Early sales success for Geely EX5

GEELY AUTO has announced a strong order bank for its inaugural EX5 model in Australia, with over 600 orders placed in its first month on sale.

Further, the Chinese importer has delivered an impressive 188 vehicles in just 20 days, making what Geely Auto says is a “bold statement” as to the popularity of its Medium segment electric SUV Down Under.

Geely Australia chief executive officer Lei Li says the sales figures are a direct result of the “rapid pace” at which its local operations were established, praising the efforts of its 24-strong dealer network.

“We are glad that the initial feedback has been extremely positive,” he said.

“Introducing a new brand to a unique market like Australia requires more than just bringing a great car to the market; there is a lot of work that goes with that to ensure we have the right structure and offerings to exceed customers’ expectations.

“Geely’s commitment to exceptional quality and speed of operating shows in these successful and prompt deliveries of the Geely EX5 to our first local customers.”
