Geely Reaches 100 Australian Dealerships 18 Months After Launch

Geely has hit a notable milestone in Australia, confirming the opening of its 100th dealership in Mandurah, Western Australia. The Chinese automaker only entered the Australian market in early 2025, meaning it has built a triple-digit retail footprint in roughly a year and a half.

The brand’s local rollout began modestly. When Geely launched in Australia in March 2025, it operated through just 22 dealers. By the close of that year, the network had doubled and reached every state and territory. Managing Director Alex Gu framed the 100-dealer mark as evidence of the brand’s momentum and its local growth ambitions, adding that the company is proud of the milestone.

Product momentum has tracked the retail push. Geely’s EX5 electric SUV has accumulated more than 15,000 Australian sales, making it one of the country’s stronger-selling EVs. It combines a 68 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery with a claimed WLTP range of 475 km, and supports DC charging at up to 100 kW, which takes the battery from 30 to 80 percent in around 20 minutes. Standard 11 kW AC charging, three-phase power and vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability round out its equipment list.

The smaller EX2 electric hatch, announced in December 2025 and launched a few months ago, has added nearly 3,000 sales in its first three months on the market. To keep that pace going, Geely recently introduced a 0.09 percent comparison-rate finance offer over 36 months on eligible EX5 and EX2 vehicles, following earlier cashback and finance incentives applied to the EX5.

With its dealer count now in triple digits, Geely says it is shifting attention toward regional and rural Australia, aiming to put its EVs closer to buyers outside the major cities. That expansion matters for a brand still establishing itself: wider rural coverage can turn a coastal and metro success story into a genuinely national one.
