Geely has refreshed its best-selling small electric car in China, and the update is more substantial than the modest range bump suggests. The Xingyuan, sold outside China as the Geely EX2, now goes up to 10 km farther than before, but the bigger story is the scale of the upgrade: more than 100 changes spanning safety, driving assistance, comfort, and hardware.
That matters because this is not some niche city EV getting a cosmetic tweak. The Xingyuan was China’s most popular car in 2025, with sales above 465,000 units, so Geely is polishing a volume machine while rivals in the segment keep pushing harder on software, cabin tech, and value pricing. In other words, the company cannot afford to let its bestseller age quietly.
Geely EX2 pricing and trims
Sales have started in China with six versions on offer, split across three battery sizes and different equipment levels. Geely is leaning on introductory pricing too, cutting 3,000 yuan from each trim at launch.
- 310km Longing: 64,800 yuan, or 61,800 yuan with the launch discount
- 310km Chengfeng: 71,800 yuan, or 68,800 yuan
- 410km Longing: 71,800 yuan, or 68,800 yuan
- 410km Chengfeng: 78,800 yuan, or 75,800 yuan
- 480km Discovery: 86,800 yuan, or 83,800 yuan
- 480km Discovery+: 94,800 yuan, or 91,800 yuan
Range, batteries and power
All versions use CATL batteries, with capacities of 30.12 kWh, 40.16 kWh, or 47.14 kWh. The claimed range runs from 310 km to 480 km, and Geely says the top figure is 10 km better than the outgoing model.
There is one rear-mounted motor, offered in 79 hp and 116 hp forms, with torque rated at 130 Nm and 150 Nm respectively. That is enough to keep the EX2 firmly in the city-car-to-compact-EV bracket, where efficiency and price usually matter more than raw performance – though Geely is clearly trying to make the car feel less basic than its numbers imply.
Cabin changes and driver tech
Visually, the EX2 looks familiar, but Geely has added new paint colors and a few practical touches. It keeps semi-hidden door handles, gets an anti-pinch power tailgate, and measures 4135 x 1805 x 1570 mm with a 2650 mm wheelbase.
Inside, the car offers 36 storage spaces, a 70-litre front trunk, and a rear cargo area that expands from 375 litres to 1320 litres with the seats folded. The driver gets an 8.8-inch instrument display, a 14.6-inch infotainment screen, heated and ventilated front seats in the base trim, and a column-mounted gear selector. The media system now runs Flyme Auto 2.0 with Apple CarPlay support and deeper smartphone integration.
G-Pilot H3 and the under-the-skin upgrades
The headline software package is G-Pilot H3, which adds NOA navigation, automatic parking in any scenario, remote parking, a 360-degree camera system, and Sentinel Mode for parking security. That puts the EX2 in the same conversation as a growing crop of Chinese EVs that now sell driver-assist features as aggressively as they sell battery capacity.
Geely also says the updated model now has independent suspension on all four wheels and a G-TCS 2.0 all-weather traction system designed to reduce skids and rear-axle slides on slippery roads. For a mainstream EV with a mass-market audience, that is probably the most sensible upgrade in the whole package. Slick software is nice; keeping the back end in line is better.
