The Geely EX2, or the Geely Xingyuan (Chinese: 吉利星愿; lit. 'wish upon a star'[7][8]) is a battery electric subcompact hatchback manufactured by Geely Auto. It was introduced in September 2024, occupying the A0-class or equivalent to global B-segment.
In China, the Xingyuan is badged with a "Geome" logo from the automaker's Geely Geometry brand, but it is branded as "Geely" and marketed through Geely Galaxy's Star Network dealerships. Outside China, the model is marketed as the Geely EX2, the Proton eMas 5 (Malaysia) and the Geely E2 (South Africa).[9]
In 2025, the Xingyuan was the best-selling car of any kind in China.[10]
History
[edit]The Geely Xingyuan was unveiled in early September 2024, with sales starting in late September. The model targets young, first-time car buyers, and has been pitted against the BYD Seagull and BYD Dolphin.[7]
In China, Geely collaborated with Häagen-Dazs to promote the model. Geely will provide Häagen-Dazs ice cream to people who will test drive the Xingyuan.[11]
2026 update
[edit]The EX2 was updated on 28 May 2026 in China with a new larger battery option, new tech options, and several other minor changes.[12][13][14]
A new 47.14 kWh LFP battery option was introduced, with a CLTC range of 480 km (298 mi) and is capable of recharging from 30–80% in 19 minutes.[12][13][14]
The exterior receives minimal changes; all models now come equipped with LED headlights with optional LED daytime running lights, and models equipped with the new largest battery option gain active grille shutters and optional rain-sensing wipers. The top configuration is now equipped with the Geely Qianli Haohan H3 ADAS system capable of semiautonomous highway driving, which uses a sensor suite consisting of 3 mmWave radars along with 11 cameras, and thus feature semi-autonomous driving indicator lights on the side mirrors.[12][15]
All variants other than the base variant now use the 14.6-inch central infotainment screen rather than the 10.1-inch display, and the highest variants are powered by Geely's Longying No.1 7nm SoC. Heated seats are available on lower variants, and the top variant receives a ventilated function, heated steering wheel, a column shifter, automatic climate control, and ambient lighting. The suspension has been retuned for better ride quality.[12][15]
Specifications
[edit]The model is also equipped with a 14.6-inch infotainment screen with the Flyme Auto car operating system. In addition, the Xingyuan is also equipped with 6 airbags, and a L2 intelligent assisted driving system.[16]
