The electric vehicle revolution has landed on the Sunshine Coast as Pacific Motor Group welcomes one of the world’s fastest-growing and most innovative automotive brands.

Geely is renowned for its futuristic design, cutting-edge technology and game-changing affordability.

The brand is set to disrupt the Australian electric vehicle (EV) market, leading the charge with the Geely EX5.

Pacific Motor Group general manager Alister Eiseman says Geely’s arrival on the local market is a transformational moment for Australian motoring.

“The road ahead is electric and it starts right here,” Mr Eiseman says.

“The launch event in Sydney showcased Geely’s unwavering commitment to the Australian market, highlighting their world-class innovation, incredible price points and features that punch well above their price tag.”

Mr Eiseman says Pacific Motor Group is “thrilled” to bring Geely to the Sunshine Coast, with the dealership offering a launch offer on the Geely EX5.

“The Geely EX5 has been tested and tuned for Australian conditions,” Mr Eiseman says.

“With the Geely EX5 starting at just $40,990 plus on-road costs, this is an EV that proves going electric doesn’t mean compromising on performance, tech or affordability.

To truly electrify their entry, Geely is offering unmissable launch incentives, giving drivers even more reason to make the switch.”

Geely’s core gives customers motoring confidence with a seven-year unlimited kilometre vehicle warranty, and an eight-year unlimited kilometre battery warranty.

Plus, buyers will receive up to seven years of service-activated roadside assistance and two years of connected car services.

Customers who purchase before April 30 this year will also receive complimentary public charging for a year, three years of complimentary scheduled servicing and a free 7kW home charger.

Mr Eiseman says this makes the transition to electric vehicles more accessible and rewarding than ever.

While the EX5 is Geely’s first vehicle in the Australian market, Mr Eiseman says more models will join Geely’s Australian line-up from later this year.

These models will include electric-only, plug-in hybrid EV and internal combustion engine options.

Geely is a top 10 global automotive company, selling more than three million units in 2024 worldwide.

The company has a technology-heavy focus and is a market leader in driver-assist technologies and safety.

Founded in 1986, Geely Holding owns and manages several iconic automotive brands, including Geely Auto, Volvo Cars, Polestar, Lotus, ZEEKR, Lynk & Co, London Electric Vehicle Company and Farizon.

Geely Sunshine Coast is open at 125 Sugar Road, Maroochydore, with test drives and orders available now.

“Geely Sunshine Coast has a full-service centre with factory trained service technicians,” Mr Eiseman says.
