Frequently asked questions
Is the Geely EX5 worth the extra £1,995 over the Renault Megane?

The Renault Megane is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 133 mm narrower than the Geely EX5. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 632 mm of total clearance for the Renault Megane and about 499 mm of total clearance for the Geely EX5. The Renault Megane also turns in a 0.4 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
