Charging and range
The rated figures side by side: electric range and fuel use with the battery depleted for a plug-in hybrid or range extender, the km each battery-electric car adds overnight on its own onboard charger, and the DC time in the window each document prints.

- DC times are printed only in the window the document gives (0-80% or 10-80%). Different windows are not one measure, so nobody leads across them.
How long each takes to charge, from a household power point to a DC fast charger, estimated from battery size and the car's own maximum charge rates.

Feature Showdown
The BMW X2 features a 10.7-inch touchscreen paired with a 10.3-inch digital dash, while the Geely EX2 gets a 14.6-inch display and 8.8-inch instruments. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.
The BMW X2 stands out with head-up display, wireless charging, heated front seats and power tailgate: features our data doesn't list for the Geely EX2. The Geely EX2 counters with V2L. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Interior trim differs: the BMW X2 gets veganza (synthetic) upholstery while the Geely EX2 offers premium leather-like.
Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The BMW X2 uses a Petrol producing 125kW and 280Nm of torque, sent through a 7-speed automatic (steptronic with gearshift paddles) to a FWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 8.3 seconds.
The Geely EX2 responds with a Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Motor making 60kW and 150Nm, paired to its gearbox driving the rear wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 14.2 seconds.
The BMW X2 has the clear power advantage at 125kW vs 60kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the BMW X2 is 5.9s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The BMW X2 measures 4,554mm long on a 2,692mm wheelbase, 419mm longer than the Geely EX2 at 4,135mm (2,645mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the BMW X2 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 515L in the BMW X2 and 375L in the Geely EX2, giving the BMW X2 a 140L advantage.
The Geely EX2 turns in a 9.9 m circle, kerb to kerb; the BMW X2's turning circle is not on our record.

Cost to own
We do not hold a like-for-like fuel or energy figure for both cars, so we do not cost them against each other.
The weekly and 5-year figures in the price section above add repayments, rego, servicing and tyres to this; use our Fuel Cost Calculator for your own driving.
Warranty: 5 years / unlimited km (BMW X2) and 7 years / unlimited km (Geely EX2). Prepaid service plan, paid once upfront and not capped-price servicing: 5 years, $2,495 upfront (BMW X2), no data (Geely EX2).
- No break-even: no energy cost is held for the BMW X2.
Energy only. Excludes servicing, rego, insurance, finance interest and resale. Prices are compared only on one basis.
Where each one leads
The BMW X2: more power (125kW against 60kW) and the bigger boot with the seats up (515L against 375L).
The Geely EX2: the lower starting price ($26,490 against $72,800) and the longer warranty (7 years against 5).
The Verdict
Geely EX2 scores higher, 68 vs 60
The Geely EX2 scores 68 to the BMW X2's 60 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 3 of the 6 spec rows that separate them, at the lower price. The biggest gaps: performance (BMW X2 ahead by 30 points), value (Geely EX2 ahead by 27 points), safety (Geely EX2 ahead by 25 points). Boot space with the seats up: 515L in the BMW X2, 375L in the Geely EX2. Warranty: 5 years on the BMW X2, 7 on the Geely EX2.

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
