Choosing your next car is an exciting decision, but with more options than ever before, finding the right one can feel overwhelming. Whether you're making the switch to electric driving for the first time or looking for a practical family SUV, Geely's growing UK line-up offers something for a wide range of lifestyles.
In 2026, the Geely range currently includes the fully electric Geely EX5, the versatile Geely Starray EM-i plug-in hybrid, and the new arrival Geely EX2. Each has been designed with different drivers in mind, so the best choice depends on how and where you drive.
To help make your decision easier, we've compared each model and highlighted which type of driver they're best suited to.
If you're searching for one car that can do almost everything, the Geely EX5 stands out as the all-rounder of the range.
Offering generous passenger space, a practical boot and advanced technology throughout, the EX5 is designed for families, commuters and anyone wanting to embrace fully electric driving without compromising on comfort.
Its refined driving experience, quiet cabin and impressive range make it ideal for the school run, motorway journeys or weekend adventures.
For many buyers, the EX5 offers the best balance of practicality, technology and electric performance.
Not everyone is ready to move to a fully electric vehicle, and that's where the Geely Starray EM-i comes in.
It has a plug-in hybrid system that allows many everyday journeys to be completed using electric power alone, while the petrol engine provides reassurance for longer trips without needing to stop and recharge.
It's an excellent choice for drivers who regularly cover motorway miles or who don't yet have access to home charging.
The Starray EM-i offers many of the benefits of electric driving while removing concerns about charging infrastructure.

Whether you're making the switch to electric for the first time or simply looking for your next family SUV, we're here to help you find the perfect Geely for 2026.
The Geely EX5 and Starray EM-i are both worth considering if you need a spacious family SUV. Choose the fully electric EX5 if you want to move to electric driving, or the Starray EM-i if you prefer a plug-in hybrid with a petrol engine for longer journeys. For smaller families who prefer a compact car, the fully electric EX2 is another practical option.
The EX2 is a compact electric hatchback suited to commuting, town driving and everyday journeys. The EX5 offers a larger SUV format for drivers who want more space while staying fully electric. The Starray EM-i combines electric driving with petrol power, making it worth considering if you want the flexibility of a plug-in hybrid.
Both the EX2 and EX5 are good starting points. The EX2 is particularly appealing if you’re moving from a smaller petrol or diesel car, while the EX5 suits drivers who want a family SUV. Your usual mileage, charging options and space requirements will help determine which is right for you.
The fully electric EX2 and EX5 can offer low day-to-day energy costs, particularly when charged using a lower-cost home electricity tariff. Actual costs depend on your mileage, driving style and where you charge. The Starray EM-i can also reduce petrol use when charged regularly and driven on electric power for shorter journeys.
Yes. The Geely EX2 has arrived and is now available from Green 4 Geely Coventry and Leamington Spa. Our teams can help you compare the Pro, Max and Ultra models, explore current offers and check vehicle availability and delivery times.
Yes. Contact Green 4 Geely Coventry or Leamington Spa to arrange a test drive in the EX2, EX5 or Starray EM-i. Tell us which models you’re considering so we can confirm demonstrator availability and help you compare your options. We recommend booking ahead.
The Starray EM-i gives you the flexibility to drive using petrol when charging isn’t convenient. However, regular charging at work or at public charging points will help you make the most of its electric capability. The fully electric EX2 and EX5 may also suit you if you have reliable, convenient access to charging elsewhere.
Choose the EX2 if you prefer a compact hatchback for everyday journeys and parking in tighter spaces. Consider the EX5 if you need the extra room of a larger SUV. If you regularly carry pushchairs, luggage or other bulky items, bring them along when you visit to see which model best suits your needs.
Start with how far you drive, where you could charge and how much passenger and boot space you need. Our teams at Green 4 Geely Coventry and Leamington Spa can help you compare the EX2, EX5 and Starray EM-i, explain electric and plug-in hybrid ownership, and arrange a test drive.
