LONDON: Geely Auto will enter the UK market with the debut of its Geely EX5, an all-electric C-Segment SUV that's a twin of the Proton e.MAS 7.
Sales are expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2025.
In a statement, Geely Auto says this move begins the company's commitment to delivering a diverse range of high-quality, accessible vehicles tailored for the UK.
Initial UK versions of the Geely EX5 are also undergoing intensive development work to ensure they meet the demands of the market.
Geely Auto UK called upon Geely partner firm Lotus Engineering for the firm’s expertise in chassis and dynamics assessment.
Lotus Engineering was commissioned for a comprehensive evaluation of the Geely EX5 and has undergone subjective and objective assessment by Lotus Engineering dynamics experts on roads, the Lotus test track and a multi-post rig.
The independent report is a strong foundation for any future tuning of the Geely EX5 tailored to European roads and customer driving styles.
Geely Auto UK general manager Mike Yang said, “We’re aware that UK customers have unique demands. “For that reason, before we release the car for sale, we’re working with the experts at Lotus Engineering to make sure we have a car that’s in line with expectations."
Meanwhile, Geely Auto UK, the first distributor in Europe, marks another significant milestone in the company's global expansion.
