Geely’s upcoming EX5 electric SUV is set to shake up Australia’s EV market with aggressive pricing that undercuts key rivals. Ahead of its official launch on March 11, leaked pricing from RedBook reveals the EX5 will start at $43,490 for the Complete trim and $47,490 for the Inspire trim before on-road costs.
This positions the EX5 well below competitors in the mid-size SUV segment like the Tesla Model Y, Kia EV5, and BYD Sealion 7, making it one of its segment's most affordable electric SUVs. The BYD Sealion 7 Premium starts at $54,990, the Kia EV5 Air at $56,770, and the Tesla Model Y Juniper RWD at $63,400.

Notably, these figures are lower than Geely Australia’s initial estimates, which suggested a price range of $49,000 to $55,000.

The first batch of EX5 SUVs is set to arrive in Australian ports shortly, with deliveries expected across Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth.
The EX5 is a mid-size electric SUV measuring 4,615mm long and 1,901mm in width, with a 2,750mm wheelbase. It features a 160kW/320Nm electric motor powered by a 60.2kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, offering a WLTP range of up to 430km for the Complete trim with 18-inch wheels. The higher-spec Inspire trim comes with 19-inch wheels and has an estimated range of 410km.
