Geely Auto Australia has confirmed the all-electric Geely EX2 hatchback will arrive in Australia in the second half of 2026, marking the brand’s entry into the compact city-car segment and its most accessible EV offering to date .
Positioned as Geely’s local entry model, the EX2 expands the brand’s new-energy line-up and is clearly aimed at buyers seeking affordable, practical electric mobility — a segment of growing interest for fleets operating in dense urban environments.
Built on Geely’s global EV platform
The Geely EX2 is underpinned by the brand’s Global Intelligent Electric Architecture (GEA) platform, shared with the Geely EX5 EV and the Starray EM-i Super Hybrid. The use of a common platform highlights Geely’s modular approach, allowing multiple vehicle sizes and body styles while maintaining shared technology and efficiency gains.
For fleet buyers, platform consistency can translate into long-term benefits across servicing, training, and parts commonality as the Geely range grows in Australia.
Compact footprint, smart packaging
Despite its city-friendly dimensions — 4,135 mm long, 1,805 mm wide, 1,580 mm high, with a 2,650 mm wheelbase — the EX2 has been designed to maximise interior usability .
Geely claims more than 30 storage compartments, including a front boot (frunk), reinforcing the vehicle’s suitability for urban driving duties, short trips, and shared-use fleet applications where cabin flexibility matters.
Proven volume seller in China
Known as the Xingyuan (Star Wish) in its home market, the EX2 is already a standout performer globally. It was the bestselling vehicle in China in 2025, recording more than 400,000 sales within 12 months, including 50,000 units in September alone .
That level of volume provides early confidence around scalability, supply maturity, and model longevity — all important considerations for fleet programs.
Where the EX2 fits for fleets
While full Australian specifications, driving range, and pricing are yet to be announced, the positioning of the EX2 is clear. It is designed to:
- Lower the entry cost to EV adoption
- Suit urban, pool, and short-range fleet roles
- Complement larger EVs already in Geely’s local pipeline
For organisations balancing cost pressures with emissions reduction targets, vehicles in this segment are increasingly being assessed as alternatives to small ICE hatchbacks and light SUVs.
Pricing and specifications still to come
Geely Auto Australia has confirmed that local specifications, variant walk-up, range details, and pricing will be released closer to launch .
From a fleet perspective, these details will be critical in determining whole-of-life cost competitiveness, particularly as novated lease buyers and business fleets continue to scrutinise upfront pricing, energy efficiency, and residual assumptions.
Bottom line for fleet buyers:
The Geely EX2 signals a clear intent from Geely to compete in the affordable EV space in Australia. If local pricing aligns with its positioning, the EX2 could become a genuine option for urban fleets and entry-level EV programs when it arrives in 2026.
