Feature Showdown
The Geely EX5 features a 15.4-inch touchscreen paired with a 10.2-inch digital dash, while the GMC Yukon gets a 16.8-inch display and 11-inch instruments. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.

Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Geely EX5 runs a pure electric powertrain producing 160kW and 320Nm of torque, sent through its transmission to a FWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 6.9 seconds.
The GMC Yukon responds with a 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management making 313kW and 624Nm, paired to a 10-speed automatic driving all four wheels.
The GMC Yukon has the clear power advantage at 313kW vs 160kW. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Geely EX5 measures 4,615mm long on a 2,750mm wheelbase, 722mm shorter than the GMC Yukon at 5,337mm (3,071mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the GMC Yukon generally means more rear legroom.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Geely EX5's turning circle is 1.6 m tighter, 10.8 m against 12.4 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, electricity for the Geely EX5 costs about $768 a year (16 kWh/100km) and fuel for the GMC Yukon about $3,648 a year (12.8 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh.
Warranty: 7 years / Unlimited (Geely EX5) and 3 years / 100k km (GMC Yukon).
Where each one leads
The Geely EX5: the lower starting price ($41,990 against $174,990) and the longer warranty (7 years against 3).
The GMC Yukon: more power (313kW against 160kW).
The Verdict
Geely EX5 scores higher, 72 vs 50
The Geely EX5 scores 72 to the GMC Yukon's 50 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 3 of the 4 spec rows that separate them, at the lower price. The biggest gaps: value (Geely EX5 ahead by 59 points), practicality (GMC Yukon ahead by 19 points). Warranty: 7 years on the Geely EX5, 3 on the GMC Yukon.

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
