Deep Dive! 5 Amazing Things About the Geely EX5 That Scored Thousands of Bookings in Just Days, Expanding Dealerships Nationwide!
เจาะลึก! 5 เรื่องสุดปัง GEELY EX5 กวาดยอดจองหลักพันคันในไม่กี่วัน ขยายศูนย์ฯ ทั่วประเทศ! - [ที่สุด]
The Geely EX5 genuinely impressed me with its energy efficiency, packed interior tech, and surprisingly spacious cabin. It's a well-rounded family EV that delivers more than you'd expect at this segment.
First Impressions
Walking up to the Geely EX5 for the first time, I was struck by how polished it looks. The LED headlights are sharp, and the full-width rear light bar gives it a modern, premium presence on the road. Thousands of bookings in just days tells you something — this car clearly resonated with buyers the moment it was unveiled.
What impressed me most early on was learning that Geely actually listened to feedback from Thai drivers who tested the car first. The original suspension was deemed too soft, and they went ahead and firmed it up before wider delivery. That kind of responsiveness from a manufacturer earns serious respect.
Design and Interior
Inside, the EX5 feels like it belongs in a segment above. The two-tone interior options — either a light palette or a darker blue scheme — look sophisticated, and the materials are genuinely pleasant to touch. Soft-touch surfaces, faux wood-grain trim, and metallic accents create an upmarket ambiance that doesn't feel forced.
The triple-screen setup is the showpiece. A 13.8-inch head-up display, a 10.25-inch driver cluster, and a massive 15.4-inch center screen running at 2.5K resolution — it's a tech feast. Add 256-color ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof that actually opens for ventilation at 1.18 square meters, and this cabin becomes a genuinely enjoyable place to spend time.
Comfort and Practicality
The front seats deserve special mention. Geely calls them marshmallow seats, and honestly, they live up to the name. They hug you with small internal bolsters, offer ventilation for those brutal Thai afternoons, and come with 8-point massage. Both front seats get 3-position memory — even the passenger side, which is a rare touch.
Rear legroom is generous. At 180 cm tall, I had plenty of space behind my own driving position. The flat floor from the dedicated EV platform means the middle passenger isn't punished, and the rear bench reclines for added comfort. Boot space is a healthy 461 liters, expanding to a massive 1,877 liters with the 60/40 split seats folded. There's even a hidden sub-floor compartment and a drawer under the rear seat for extra storage.
Driving Experience and Efficiency
On the road, the 218-horsepower front motor feels more than adequate. With 320 Nm of torque, overtaking on the motorway is effortless, and the claimed 0-100 km/h time of around 7 seconds feels honest based on my experience. Hill climbs are handled without drama thanks to the generous torque.
But the real headline is efficiency. On my drive from Bangkok to Rayong — roughly 80 km of mixed city and highway driving at an average of about 100 km/h on the expressway — I recorded just 12.4 kWh per 100 km. That's genuinely impressive and puts the EX5 among the most efficient EVs in its class. In-city driving can drop below 10 kWh per 100 km, which means real-world range comfortably stretches beyond what you'd typically expect from a 60 kWh battery.
Charging and Tech Features
DC fast charging tops out at 100 kW, and from previous testing, I saw the battery go from 13% to 63% in just over 22 minutes — barely enough time for a bathroom break and a coffee. AC charging supports up to 11 kW, which is the highest in its class for home charging convenience.
The 14+2 speaker Filmy sound system pumping 1,000 watts is a genuine highlight. Two headrest speakers dedicated to the driver are a clever touch for private phone calls. Screen mirroring via Carbit Link works well but requires a wired USB connection, which feels a little old-school. V2L capability at 3,300 watts and V2V charging round out a practical and versatile tech package.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The EX5 earned 5-star ratings from both Euro NCAP and ANCAP, which speaks volumes about its structural integrity. The cell-to-body battery integration contributes to the rigid platform. Level 2 driver assistance includes intelligent cruise control that actively steers through curves, blind-spot monitoring with mirror alerts, lane-keeping assist, forward and rear collision warnings, and a smart 360-degree camera system with a transparent 3D vehicle view.
I found the intelligent cruise control particularly impressive on the highway — it manages speed, braking, and gentle cornering inputs smoothly, making long drives noticeably less fatiguing.
Final Verdict
The Geely EX5 is a thoroughly impressive package. It combines class-leading efficiency, a tech-loaded cabin, genuine comfort features, and strong safety credentials into a family EV that feels mature and well-sorted. Geely's aggressive expansion of service centers across Thailand — including large-scale facilities outside Bangkok — adds welcome peace of mind.
If you're shopping for a C-segment electric SUV and want maximum features without compromise, the EX5 should be at the top of your shortlist. It's not perfect — a wireless screen mirroring option and an AWD variant would be nice — but as it stands, this is one of the strongest value propositions in the Thai EV market right now.
