The Geely story began in 1986 with a simple but powerful idea. When founder, Eric Li, chose the name Geely, meaning ‘lucky’, it was about much more than just good fortune. His ambition was to build something that would move people forward with confidence and optimism. Today, that same spirit drives everything Geely does.
At Geely, our story began in 1986 with a simple but powerful idea, an idea that has driven us to become one of the world’s most forward-thinking automotive groups.

We are Geely Auto UK, the UK arm of Geely Auto Group. Having entered the market in 2025 with our first electric SUV, the Geely EX5, we’re continuing to grow rapidly as we build a nationwide dealer and service network.
