The Geely EX2, or the Geely Xingyuan in China () is a battery electric subcompact hatchback manufactured by Geely Auto. It was introduced in September 2024, occupying the A0-class or equivalent to global B-segment.
In China, the Xingyuan is badged with a "Geome" logo from the automaker's Geely Geometry brand, but it is branded as "Geely" and marketed through Geely Galaxy's Star Network dealerships. Outside China, the model is marketed as the Geely EX2, the Geely E2 (European Union, South Africa), and the Proton eMas 5 (Malaysia).
In 2025, the Xingyuan was the best-selling car of any kind in China.
History The Geely Xingyuan was unveiled in early September 2024, with sales starting in late September. The model targets young, first-time car buyers, and has been pitted against the BYD Seagull and BYD Dolphin. In China, Geely collaborated with Häagen-Dazs in 2024 to promote the model. Geely will provide Häagen-Dazs ice cream to people who will test drive the Xingyuan.
In China, starting from January 2025, the EX2 (called "Xingyuan" in China) outsold every other passenger car for 18 consecutive months to become the bestselling car of 2025, also overtaking the Tesla Model Y to become the bestselling battery electric vehicle in China.
In summer 2026, Geely took over part of Ford’s Spanish Almussafes car plant in a joint venture to build the Geely EX2 in Valencia, with the first cars expected to be produced in 2028. By producing the car within the European Union, Geely will be able to sidestep the tariffs set by the European Union to counter cheap imports of Chinese electric vehicles.
