2025 Geely EX5: Even more generous incentives for fledgling EV
Less than two months after its release, the new Geely EX5 is now being offered with even more generous incentives including a $2000 trade-in bonus, complimentary Mode 2 home charging cable and the choice of either a $2000 gift card or five years of free scheduled servicing.
The latest promotional offer for the new mid-size electric SUV, which single-handedly launched the Chinese auto brand in Australia in March, is available for all EX5 orders placed between today (May 1) and the end of the financial year (June 30).
It follows Geely's initial launch offer for the EX5 – priced from just $40,990 before on-road costs, making it Australia's cheapest mid-size electric SUV apart from the smaller BYD Atto 3 – which included three years of free servicing, one year of free public charging, free premium paint and a free home charger for orders placed before the end of April.

Geely also offered a 3.88 per cent finance comparison rate for the EX5, first customer deliveries of which started on March 12.
For the remainder of its first month on sale, the EX5 notched up 188 registrations, and Geely says it has now received 1000 orders for the new EV.
Geely has committed to releasing six new models in Australia within the next three years, including a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the EX5. Supplied Credit: CarExpert
For now, the EX5 is available in two single-motor, front-wheel drive electric variants producing 160kW of power and 320Nm of torque.
These include the entry-level Complete priced at $40,990 before on-roads, and the flagship Inspire priced at $44,990 plus on-roads, putting Geely Auto Australia's first EV on par with many of Australia's most popular petrol-, diesel and hybrid-powered medium SUVs.
'Geely understands the initial anxiety many Australians feel when considering their first electric vehicle,' said Geely Auto Australia CEO, Lei Li. Supplied Credit: CarExpert
'Questions around how and where to charge, ongoing costs of ownership, and how an EV compares to a traditional petrol or diesel car are very much front of mind for buyers. The EOFY offer has been designed to ease these concerns and make the transition to EV ownership feel simple, supported, and rewarding.
'More Australians are considering the switch to electric – not just for sustainability but for lifestyle, technology, and cost-of-ownership reasons. Our EOFY offer is all about giving buyers the green light to take the leap by first alleviating the hurdle of selling privately, and easing concerns around charging and servicing.'
The Geely EX5 is backed by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty, an eight-year/unlimited-km battery warranty, up to seven years of complimentary roadside assist and a five-star ANCAP safety rating.

Trump says trade deal with China ‘in very good shape' after call with Xi
Washington: US President Donald Trump said a trade deal with China was in good shape and accepted an invitation to visit Beijing after a 'very good phone call' with President Xi Jinping – their first since Trump returned to power in January. Trump said the call straightened out 'complexities' that remained from the preliminary agreement to lower tariffs struck during talks in Switzerland last month, including trade in rare earth minerals. 'I think we're in very good shape with China and the trade deal,' he said in the Oval Office shortly after the phone call. 'We've got a deal, we're just going to make sure that everybody understands what the deal is.' US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will lead a delegation to meet top Chinese officials and finalise details of the agreement, Trump said. He said the call lasted about an hour and a half and focused almost exclusively on trade, without canvassing the war in Ukraine or concerns Iran's nuclear technology. Trump said Xi had 'graciously' invited him and First Lady Melania Trump to visit China, and he reciprocated with an invitation for Xi to visit Washington. 'As Presidents of two Great Nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing,' Trump wrote on his social media platform TruthSocial. No dates were set for the visits. The Chinese foreign ministry said Trump initiated the call between the leaders of the world's two biggest economies.

Wall Street dips as investors focus on US jobs data
US stocks have dipped, dragged down by Tesla's shares, while investors looked ahead to the monthly jobs report to gauge the health of the labour market amid concerns of an economic slowdown. Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks with US President Donald Trump by phone, China's state-run news agency Xinhua reported, as bilateral relations have been strained by trade disputes. The call comes amid accusations between the US and China in recent weeks over critical minerals in a dispute that threatens to tear up a fragile truce in the trade war between the governments of the two biggest economies. Weaker-than-expected US private payrolls and services sector data on Wednesday raised concerns about the effects of Trump's erratic trade policies, with investors focusing squarely on Friday's non-farm payrolls report. Initial jobless claims data showed people in the US filing new applications for unemployment benefits last week rose for a second straight week. "I don't think it's some sort of big warning sign right now but it speaks to the fact that the labour market has been softening more and just getting gradually weaker," said Kevin Gordon, senior investment strategist at Charles Schwab. The jobs report comes ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy decision later this month, where policy makers are widely expected to hold interest rates. Despite continued calls from Trump to slash interest rates, Fed chair Jerome Powell has opted to stand pat so far, awaiting further data to help dictate the policy decision as tariff volatility prevails. US equities rallied sharply in May, with investors boosting the S&P 500 index and the tech-heavy Nasdaq to their biggest monthly percentage gain since November 2023, thanks to a softening of Trump's harsh trade stance and upbeat earnings reports. The S&P 500 remains nearly 3.0 per cent below record highs touched in February. US central bank officials including Fed Board governor Adriana Kugler, Fed Kansas City president Jeffrey Schmid and Fed Philadelphia president Patrick Harker are scheduled to speak later in the day. In early trading on Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 126.69 points, or 0.30 per cent, to 42,301.05, the S&P 500 lost 12.71 points, or 0.21 per cent, to 5,958.10 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 31.13 points, or 0.16 per cent, to 19,429.36. Eight of the 11 major S&P 500 sub-sectors fell, with consumer staples declining the most with an about 1.0 per cent fall. Brown-Forman fell 14.9 per cent, the most on the S&P 500, after the Jack Daniel's maker forecast a decline in annual revenue and profit. Procter & Gamble said it will cut 7000 jobs, or about 6.0 per cent of its workforce, over the next two years, as part of a restructuring. Shares of the consumer goods bellwether fell 1.3 per cent. Tesla fell 4.5 per cent, touching an over three-week low. The car maker's sales dropped for the fifth straight month in several European markets, data early this week has showed. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 1.08-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 1.46-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P 500 posted 12 new 52-week highs and three new lows while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 37 new highs and 16 new lows.
