2026 Geely EX2 Electric Hatchback: Features, Pricing, and Competitors

The Geely EX2 has made a significant entrance into the Australian market after being the top-selling passenger car in China in 2025. This electric hatchback joins Geely's lineup alongside the mid-size Geely Starray EM-i plug-in hybrid and EX5 electric SUVs. Notably, this marks Geely's first hatchback offering in Australia, where it utilizes a similar platform as its larger siblings, featuring a five-door, five-seat configuration.

Geely is not a newcomer to the global automotive stage, having ownership stakes in well-known brands such as Volvo, Lotus, Polestar, and Zeekr. Geely returned to Australia in 2025 under its factory-backed operation, following a previous presence from 2011 to 2014 through a private importer. Currently, it operates around 43 dealerships across Australia, underscoring its commitment to the local market.

Two grades of the EX2 will be available upon launch: the entry-level EX2 Complete and the more adept EX2 Inspire. The Complete model boasts a claimed range of up to 252 km on a single charge, while the Inspire offers improved performance with a longer range of 345 km. While hatchbacks have waned in popularity in Australia, the timing of the EX2's debut is advantageous, coinciding with a notable surge in electric vehicle (EV) sales. The market saw nearly one in four new vehicle sales being electric in June.
