Geely Kicks Off EX5 EM-i Production in Brazil, Strengthening Renault Partnership

Geely has begun assembling the EX5 EM-i at the Ayrton Senna facility in Brazil, with the model scheduled to hit the Brazilian market before the end of the year. The move marks a deeper collaboration between Geely and Renault, as the two automakers continue to expand their joint efforts in the region.

The EX5 EM-i, a plug-in hybrid SUV, is the first Geely model to be produced at this plant. This local assembly is expected to help Geely navigate import duties and better compete in South America’s largest auto market. The partnership with Renault leverages the French company’s existing manufacturing footprint and supply chain, allowing Geely to establish a stronger presence in the region.

Details about pricing, specifications, and the exact launch date have not yet been announced. However, the start of production signals Geely’s commitment to growing its international footprint through strategic alliances and localized manufacturing.
