Geely Ex2 vs Peugeot Boxer

What's the difference?

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.

Peugeot Australia offers variants across the small, medium and large commercial van segments. Its largest model, the manual-only Boxer 160 which in 2020 features improved safety and warranty, competes in the LD (light duty) 3501-8000kg GVM class.

We recently put it to the test during a busy working week, to find out if it can land a few punches on its opponents in Australia’s heavy commercial vehicle division.
