Chinese automakers are not stopping in their efforts to enter the European market. Geely has introduced a new model that could become a competitor to the popular Toyota RAV4. However, there are some nuances that may influence the choice of buyers.
The new Geely Galaxy E5 model, reported by CarNewsChina, is already available for sale in China. For the European market, the car was renamed Geely EX5. Despite the manufacturer's ambitions, the model does not surprise with originality, and even the name did not receive a particularly creative approach.
In terms of design, the 2024 Geely EX5 cannot be called outstanding. Although the car is equipped with modern lighting equipment and stylish bumpers, its taillights resemble outdated Renault models. Chinese automakers continue to use proven templates, which often reduces the perception of originality.
In terms of dimensions, the Geely EX5 is comparable to the Toyota RAV4 and Kia Sportage, offering a competitive solution for family use. The length of the car is 4615 mm, the wheelbase is 2750 mm, the width is 1901 mm, and the height is 1670 mm. This electric car offers five seats for passengers and can become an attractive alternative in the compact crossover class.
The technical characteristics of the new Geely are also interesting. The electric motor with 218 hp and the official range of 500 km make it competitive on paper, although in reality this figure may be significantly lower if you take into account the peculiarities of European roads and climate.
The price of the Geely Galaxy E5 in China starts at $ 15,000, which makes it an attractive choice in Asia. However, for European consumers, the price will be significantly higher - the car is expected to cost almost three times as much.
