The Geely EX2 The electric vehicle (EV), set to launch in Australia in the second half of this year, was officially China’s best-selling new vehicle in 2025. In the first full calendar year, 465,775 customer deliveries were recorded and sold on the domestic market.
The compact rear-wheel drive electric hatch is similar in size to the BYD Dolphin and MG 4 and has been confirmed for launch in Australia between July and December 2026.
The EX2 will join the electric EX5 and Starray EM-I plug-in hybrid midsize SUVs already offered here by Geely, with all three models based on the same Global Intelligent Electric Architecture (GEA). It will be the first of six new Geely models planned for Australia by 2028.
The EX2 topped the sales charts in a record year in China (where it is sold as Xingyuan, meaning “star wish”), the world’s largest automotive market with 34.4 million new car sales in 2025 – more than double the next largest market, the United States, with around 16.3 million sales last year.

By comparison, the Ford Ranger topped the Australian sales charts in 2025 with 56,555 deliveries, with the total of around 1.2 million vehicles in the local market (also a record) dwarfed by China’s result.
Underscoring the size of the Chinese market and the success of the EX2, the small electric hatch recorded more than 50,000 sales in September alone and achieved more than 40,000 deliveries for seven months in a row, according to Geely.
Looking at electric car sales in Australia last year alone, the Tesla Model Y took the top spot with 22,239 deliveries – that’s barely more than two weeks’ worth of EX2 sales in China.
The EX2 accounted for around 15 percent of Geely’s total global sales of 3.3 million vehicles in 2025, enough to place the brand in the global top 10, led by Toyota with 11.3 million sales.
Australian pricing, model range and specification details for the EX2 have yet to be announced, but Geely is expected to position it in the $20,000-$30,000 price range, potentially undercutting the starting price of the BYD Dolphin ($29,990 plus on-road costs) but not that of the MG 4 ($37,990 on-roads).
In China, the Geely hatch is priced at ¥68,800 (AUD$14,045), which matches the MG 4’s domestic starting price and undercuts the Dolphin’s local starting price of ¥99,800 (AUD$20,373).
China’s entry-level EX2 features a 58kW/310Nm electric powertrain paired with a 30.12kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, offering a range of 310km (CLTC). Higher trim levels feature a larger 40.16 kWh battery with a range of 410 km (CLTC) and a more powerful 85 kW/150 Nm electric motor.
Standard equipment in China includes 16-inch wheels, an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster, imitation leather seat covers and a 10.1-inch multimedia touchscreen – even 14.6 inches in higher trim levels – as well as a high-resolution reversing camera and voice control.
Unusually, all versions are rear-wheel drive and feature a multi-link rear suspension and a battery protection shield.
Geely sold 5010 vehicles in Australia in 2025 and the brand topped sales after launching the EX5 in March and the Starray EM-I in December Skoda (4808), Renault (4569), KGM (4116), Omoda Jacobo (3721) and Cupra (2830).
