The Geely Xingyuan is a subcompact electric hatchback built for high-volume, budget-focused buyers. It measures 4,135 mm long with a 2,650 mm wheelbase, placing it in the B-segment alongside other small city EVs. Geely launched it in China in September 2024, and by 2025 it had become one of the country’s best-selling cars of any type.
Two powertrains are offered, both driving the rear wheels. The entry version pairs a 78 hp motor with a 30 kWh CATL lithium-iron-phosphate battery for 310 km of CLTC range and a 125 km/h top speed. The higher version steps up to 114 hp and a 41 kWh battery, lifting CLTC range to 410 km and top speed to 135 km/h. Both use an integrated 11-in-1 electric drive unit to keep cost and packaging tight.
Inside, the Xingyuan centres on a 14.6-inch touchscreen running Geely’s Flyme Auto operating system, with six airbags and an L2 driver-assistance suite included. The cabin prioritises usable space over outright width, a typical trade-off for the class.
Pricing starts from ¥59,800, which is what underpins its sales volume. The car is also exported under the Geely EX2 badge, broadening its reach beyond the domestic market. In the UK, the EX2 lineup opens with the Pro at GBP 20,990, using a smaller 35 kWh battery and 82 hp motor for up to 249 km WLTP range, while the Max and Ultra step up to a 47 kWh battery, 114 hp and 344 km WLTP range, priced from GBP 23,490 and GBP 25,490 respectively.
