5 offers brisk acceleration (0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds) and a comfortable ride, though the steering is described as soft and woolly in its current Chinese market tune. The reviewer notes that suspension and steering are expected to be tuned for international markets. Real-world highway efficiency averaged 16.4 kWh/100km. While the ISOFIX mounts are inconveniently placed, the overall package is deemed highly impressive and a strong contender for global success due to its blend of space, features, performance, and affordability.
