Geely has introduced a new sales incentive alongside its upgraded EX5 Extended Range model, offering 1.88% comparison rate finance over 36 months and a free 7 kW home charger on eligible vehicles.
The move follows a $2,500 cashback offer that ran over the past two months, as Geely looks to maintain sales momentum, and comes shortly after the announcement of the new Extended Range model, delivering up to 475 km of WLTP range – up from 430 km previously.
The offer applies to new in-stock EX5 vehicles purchased before 31 March 2026.
The AC home wall charger is a 7 kW single-phase unit and will be available with the car but won’t include installation.
On the company’s website, it says: “Geely EX5 Extended Range: With up to 475km WLTP range, 1.88% p.a. Comparison Rate with No Deposit for a 36-Month Term. Plus Free EV Home Charger*. Offer Ends 31 March 2026.” The new Geely EX5 Extended sees a $1,000 price increase across both Complete and Inspire variants.
The new battery will see the entry-level Geely EX5 Complete top out with a range of 475km, up 45km, whereas the more powerful EX5 Inspire will now see its range increased to 450km, up 40km.
“I’m thrilled to announce the battery upgrade to the Geely EX5,” said Alex Gu, CEO at Geely Auto Australia.
“This model has continued to evolve to meet customer needs through software refinements, and is now further value enhanced with extended range and new standard inclusions.”
The upgraded battery continues to utilise the company’s Short Blade battery technology and has been subjected to and passed Geely’s so-called “Devil’s Test” which proves the battery’s safety and durability in a range of extreme scenarios including everything from immersion in corrosive seawater, extreme hot and cold environments, high-frequency scraping from below, 26-tonne overweight rolling, side collision, and even exposure to open flame.
Charging the car from 30-80% will take around 20 minutes with 100 kW peak DC charging speeds available. 11 kW AC charging is also on offer for those with a three-phase power source.
On top of that, vehicle-to-load (V2L) is available with a discharge rate of up to 3.3 kW.
Geely launched in Australia with the EX5 SUV almost a year ago, in March 2025. Geely says it has sold more than 5,000 vehicles locally over the past 12 months.
In 2025, it ranked among the top-5 best-selling EVs in the market. See The Driven’s data here for Australian EV sales by month in 2025, further broken down by model and by brand.
Over the last 12 months, Geely has offered multiple incentives to attract buyers, from free charging to cashback of thousands of dollars per sale, which helped the brand maintain strong volumes.
The latest round of incentives for the newer EX5 shows that competition in the mid-size electric SUV segment is on the rise and likely to intensify as more new models enter the market in the months to come.
The Driven will test the updated EX5 Extended Range in the coming months to see how it stacks up in an increasingly crowded mid-size electric SUV segment.

No mention of how they got the extra range. 10% increase in size? 10% more efficient?
OK from What Car/ Wheels. "Thanks to a larger new 68.39kWh battery (+8.17kWh compared with the pre-updated model)".
So 13.5% more capacity for 10.5% more range. I guess the extra weight doesn't help.
This car was impressive when test driven. It would be a no brainer to purchase for my single car family if I had over 150kw charging speeds preferably around 200kw. It's possible at that price range with the Aion V. Unfortunately I find the Aion hard on the eyes
