Geely NZ Launches EX5 Electric SUV to Challenge Midsize Rivals
Geely NZ has launched its new pure-electric SUV, the EX5, aiming to compete with key midsize ICE, HEV, and PHEV rivals. The EX5 will be available in showrooms from April, with pre-orders open at the official NZ dealer website. The entry price has been confirmed at $51,990 for the Complete model and $55,990 for the Inspire model.
The EX5 comes with an impressive standard warranty package, including 7-year, unlimited-km cover, 8-year, unlimited-km battery warranty, 7-year roadside assist, and 2 years of connected car data. The Inspire model boasts additional luxuries such as a panoramic sunroof, six-mode massage front seats, and a 16-speaker sound system. The Complete model offers a 15.4-inch central touchscreen, powered and heated front seats, and an impressive range of up to 430km (WLTP).
Geely NZ offers a launch offer for the EX5, including a 3-year service plan up to 60,000km and free metallic paint (normally $950).

With its attractive pricing, generous warranty, and appealing features, the EX5 is well-positioned to challenge established players and gain market share. Consumers are advised to consider a test drive and compare specifications to make an informed decision.
