Geely has outlined initial details of its upcoming EX2 electric hatchback for Australia, alongside a limited-time pre-order incentive tied to its debut at the Melbourne Motor Show.
The offer, originally scheduled for the duration of the show, has now been extended to 30 April 2026, giving early buyers additional time to secure launch benefits.
Limited-time pre-order offer extended
Customers who place a pre-order for the EX2 between 10 April and 30 April 2026, either online or through dealerships, will receive:
- A complimentary EV home charger
- Premium paint at no extra cost
- No deposit required at the time of booking
To qualify, vehicles must be delivered before 30 September 2026. While such incentives are not uncommon for new EV launches, the inclusion of both hardware and cosmetic upgrades suggests Geely is aiming to accelerate early adoption in a competitive entry-level EV segment.
Colours and design details confirmed
Geely has confirmed a six-colour palette for the EX2, comprising:
- Moon White (standard)
- Aurora Green
- Comet Grey
- Nebula Beige
- Jupiter Pink
- Star Silver
This mix indicates a focus on personalisation, particularly with brighter shades like Jupiter Pink, which remain relatively uncommon in the segment.
Dimensions and platform
The Geely EX2 sits within the compact hatchback category, with the following dimensions:
- Length: 4135mm
- Width: 1805mm
- Height: 1570mm
- Wheelbase: 2650mm
It is underpinned by Geely’s GEA (Global Intelligent New Energy Architecture), shared with other models in the brand’s expanding electrified lineup. The platform is designed to maximise interior space, reflected in claims of up to 30 storage compartments throughout the cabin.
Powertrain and mechanical layout
The Geely EX2 adopts a rear-wheel-drive configuration, with a single electric motor mounted at the rear axle. This setup remains relatively rare among affordable EV hatchbacks, where front-wheel-drive layouts dominate.
Confirmed mechanical highlights include:
- Multi-link independent rear suspension
- Liquid-cooled battery pack
- Additional front storage (frunk)
However, key specifications such as power output, torque figures and battery capacity have not yet been disclosed. These details are expected closer to the model’s Australian launch in Q3 2026.
Market positioning
Geely claims the EX2 was the best-selling car in China last year, although it remains to be seen how that success translates to the Australian market. Locally, the model will join a growing Geely lineup that includes the EX5 electric SUV and the Starray EM-i plug-in hybrid.
With pricing still unconfirmed, the EX2’s competitiveness will largely depend on where it lands relative to established affordable EV rivals. The early inclusion of ownership incentives may indicate an aggressive pricing strategy, but that remains speculative until final figures are released.
What’s next
Further details, including full specifications and pricing, are expected closer to the Geely EX2’s showroom arrival later in 2026. Until then, the Melbourne Motor Show appearance serves as an initial gauge of consumer interest in Geely’s newest EV offering.
