Geely was founded in 1986 by entrepreneur Eric Li and entered the world of automotive manufacturing a decade later in 1997.
The Geely name itself means ‘lucky’ in Chinese and the firm’s ethos is to ‘power progress’ with its stylish electrified vehicles.
While Geely might not be a name you’re instantly familiar with, the company also owns or has major stakes in many car companies that are household names - including Volvo, Lotus, Polestar, Smart, Zeekr, and Farizon.
Geely entered the UK car leasing market in 2025 with the EX5, an affordable, fully-electric SUV to rival competitors like the Skoda Enyaq and BYD Atto 3.
While Geely might be headquartered in Hangzhou, China, it also operates several R&D centres in Europe - including a design hub in Coventry.
That means its cars are honed for UK roads and the Geely EX5 achieved a full five-star safety rating from industry assessors Euro NCAP ahead of its launch.
Geely’s global heft means it has also launched its own network of low-earth orbit satellites - called ‘GeeSpace’ - to enhance vehicle connectivity and autonomous driving capabilities.
Meanwhile the company says it’s ‘bringing the practical and the magical together to heighten the everyday’ while it ‘relentlessly seeks to deliver next-level automotive experiences’.

If you’re looking to lease an affordable, fully-electric SUV and you’re not afraid to look beyond the traditional German, Korean or Japanese brands, the Geely EX5 is well worth a look. It offers a range of up to 267 miles and all variants, including the entry-level models, are well equipped as standard.
Yes, Geely is inextricably linked with several other major automotive brands. While the firm markets its own ‘Geely’ cars in the UK, the company also owns or has major stakes in manufacturers including Volvo, Lotus, Polestar, Smart and Farizon.

Jon was excellent throughout the process, and really worked hard for me. There was a small price discrepancy, as the “in stock deal” on the website only indicated the price for a base model without any additional options, which was not actually possible to order - which I felt was a little misleading. However, Jon worked up a deal I was happy with, and communicated very well throughout the process - including following up with some issues after delivery. I will definitely use again.
Yeh, good service a bit of headache filling forms couple of times but turn around was very good and with the maintenance cover it’s peace of mind.
What's great: I'm now driving a lovely Lexus at a far more affordable price than I could find elsewhere. My contract includes a full maintenance deal which isn't always available with other providers. The sales process and arranging the finance was a good experience, with lots of support from Dave. Thanks Dave! BUT ... Once the contract had been agreed, communication was terrible. I was told that I would get access to the portal (which is the only way to track progress) 'shortly': it took 2 weeks and multiple phone calls and emails (initiated by me)to gain access. Promises to phone me back were not met. In the end, Dave sorted it out. Thanks Dave. The portal looked promising as it appeared that I could track my car's journey from the factory in Japan to delivery. However, apart from me uploading identity documents to it (not acknowledged until I got in contact), the portal did not change except to put my expected delivery date back a month (no explanation). Then out of the blue, the Lexus dealership phoned me to say that my car was ready for collection. This was surprising as the portal located the car in Japan, and gave me a bit of a dilemma as I needed to get rid of my current car at very short notice (anyone looking for an Audi Q2?). Nothing from Select Car until I contacted them to say where the car was. Their failure to contact me was apparently the Lexus dealership's fault in some way ... which I find hard to believe to be honest. I made the decision to collect the car rather than have it delivered, in order to get a proper dealership handover, which I was told was fine. Only nothing happened until I phoned Select Car and was told that I had to arrange collection directly with the dealer. That was news to me, but I did it, and was then sent regular emails informing me that my car was due to be delivered to my house on that date. A few more phone calls followed to sort that out ... Maybe I just had a poor experience. Maybe if you go for a car that is in stock rather than a factory order the process might be smoother. At the end of the day, I did get my car at a good price and within the original time frame, so on reflection I've changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars. But it was a frustrating journey which some joined-up communications at Select Car would have made a happier overall experience.
