Tap the accelerator and the single motor setup delivers instant pull that makes city merges simple and highway ramps stress free. The 160 kW peak and 320 Nm help it reach 100 km per hour in 6.9 seconds while cruising smoothly at legal speeds. The 60.22 kWh battery targets 430 km WLTP so a week of mixed commuting in Dubai or Abu Dhabi feels easy with one or two top ups. The short blade pack and 11 in 1 drive unit improve thermal control and efficiency, and DC fast charging trims downtime during coffee stops. Note the brand also highlights a high performance 1.5 liter with 6AT powertrain in other contexts (the EX5 in the UAE is presented as a full EV).

Ride quality lands in the sweet spot for daily driving as the suspension rounds off speed bumps and settles quickly after bigger hits. At 120 km per hour the cabin targets about 68.3 dB so conversations stay clear and fatigue stays low on long Sheikh Zayed runs. Interior packaging claims 67.2 percent space utilization so both rows feel generous. Front seats recline fully and use five plus one layered cushions with ventilation, heating, and an eight point massage, while the rear bench offers a first class feel. Smart storage, hidden cubbies, and fold flat front seats make quick work of strollers, shopping, and weekend luggage.

Flyme Auto powers the interface and the Hi Geely voice assistant handles natural commands for climate and navigation. A bright 13.8 inch head up display targets up to about 12000 nits so key info stays readable under desert sun. Over the air updates keep features fresh. For audio, selectable profiles mimic a recording studio, an opera house, a concert, or a classic music hall so podcasts stay clear and bass feels rich without cranking volume.

Independent testing cites five star scores in Euro NCAP and ANCAP with a structure that uses eight horizontal and two vertical supports and a Cloverleaf energy dissipation approach. Battery compartment reinforcement helps protect cells under impact. The suite brings seven airbags plus Level 2 driver assistance that includes adaptive cruise, lane keeping, blind spot detection, lane change assist, door open warning, rear cross traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking. Design wise the wide body presence and Hellaflush stance add visual confidence while the golden ratio waistline shapes a clean profile that fits the UAE taste for statement looks without shouting.

Recent UAE listings typically position the EX5 range close to the entry point for electric SUVs in the market. Expect a starting figure around the 100,000 AED mark for base equipment and higher figures for better equipped trims that add premium seating functions, advanced audio, and extra convenience features. Final on road cost varies with VAT, registration, insurance, dealer campaigns, and accessories.
