Geely has launched a substantial update for its model Xingyuan (EX2), China’s best-selling car in 2025, seeking to maintain its competitiveness in the booming compact electric vehicle market. Improvements include new driving assistance features, increased range and a temporarily reduced starting price that positions it even more aggressively. The movement aims to respond to the intense competition and rapid technological evolution observed in the Chinese automotive sector.
Este model, which already stood out in the country’s automotive scene, now incorporates technological advances and a higher capacity battery. The Chinese automaker has implemented these changes to ensure that the Xingyuan (EX2) remains attractive to consumers, even as new competitors constantly enter the market. The update, while maintaining the vehicle’s familiar appearance, represents a significant evolution beneath the surface.
Novas driving assistance technologies
The Geely Xingyuan (EX2) now integrates the Geely Afari Smart Driving (G-ASD) system, an artificial intelligence-based driving assistance platform. Anunciado earlier this year at CES, G-ASD is central to Geely’s ambitions toward autonomous driving. Esta implementation on the EX2 includes features such as navigate-on-autopilot and autonomous parking.
Além Additionally, the vehicle incorporates a sentry mode, allowing its cameras to record the surroundings. Este is a notable improvement considering previous EX2 models lacked these features. The update puts the EX2 on par with or ahead of direct competitors such as the BYD Seagull, which offers its God’s Eye system as optional but not standard across all of its configurations. The introduction of G-ASD underlines Geely’s commitment to providing cutting-edge technology to its volume vehicles.
Ampliação for autonomy and faster charging
The new version of the Geely Xingyuan (EX2) features increased autonomy, resulting from the introduction of a new 47 kWh battery. Essa additional battery joins the existing engine options: an 80 horsepower base version with a 30.12 kWh battery and a 114 horsepower version with a 40.16 kWh battery.
With the 47 kWh battery, the EX2 achieves up to 298 miles of autonomy, which is equivalent to approximately 480 kilometers. It’s important to note that these numbers are based on the CLTC standard (Ciclo of Teste of Veículos Leves of China), which tends to be more optimistic than WLTP (Procedimento of Teste Global Harmonizado of Veículos Leves) or EPA (Agência of Proteção Ambiental of Estados Unidos) range estimates. Fast charging capability has also been improved. The vehicle can now be charged from 30% to 80% in just 19 minutes, a considerable improvement over the 30 minutes quoted for the previous model.
- Battery and autonomy Opções (CLTC):
* 30.12 kWh: Versão base 80 horsepower.
* 40.16 kWh: 114 horsepower Versão.
* 47 kWh: Autonomia up to 298 miles (approximately 480 km).
Redução price and fierce competition
Geely has implemented a price cut, at least temporarily, for the new Xingyuan (EX2). The entry model now starts at $9,133 at China, representing a decrease from the previous model year’s $9,700. A fully equipped version of the EX2, including its largest battery, will cost around $14,000. Essa aggressive pricing strategy reflects the dynamics of the Chinese market, where the speed of development and price war are intense.
Sales charts indicate that the EX2 recorded a drop of approximately 3% compared to the previous year, despite being the best-selling car. Essa’s slight decline in sales, coupled with the arrival of a new crop of similarly priced compact electric vehicles since the launch of the EX2, puts pressure on Geely to constantly innovate. Para maintains its leadership in the best-selling EV segment, the company needs to ensure that the model remains updated and attractive to the consumer.
Integração systems and design maintained
Inside, the Geely Xingyuan (EX2) now features Geely’s Flyme Auto 2.0 system. Essa update includes integration with Apple CarPlay, a feature that adds significant value for many users who rely on their mobile devices for navigation and entertainment. Fora these software updates and some minor aesthetic modifications, such as a new wheel design and the addition of two new colors to the palette, the car maintains its overall appearance.
The exterior design remains largely the same as the model already circulating on Chinese streets. Essa approach allows Geely to focus on internal and performance improvements without the need for large investments in restyling. Espera The updated version of Xingyuan (EX2) is expected to begin shipping to international markets in the near future, taking its innovations beyond Chinese borders.
