7.5 / 10The Geely EX5 electric brings competitive value to the UAE's compact EV SUV segment, offering a genuine 475 km WLTP range, a premium-feeling cabin, and a 7-year warranty from an established distributor — all at under AED 100,000 for the entry trim. It's a credible alternative to Korean and European rivals at a meaningfully lower price point, though the brand is still building service network familiarity in the region.
Who it's for — Value-conscious UAE buyers who want a long-range electric SUV with modern tech and a strong warranty, and are comfortable with a newer Chinese brand backed by AGMC.
