Geely Auto has become the latest Chinese brand to use the Motability sales channel.
Motability wants to expand the range of affordable, diverse vehicle options available to disabled drivers in 2026.
Since 2024, the Motability Scheme has welcomed six new major brands: Omoda, Polestar, Jaecoo, Chery, Leapmotor and, now, Geely.
Motability has been in a state of flux. In November it announced it announced an overhaul of the vehicles leased to its customers with the axing of premium brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
It said from 2035, half of all vehicles leased through the Scheme every year will be British built.
There is now an expanded range of vehicles available, ensuring that the Motability Scheme’s disabled customers have access to a greater variety of options that suit their individual lifestyles and budgets.
The Motability Scheme harnesses competition in the market to provide good value vehicle leases for disabled people in receipt of eligible disability allowances from government. Motability Operations works with manufacturers on the pricing of vehicle leases, factoring in other lease costs such as insurance, and a new price list is published every three months.
With the transition to electric vehicles there are an increasing range of vehicles in the market, and as we enter 2026 the range of choice for Motability Scheme customers remains strong.
Damian Oton, chief commercial officer at Motability Operations, said: “We are delighted to welcome Geely to the Motability Scheme.
“Our customers have an increasingly wide range of manufacturers to choose from, and the addition of the EX5 and Starray significantly widens our offering of practical, spacious vehicles.
“This builds on years of work to welcome other manufacturers to the Scheme, providing Motability Scheme customers with a range of car choice focused on reliability and affordability.”
