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’.

Yes, Geely is indeed a Chinese manufacturer that specialises in electric vehicles. The company is based in Hangzhou, China, but has several R&D centres in Europe. Geely markets cars under its own ‘Geely’ brand while also acting as the parent company to many other famous car marques, including Volvo, Lotus, Polestar and Smart.
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.
