Last verified: 5 October 2026 · Prices and specs re-verified against manufacturer AU pages monthly.
Geely is the quiet giant of global EVs — owner of Volvo, Polestar and Lotus — and its Australian beachhead is the EX5: a mid-size electric SUV priced against petrol RAV4s, not other EVs.
The pitch is space and equipment per dollar. The questions are resale and a still-small dealer footprint — both worth weighing against the sharp drive-away pricing.

Frequently asked questions
Too early for Australian long-term data, but the EX5 shares architecture with proven Geely group products and the LFP battery is a low-drama chemistry. The 7-year warranty covers the risk window.
EX5 is larger and newer-feeling; Atto 3 has the established service network and stronger resale track record. Drive both — they're within a few hundred dollars.
