Earlier in March, Geely Galaxy announced its first pure electric SUV called “E5”. Recently, the new car was declared on the latest batch of the Chinese MIIT and is expected to enter the market in May with an approximate price range of 150,000 – 200,000 yuan (20,700 – 27,600 USD). The E5 is Geely Galaxy’s fourth model after the L7, L6, and E8.
The design of the Geely Galaxy E5 is inspired by the universe, pursuing traces of light and natural rhythms, according to the brand. Currently, it’s reported that both the left and right-hand drive models are being developed and tested at the same time, and will be exported to the overseas market. Positioned as a compact SUV, the size of the Geely Galaxy E5 is 4615/1901/1670 mm, and the wheelbase is 2750 mm.

According to the declaration information, the Geely Galaxy E5 also provides optional front bumper, rear radar, black external mirrors, headlights, black brand logo, different styles of front windshields, black decorative strips on window frames, black luggage racks, rims, a front radar, and sunroof designs.
Furthermore, there are two tire options: 225/55R18 and 235/50R19.
On February 19, Geely CEO, Gan Jiayue, announced that Geely Galaxy plans to launch three new energy vehicles this year, including one plug-in hybrid model and two pure electric models.
