The Geely EX2 small hatchback officially arrived in 2024 as a purpose-built electric city car. It quickly became a dominant force in its home market, finishing 2025 as the top-selling vehicle in China. Built on the Global Intelligent New Energy Architecture, the model represents a shift toward more affordable and efficient battery electric transport for urban buyers.
The vehicle received its first significant technical updates in 2025 to improve battery cooling and driving range for international markets. These changes helped the hatchback transition from a domestic success to a global contender. It features a rear-wheel-drive layout and a compact footprint designed to rival established small cars like the BYD Dolphin and MG4.
Overseas markets know the Geely EX2 by several different names depending on the region. In China, it is sold as the Geely Xingyuan or Star Wish. Malaysian buyers recognise it as the Proton eMas 5, while it is badged as the Geely E2 in South Africa.

The Geely EX2 comes in Moon White as standard, though five optional colours are available including Star Silver, Comet Grey, Nebula Beige, Aurora Green and Nova Pink.
As standard, the Geely EX2 comes with a 14.2-inch multimedia touchscreen and an 8.8-inch driver display, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, digital radio, USB-A and USB-C ports, a four-speaker sound system, Geely connected services, keyless entry and start and LED interior lighting.
Stepping up from the Complete to the Inspire brings the inclusion of coloured ambient interior lighting, wireless phone charging, a power tailgate, heated front seats and steering wheel, decorative metallic trim, a contrast black roof and rain-sensing wipers.
The interior of the Geely EX2 follows a very similar formula to many electric cars, but prioritises storage space in places like under the centre console and in the sizeable glove box.
Synthetic leather upholstery and sleek screens give the EX2 a more upmarket feel than its price tag suggests, with the general minimalism of the interior reflecting the tech focus of EVs like the EX2.
Both variants of the Geely EX2 are single-motor rear-wheel drive EVs, with the power outputs 60kW in the base Complete or 80kW in the top-spec Inspire. Both variants have 150Nm torque outputs.

The Geely EX2 has 375L of space in the boot and a huge 75L up front under the bonnet, giving it an impressive combined 450L of storage space.
The Geely EX2’s modest power outputs in both variants mean it is not a fast car by any measure.
The base Complete takes 14.2 seconds to reach 100km/h according to Geely’s claims while the Inspire takes 11.5 seconds.
Both are limited to a top speed of 130km/h.
Geely claims the EX2 has a 345km WLTP-rated range in top-spec Inspire, or just 252km in the Complete.
In the Complete, this is due to a small 35kWh battery and 15.9kWh/100km energy consumption, while the Inspire has a larger 47kWh battery and 15.5kWh/100km rating.
DC charging tops out at 80kW in the Inspire, and 60kW in the Complete. AC charging is 6.0kW in both.
