Safety Rundown
ANCAP lists the Geely EX2 at 5 stars (2026) and the Toyota C-HR at 5 stars (2024). ANCAP tested these in different years (2026 vs 2024). 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 7 of 10 key ADAS systems on the Geely EX2, against 5 on the Toyota C-HR.
Both include the essentials: lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, a reversing camera. Airbag count is 7 in the Geely EX2 and 10 in the Toyota C-HR.

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.

Feature Showdown
The Geely EX2 features a 14.6-inch touchscreen paired with a 8.8-inch digital dash, while the Toyota C-HR gets a 12.3-inch display and 7-inch instruments. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.
The Geely EX2 stands out with V2L: features our data doesn't list for the Toyota C-HR. 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 Toyota C-HR offers cloth.
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 Toyota C-HR responds with a Petrol making 103kW and 142Nm, paired to a automatic driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 10.2 seconds.
The Toyota C-HR has the clear power advantage at 103kW vs 60kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Toyota C-HR is 4.0s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Geely EX2 measures 4,135mm long on a 2,645mm wheelbase, 227mm shorter than the Toyota C-HR at 4,362mm (2,640mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Geely EX2 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 375L in the Geely EX2 and 388L in the Toyota C-HR, giving the Toyota C-HR a 13L 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 0.5 m tighter, 9.9 m against 10.4 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.

Warranty: 7 years / unlimited km (Geely EX2) and 5 years / unlimited km (Toyota C-HR).
- 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 $46,940) and the longer warranty (7 years against 5).
The Toyota C-HR: more power (103kW against 60kW) and the bigger boot with the seats up (388L against 375L).
The Verdict
Toyota C-HR scores higher, 80 vs 68
The Toyota C-HR scores 80 to the Geely EX2's 68 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 3 of the 7 spec rows that separate them. The biggest gaps: reliability (Toyota C-HR ahead by 17 points), performance (Toyota C-HR ahead by 10 points). Warranty: 7 years on the Geely EX2, 5 on the Toyota C-HR.

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.
