The Geely Galaxy E5 (Chinese: 吉利银河E5; pinyin: Jílì Yínhé E5), also known globally as the Geely EX5, and the Proton eMas 7 (stylised as e.MAS 7) in Malaysia, is a battery electric compact crossover SUV produced and manufactured by Chinese automaker Geely Auto.

First debuted in May 2024, it is the second battery electric vehicle within the company's Galaxy product line after the Galaxy E8 sedan. It is built on the Global Intelligent New Energy Architecture (GEA), which was derived from the company's self-developed Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA). A plug-in hybrid version of the car, the Galaxy Starship 7, was made available since October 2024, featuring a revised styling but retains some of its body panels as the former.

Overview

The vehicle was first revealed with a set of images in 7 May 2024, before debuting in China the following week of that month. It went on production in July 2024. Chinese sales were commenced in 3 August 2024. According to Geely, the Galaxy E5 was the first model to be developed in left-hand drive and right hand-drive simultaneously, indicating a greater focus on export markets. The vehicle was developed to compete with the BYD Yuan Plus/Atto 3, by closely approximating its specifications while offering a larger footprint to attract consumers. On 2 August 2024, the Galaxy E5 is announced to be sold in Malaysia under the Proton brand as the eMas 7. According to Proton, both the eMas 7 and Galaxy E5 were developed concurrently, with the company claims that they have sent 230 engineers and designers to China to be involved in the development to both vehicles. Proton's CEO, Li Chunrong stated that the joint development allows a shorter lead time on developing the right-hand drive version of both models, resulting greater efficiencies and sharing of development costs.

On 4 September 2024, Geely revealed its export name, the EX5, in a video posted on their YouTube channel, which it made its global debut the following week later in Germany at the 2024 Automechanika Frankfurt, with the company announced their plans to sell the vehicle in several markets such as Norway, Australia, Thailand and Indonesia.

The vehicle's software adopts the Flyme Auto operating system and Flyme Sound audio system, developed in conjunction with the company-owned Meizu. The system is powered by the Dragon Eagle-1 system on a chip (SoC), an automotive SoC produced with a 7 nm process.
