Kathmandu, Nepal – June 18, 2025 – The Nepalese auto market is abuzz with the arrival of the highly anticipated Geely Galaxy E5, a new electric SUV from the Chinese automotive giant. Imported by LRR Group, the official distributor for Geely in Nepal, the Galaxy E5 is currently undergoing testing, signaling its imminent launch in the rapidly growing EV segment.
While Geely’s global strategy often sees collaborations like the one with Huawei for its in-car tech, the Galaxy E5 arrives in Nepal under the “Flyme Auto” concept, promising a seamless and intelligent user experience. LRR Group is bringing in two variants: the Geely Galaxy E5 Pro and the Geely Galaxy E5 Max, catering to a wider range of customers.
Power, Performance, and Range Built for Nepal
Both variants of the Galaxy E5 are powered by a 60.22 kWh CATL-certified battery pack, which boasts an impressive 530-kilometer range. This substantial range is a critical feature for Nepal’s diverse geographical terrain, offering peace of mind for both city commutes and longer inter-city travel across its challenging landscapes.
The Galaxy E5 is built on Geely’s cutting-edge Global Electric Architecture (GEA), designed specifically for modern electric vehicles. It features a potent single front-mounted electric motor delivering 160 kW of power, enabling a top speed of 175 km/h. This performance is more than adequate for daily driving needs and provides ample power for highway cruising.
Dimensions and Rapid Charging Capabilities
The Geely Galaxy E5 measures 4615 mm in length, 1901 mm in width, and 1670 mm in height, with a generous 2750 mm wheelbase. These dimensions suggest a spacious interior while maintaining agility for urban environments.
Charging convenience is a key highlight. The Galaxy E5 supports DC fast charging at 100 to 110 kW, allowing the battery to charge from 30% to 80% in just 20 minutes. This rapid charging capability significantly reduces downtime, making long journeys more feasible. The vehicle also incorporates an 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive system, which not only reduces overall weight but also enhances the vehicle’s efficiency and performance.
Safety and Smart Interior Design
Safety is paramount in the Galaxy E5, which has achieved a Five-Star rating in international safety tests like Euro NCAP. The SUV comes equipped with seven airbags, cruise control, emergency braking, and a suite of other advanced ADAS features, providing comprehensive protection for occupants.
The interior of the Galaxy E5 is both inviting and technologically advanced. Dominating the dashboard is a large 15.4-inch infotainment display, complemented by a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster. Standard features include an electric parking brake and ventilated disc brakes. The Flyme Auto OS promises an intuitive and smooth user experience, integrating vehicle functions with smart connectivity.
Comfort is not overlooked, with the driver’s seat featuring heating, ventilation, and massage functions. The immersive audio experience is delivered through a premium 16-speaker sound system. Further enhancing the modern cabin are a wireless mobile charger and a panoramic sunroof, adding to the luxury feel.
Driving Dynamics and Market Impact
The driving experience in the Galaxy E5 is designed for balance and comfort, thanks to its Australian-tuned suspension. This specific tuning is expected to provide a smooth and comfortable ride even on Nepal’s often challenging and pothole-ridden roads, adapting well to local conditions.
Nepal has seen a rapid surge in interest for electric vehicles in recent years. Growing environmental awareness, rising fuel prices, and an increasing appreciation for modern technology are driving consumers towards EVs. In this opportune environment, Geely’s introduction of the Galaxy E5, which aims to strike a perfect balance of value, technology, and design, is set to make a significant impact on the Nepalese EV market.
