Motability Scheme expands choice and accessibility as Geely joins manufacturer line-up: Car Geely Starray Model

Geely Auto has joined the Motability Scheme, becoming the sixth major brand to partner with the organisation since 2024 and further expanding the range of affordable, diverse vehicle options available to disabled drivers in 2026.

Geely Auto joins the Motability Scheme today (Tuesday 10 February), increasing the vehicle options available to disabled people so that they can continue to be connected to freedom and independence.  

Since 2024, the Motability Scheme has welcomed six new major brands: Omoda, Polestar, Jaecoo, Chery, Leapmotor, and Geely. 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.”
