GEELY EX5 ELECTRIC SUV LEAKED PRICING FOR AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

The Geely EX5 is poised to enter the Australian market with leaked pricing suggesting a competitive entry point, with the base model potentially starting around $43,990 and the top spec at $47,490. Riz Akhtar, after attending a drive day, reports that the EX5 offers a comfortable ride, improved handling compared to its Chinese market predecessor, and a generous standard equipment list including massage seats and a heads-up display. A key highlight is its "Fime" (Flyme) chip, benchmarked against leading processors, and the inclusion of physical HVAC buttons. However, the lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto at launch is a significant drawback, though these are promised via OTA updates in Q2 and Q3. The vehicle's styling is described as somewhat generic, but its competitive pricing and feature set, especially with the new battery technology, could make it a strong contender against rivals like the BYD Atto 3 and Tesla Model 3.
