Geely EX5 Launches in the UAE, Pushing the Boundaries of Electric Mobility
Following its global debut in July 2024, the EX5 has already exceeded 150,000 units sold by May 2025. Making its regional entrance, this next-generation electric SUV sets a new benchmark in smart design, high-efficiency performance, and sustainable innovation.
At the heart of the EX5 is Geely's groundbreaking GEA architecture—the world's first platform to fully integrate hardware, software, artificial intelligence, and a smart environment into one cohesive system. This isn't just advanced tech—it's a redefinition of the driving experience.
Powered by a 60.22 kWh battery, the EX5 delivers 218 hp and 320 Nm of torque, offering seamless performance on both city streets and highways. Safety remains a top priority, with the exclusive Short Blade Safety Battery System and a full suite of intuitive features including frameless rain-sensing wipers, a six-way massage seat, wireless charging, smart keyless entry, and a 360° surround camera.
Inside, the cabin is clean, connected, and focused on the user. A 15.4-inch infotainment screen and multifunction steering wheel headline a tech-forward interior that blends comfort with modern elegance. With five-star safety ratings from both Euro NCAP and ANCAP, the EX5 is built to perform under any conditions.
The launch also aligns with the UAE Energy Strategy 2050, supporting the nation's shift toward clean, efficient mobility.
Dr. Andreas Schaaf, Director of Al Batha Automotive Group, called the launch 'a landmark moment' for the brand, underscoring the UAE's readiness to lead in electric vehicle adoption. The debut also coincides with the opening of AGMC's new flagship Geely showroom on Sheikh Zayed Road—a space dedicated to showcasing the future of sustainable transport.
As the first Geely new energy vehicle (NEV) to arrive in the Gulf, the EX5 signals the beginning of a broader regional strategy. With more electric and plug-in hybrid models on the way, Geely is inviting tech lovers and forward-thinkers across the UAE to experience the future of driving—today.

Oil Prices Rise as Iran Suspends Cooperation with UN Nuclear Watchdog
Oil futures edged up on Wednesday as Iran suspended cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog and markets weighed expectations of more supply from major producers next month, while the US dollar softened further. Brent crude was up 55 cents, or 0.8%, to $67.66 a barrel at 1301 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude rose 58 cents, or nearly 0.9%, to $66.03 a barrel. Brent has traded between a high of $69.05 a barrel and low of $66.34 since June 25, as concerns of supply disruptions in the Middle East have ebbed following a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Iran enacted a law on Wednesday that stipulates any future inspection of its nuclear sites by the International Atomic Energy Agency needs approval by Tehran's Supreme National Security Council. The country has accused the agency of siding with Western countries and providing a justification for Israel's air strikes, according to Reuters. "The market is pricing in some geopolitical risk premium from Iran's move on the IAEA," said Giovanni Staunovo, a commodity analyst at UBS. "But this is about sentiment, there are no disruptions to oil." Planned supply increases by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies including Russia, a group known as OPEC+, appear already priced in by investors and are unlikely to catch markets off-guard again imminently, said Priyanka Sachdeva, senior market analyst at brokerage Phillip Nova. Four OPEC+ sources told Reuters last week the group plans to raise output by 411,000 barrels per day next month when it meets on July 6, a similar amount to the hikes agreed for May, June and July. "We are all talking about additional supply coming to the market, but the supply has not really hit the market," UBS' Staunovo said. "Probably because it's being consumed domestically." Overall OPEC+ exports are relatively flat to slightly down since March, Staunovo said. He expects this trend to persist over the summer as hot weather drives higher energy demand. The greenback continued to weaken, falling to a 3-1/2-year low against its major peers on Wednesday. A weaker dollar tends to support oil prices, as it can boost demand for buyers paying in other currencies. The release of the key US monthly employment report on Thursday will shape expectations around the depth and timing of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in the second half of this year, said Tony Sycamore, an analyst at IG. Lower interest rates could spur economic activity, which would in turn boost oil demand. Official US oil stockpile data from the Energy Information Administration is due to be released at 10:30 a.m. EDT (1430 GMT) on Wednesday. American Petroleum Institute data late on Tuesday showed US crude oil inventories rose by 680,000 barrels in the past week at a time when stockpiles are typically drawn down amid summer demand, sources said.
