Geely Auto Australia has confirmed it will bring the EX2 electric vehicle to local showrooms in the second half of 2026, following the small hatchback’s record-breaking performance in China where it became the country’s best-selling car across all segments.
The EX2 achieved sales of 465,775 units in China during 2025, making it not only the top-selling electric vehicle but the most popular car overall, surpassing both petrol and hybrid models in the world’s largest automotive market.
The electric hatchback completed what Geely describes as a significant transition from market newcomer to industry leader in just 14 months since launch. Monthly sales have exceeded 40,000 units for seven consecutive months, with September surpassing the 50,000-unit mark.
The success in China positions the EX2 as a key addition to Geely’s Australian lineup, where it will serve as the entry point into the brand’s range alongside the existing EX5 electric SUV and Starray EM-i super hybrid.
Australian market positioning
Geely Auto Australia announced the local launch plans in December 2025, though specific details on pricing, colours and standard specifications will be released closer to the vehicle’s on-sale date later this year.
The EX2 is built on Geely’s Global Intelligent Electric Architecture platform, the same high-tech foundation that underpins the Australian-market EX5 and Starray EM-i models.
As a rear-wheel drive five-door hatchback, the EX2 measures 4135mm in length, 1805mm in width and 1580mm in height. Its 2650mm wheelbase sits just 100mm shorter than the current EX5 SUV, allowing space for more than 30 functional storage compartments throughout the cabin.
The model’s arrival will provide Australian consumers with greater choice in the electric vehicle segment, particularly at the more accessible end of the market where the EX2 is expected to compete.
Geely Auto Group reported cumulative sales of 3,024,567 units globally in 2025, exceeding its full-year target with year-on-year growth of 39 per cent. New energy vehicle sales reached 1,687,767 units, representing a 90 per cent increase compared to 2024.
