Citroen C4 vs Geely Ex2

What's the difference?

Citroen is a brand in a state of flux as it, once again, finds itself fighting to find a distinct identity from its Peugeot sister brand under its new Stellantis parent company.

It’s also had a shocker of a year in Australia, racking up just over 100 sales in 2021, but the brand is promising new beginnings, and a new crossover-y identity as it heads into 2022.

Leading the charge is the new-generation C4, which has morphed from a funky hatchback to a funkier SUV-like shape that it hopes will set it apart from related cars like the Peugeot 2008.

Other Citroens are set to follow in its footsteps in the immediate future, so is the Gallic marque onto something? We took the new C4 for a week to find out.

The small car segment is getting busy. Electric cars are reviving a part of the new car market we thought of as history.

The 2026 Geely EX2 hopes to come in and take the lead in that exact segment. In fact, it sold in enough numbers in China last year that it alone would make up close to half of Australia’s total annual new car sales.

A very aggressive price, plenty of features and cute styling are all weapons in its fight against the likes of the BYD Atto 1, GAC Aion UT or MG4.
