Safety Rundown
ANCAP lists the GAC Aion V at 5 stars (2025) and the Geely EX2 at 5 stars (2026). ANCAP tested these in different years (2025 vs 2026). Its criteria get stricter about every three years, so the stars are not like for like.
Where the two diverge is in active safety technology. We can confirm 9 of 10 key ADAS systems on the GAC Aion V, against 7 on the Geely EX2.
Both include the essentials: autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, a reversing camera. Airbag count is 7 in the GAC Aion V and 7 in the Geely EX2.

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.

Feature Showdown
The GAC Aion V features a 14.6-inch touchscreen paired with a 8.9-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 GAC Aion V stands out with Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, panoramic roof, heated front seats, ventilated seats and power tailgate: features our data doesn't list for the Geely EX2. The Geely EX2 counters with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Interior trim differs: the GAC Aion V gets pvc upholstery while the Geely EX2 offers premium leather-like.
Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The GAC Aion V uses a Electric producing 150kW and 210Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a FWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 9 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 GAC Aion V has the clear power advantage at 150kW vs 60kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the GAC Aion V is 5.2s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Battery: 75.3kWh (GAC Aion V) vs 35.4kWh (Geely EX2), giving WLTP ranges of 510km and 252km. DC fast charging peaks at 180kW (GAC Aion V) vs 60kW (Geely EX2).
Space & Comfort
The GAC Aion V measures 4,605mm long on a 2,775mm wheelbase, 470mm longer than the Geely EX2 at 4,135mm (2,645mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the GAC Aion V generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 427L in the GAC Aion V and 375L in the Geely EX2, giving the GAC Aion V a 52L advantage.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Geely EX2's turning circle is 1.3 m tighter, 9.9 m against 11.2 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.

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.
