2. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/geely-debuts-ex5-in-the-uk-driving-its-expansion-into-europes-rapidly-growing-ev-segment-302592840.html - Geely Auto has officially launched the Geely EX5, an award-winning all-electric SUV, in the United Kingdom. This move underscores Geely's commitment to sustainable mobility and its ambition to become a leading force in the European market. The company has set ambitious goals for the UK market, targeting annual sales of 100,000 vehicles by 2030. This growth will be supported by a nationwide network of 100 sales and service outlets by 2026, complemented by a robust parts distribution and maintenance system, ensuring exceptional service for every owner across the country. Jerry Gan, CEO of Geely Auto Group, stated, "Entering the UK market marks a significant milestone in deepening Geely's European strategy and heralds a new chapter in electric mobility across Europe. We are committed to delivering innovative and sustainable products while building enduring relationships of mutual trust with our customers and partners. Geely Auto looks forward to advancing alongside the European market and co-creating the future." Before entering the UK market, Geely Auto had already established a presence in 12 European countries, including Poland, Greece, and Croatia. Backed by world-class R&D centers across Europe and Asia and a strong business footprint, Geely Auto will continue to advance into key markets such as Italy, Germany, France, and Spain. Over the next five years, Geely Auto is scheduled to launch 15 new vehicles tailored for European consumers, aiming to establish itself as a mainstream automotive brand in Europe, supported by a network of over 1,000 sales outlets. The Geely EX5's UK debut builds on impressive global momentum, with its availability in 33 countries and remarkable success across diverse markets. For example, Australia has embraced the model with exceptional enthusiasm, achieving rapid growth since its launch in March 2025. In Brazil, the EX5 dominated its segment, securing the number one sales position for two consecutive months following its official launch. Geely Auto's parent company, Geely Holding Group, has maintained deep roots in the UK for nearly two decades. The company's presence began in 2006 with an investment and partnership with the London Taxi Company, which later became LEVC under Geely's ownership, and still produces the award-winning and zero-emission taxi vehicle. Since then, Geely Holding has expanded its footprint through strategic investment in iconic British brands such as Lotus and Aston Martin, driving innovation in electrification and luxury mobility.

The EX5 is currently undergoing intensive development to meet the standards of British consumers and will be the first of a planned range of accessible, high-quality vehicles designed for the UK market. Geely enters a growing segment of Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers in the UK, joining brands like BYD, Chery's Omoda and Jaecoo, and Xpeng. The UK, Europe's largest EV market, has not imposed tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, unlike the EU. Geely also plans to introduce the EX5 in other international markets including Australia, Brazil, and Poland. The company’s other brands, including Volvo Cars, Lotus, and Polestar, already operate in the UK. In 2024, Geely's global sales rose by 34%, reaching nearly 2.2 million vehicles.

7. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/geely/367249/geely-coming-uk-and-its-assault-will-start-ex5-suv - Geely has announced that its EX5 all-electric SUV is to go on sale in the UK this October, priced from £31,990. It marks the introduction of the brand to British customers, but unlike many of the newer Chinese manufacturers appearing on our shores, the Geely name might already be familiar, since it is already the parent company of Volvo, Polestar, and Lotus. While more details on the dealer network that will sell the EX5 are to come, we do know about the car itself. It’s a mid-size SUV that will rival the Skoda Enyaq, Kia EV6, and the Hyundai Ioniq 5, as well as other cheaper Chinese models like the Leapmotor C10. Geely hopes to open its own network of dealerships, rather than share or join its sub-brands’ existing franchises.
