Safety Rundown
ANCAP lists the Geely EX2 at 5 stars (2026) and the Geely EX5 at 5 stars (2025). ANCAP tested these in different years (2026 vs 2025). 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 8 of 10 key ADAS systems on the Geely EX5, 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 Geely EX2 and 7 in the Geely EX5.

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.

Feature Showdown
The Geely EX2 features a 14.6-inch touchscreen paired with a 8.8-inch digital dash, while the Geely EX5 gets a 15.4-inch display and 10.2-inch instruments. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.
The Geely EX5 counters with wireless charging and heated front seats. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Geely EX2 uses a Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Motor producing 60kW and 150Nm of torque, sent through its transmission to a RWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 14.2 seconds.
The Geely EX5 counters with its electric setup making 160kW and 320Nm, paired to its gearbox driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 7.4 seconds.
The Geely EX5 has the clear power advantage at 160kW vs 60kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Geely EX5 is 6.8s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Battery: 35.4kWh (Geely EX2) vs 68.4kWh (Geely EX5), giving WLTP ranges of 252km and 475km. DC fast charging peaks at 60kW (Geely EX2) vs 100kW (Geely EX5).
Space & Comfort
The Geely EX2 measures 4,135mm long on a 2,645mm wheelbase, 480mm shorter than the Geely EX5 at 4,615mm (2,750mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Geely EX5 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 375L in the Geely EX2 and 302L in the Geely EX5, giving the Geely EX2 a 73L 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 0.9 m tighter, 9.9 m against 10.8 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.

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: 7 years / unlimited km (Geely EX2) and 7 years / unlimited km (Geely EX5).
- No break-even: the Geely EX2 costs less to buy and less in energy.
Energy only. Excludes servicing, rego, insurance, finance interest and resale. Prices are compared only on one basis.
Where each one leads
The Geely EX2: the lower starting price ($26,490 against $41,990) and the bigger boot with the seats up (375L against 302L).
The Geely EX5: more power (160kW against 60kW).
The Verdict
Geely EX5 scores higher, 72 vs 68
The Geely EX5 scores 72 to the Geely EX2's 68 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 5 of the 7 spec rows that separate them. The biggest gaps: performance (Geely EX5 ahead by 35 points), safety (Geely EX2 ahead by 9 points). Boot space with the seats up: 375L in the Geely EX2, 302L in the Geely EX5.

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.
