Introducing the all-new Geely EX2
Thanks to its overwhelming popularity in its homeland of China, the Geely EX2 is now available in the UK, joining the rest of the growing Geely Auto group, which delivers value while still offering exceptional space and the latest tech.
The Geely EX2 is a fully electric supermini, the manufacturer's smallest offering, sitting below the similarly styled, family-sized Geely EX5 SUV in the line-up. Described as a hatchback, it offers distinguished looks with smooth lines, a tall profile, and a roomy interior.
Designed for city life, its smaller footprint works well in towns and cities and is easy to manoeuvre along the UK's tighter streets. But don't let that fool you; inside the EX2 is spacious and comfortable, with a good-sized boot, meaning supermini size doesn't have to compromise interior space or practicality.
Design and Practicality
With similar design DNA to its larger sibling, the EX2 has familiar smooth lines and flows throughout its hatchback silhouette. Its long, tall proportions fit the supermini size and make a strong first impression, while touches such as the adaptive feather-design LED headlights and semi-concealed door handles give it a modern, fresh look.
Inside, the supermini surprises with a modern-looking, roomy cabin and 36 storage solutions dotted about, including a slide-out 10-litre drawer in the glove box. Clad in soft-touch faux leather, it offers plenty of space up front, while the rear seats three tall adults, and the flat-floor design further enhances comfort with unrestricted legroom.
The boot is a generous 375 litres, expanding to 1,320 litres with the seats folded for larger gear. Furthermore, an additional 70-litre front boot for charging cables and smaller items adds practicality and everyday versatility to this compact supermini footprint.
Technology and Safety
A large 14.6-inch touchscreen sits centrally, with all the EX2 model's features easy to access, and it includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. It also has an 8.8-inch driver's display and a few USB sockets located in the front and back. Over-the-air updates download automatically, ensuring the EX2 stays up to date with the latest software and features throughout its lifetime.
Other standard features include automatic air conditioning and a rear-view camera, while higher trims add heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, wireless charging, and a 360-degree panoramic view for easier parking.
For complete peace of mind, the Geely EX2 comes with seven airbags and a large suite of advanced driver assist systems (ADAS), including lane departure warning, lane change assist, and automatic emergency braking. Additionally, the EX2 has a top-level five-star NCAP Euro safety rating, adding reassurance for all occupants on the road.
Powertrains and Performance
For city driving, the Geely EX2 offers two motor-and-battery combinations. The entry-level trim offers the smaller 81bhp motor and 35kWh battery, while mid- and higher-level trims come with a more powerful 114bhp motor and 47kWh battery.
Like the bigger EX5, the Geely EX2 also features Geely's next-generation Short Blade battery technology, which is developed for strong cold-weather performance and a longer lifespan. The smaller 35kWh battery delivers up to 156 miles of WLTP range, while the larger 47kWh battery delivers a stronger 214 miles of WLTP range.
Out on the road, the EX2 delivers smooth acceleration and a quiet drive, with little wind noise at speed. The suspension also handles the regular bumps on UK roads well, allowing it to glide effortlessly around the city with a tight turning circle of under 10 metres. It also offers Comfort, Sport, Eco and Snow driving modes for better control in different conditions.
Charging
The Geely EX2 offers a range of charging options, giving you the flexibility to choose what best suits each day's driving needs, whether that's overnight charging at home or a quick top-up during a longer journey.
For those on the move, rapid charging from 10 to 80 percent takes around 35 minutes for both battery sizes, while standard 7kW homebox charging takes around eight hours, giving you a fully charged EX2 ready for the morning commute.
And every EX2 trim includes vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability. This lets you use the EX2's battery to power anything from electric camping equipment to a laptop when you need a top-up, thanks to the optional adapter that attaches to the charging socket.
