Standard features per $10,000: not ranked, too few features are known for both cars. Price per kW: not ranked, the prices are on different bases. These ratios are not part of the CarSorted Score.
The Geely EX2 currently qualifies for the electric-vehicle FBT exemption, which applies to novated leases. The Mercedes-Benz GLB does not: no price recorded, so eligibility cannot be assessed.
On-road costs (stamp duty, registration, CTP and dealer delivery) depend on your state and the dealer; ask for a written drive-away price before you sign.

Safety Rundown
ANCAP's published record does not give the Mercedes-Benz GLB a rating. With no pair of ratings to compare, the active-safety features in the spec table above are the fairer comparison.

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.

- Km added in 10 hours: the charger rate, capped by the car's own onboard charger, over its own rated energy use. A car without an onboard charger or energy figure is No data, never an assumed rate.
- 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.

From the manufacturer's own equipment list for this car. A Type 2 cable is what an untethered public AC post needs; a portable charger plugs into a household socket.
Feature Showdown
Both come with modern infotainment systems. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.
The Geely EX2 stands out with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and V2L: features our data doesn't list for the Mercedes-Benz GLB. The Mercedes-Benz GLB counters with Apple CarPlay, head-up display, wireless charging, panoramic roof, heated front seats, power tailgate and ambient lighting. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Interior trim differs: the Geely EX2 gets premium leather-like upholstery while the Mercedes-Benz GLB offers black artico man-made leather.
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 Mercedes-Benz GLB lines up making 120kW, paired to a 8g-edct dual clutch transmission, 8-speed automatic driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 8.7 seconds.
The Mercedes-Benz GLB has the clear power advantage at 120kW vs 60kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Mercedes-Benz GLB is 5.5s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Geely EX2 turns in a 9.9 m circle, kerb to kerb; the Mercedes-Benz GLB's turning circle is not on our record.

Cost to own

Warranty: 7 years / unlimited km (Geely EX2) and 5 years / unlimited km (Mercedes-Benz GLB).
- No break-even: the prices are on different bases (Geely EX2: RRP; Mercedes-Benz GLB: drive-away (VIC)).

Where each one leads
The Geely EX2: the longer warranty (7 years against 5).

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.
