15th January 2026, Kathmandu

Geely EX5 Nepal Update
Apple and Android CarPlay support systems significantly enhance the overall driving experience by combining safety, convenience, and connectivity through seamless smartphone integration.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via Software Update
With hands-free voice commands powered by Siri or Google Assistant, drivers can make calls, send or receive messages, and navigate routes without physically handling their phones, helping keep their hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road.
The new support systems mirror a familiar smartphone interface onto the vehicle’s built-in display, using large, clear icons and intuitive layouts that make essential apps such as Maps, Spotify, and Messages easy to access while driving. Compared to standard Bluetooth connectivity, CarPlay often delivers superior audio quality for music and podcasts, ensuring a richer in-car entertainment experience.
Additionally, drivers benefit from real-time navigation and traffic updates through apps like Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze, along with safe management of calls and notifications. Fully integrated with the vehicle’s existing controls—including the touchscreen, steering wheel buttons, and built-in microphones the system offers a smooth, unified, and user-friendly driving environment.
The feature was introduced globally following strong demand from customers in international markets where the EX5 is sold and has now been rolled out in Nepal to ensure local consumers receive the same level of advanced in-car technology.
Customer-Centric Implementation in Nepal
In Nepal, the authorized distributor LRR Motors has already begun providing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support to all Geely EX5 vehicles sold since launch. According to the company, installations are being carried out by service teams visiting customers at convenient locations, including their homes and offices, ensuring a hassle-free upgrade experience.

“Directly supported by Geely Auto Group, China, this smart connectivity upgrade places the Geely EX5 on par with premium global EVs and reflects the evolving expectations of Nepali customers,” said Jeevan Jung Shahi, Managing Director of LRR Motors.
“There will be no requirement for additional installation in future imports, as both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems will come inbuilt in EX5 vehicles manufactured going forward,” said Adhir Kumar Shrestha, Head of Sales at LRR Motors.
Strengthening Geely’s Position in Nepal’s EV Market
The Geely EX5 has already gained strong traction in Nepal’s urban and highway-driving segments, supported by expanding dealership networks in cities such as Biratnagar and Butwal, with plans to establish a presence across all seven provinces in the coming year.
With the inclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the EX5 further solidifies its reputation as one of the most feature-rich electric SUVs currently available in Nepal, combining performance, comfort, safety, and smart connectivity.
Imported and distributed by LRR Motors, the Geely EX5 Pro and EX5 Max variants have been widely appreciated by customers for their spacious cabin, advanced infotainment system, long driving range, and cutting-edge safety features. The newly introduced smartphone integration adds another compelling reason for tech-savvy consumers to consider the EX5 as their preferred electric SUV.
As Nepal continues its transition toward sustainable and technology-driven mobility, Geely Auto Group’s focus on innovation and customer-centric upgrades reinforces its long-term commitment to the Nepali automotive market.
Since its launch in Nepal, the Geely EX5 has emerged as one of the most discussed and sought-after electric SUVs, drawing strong interest from customers for its modern design, premium interior, advanced safety technologies, and efficient electric performance. The addition of globally popular smartphone connectivity features now elevates the overall driving experience to international standards.
