Get ready to be amazed by the Geely EX5's revolutionary steering system! This electric crossover is taking the automotive world by storm with its unique 90-degree steering capability. Imagine being able to turn your car on a dime, effortlessly navigating tight parking spots, and even driving sideways like a crab! But here's where it gets controversial...
On December 12, 2025, Geely Automobile unveiled a prototype of the EX5 with a self-developed driving unit that allows for independent four-wheel steering. The technology is mind-boggling, but it's not without its challenges. One potential drawback is the increased wheel arches at the rear axle, which might compromise the interior space. However, the benefits of this innovative system are hard to ignore.
The new driving unit, controlled by a special glove (or soon, a smartphone or smartwatch), offers precise control and maneuverability. It enables the EX5 to perform omnidirectional driving, a feature that could revolutionize parking and tight-space navigation. And this is the part most people miss: the EX5's crab driving mode! With all four wheels turning independently, the car can move sideways, ensuring stability on slippery roads and in strong winds.
But when will this technology hit the market? Geely officials have yet to disclose a timeline for mass production. In the meantime, we can only speculate about the potential impact of this groundbreaking innovation.
The Geely EX5 is more than just a car; it's a symbol of the company's ambitious overseas strategy. With its GEA modular architecture, impressive dimensions, and powerful electric motor, it's a force to be reckoned with. And did you know that the EX5 is also manufactured by Proton in Malaysia as the Proton eMas 7?
So, what do you think? Is the Geely EX5's 90-degree steering a game-changer or a gimmick? Share your thoughts in the comments and let's spark a discussion!
