Geely last month announced that the first batch of its low-cost and best-selling EX2 electric hatchbacks had arrived in Australia, with prices starting at $26,490 before on-road costs.
Now, on the company’s offer page, multiple incentives are being offered to sweeten the deal in August, including a free charger, complimentary premium paint and an ultra-low finance comparison rate of just 0.68%.
The free charger is a 7 kW home charger while the premium paint offer is for paints that currently fall under the $600 option. These include Star Silver, Comet Grey, Nebula Beige, Aurora Green and Nova Pink.
This would make the EX2 quite a competitive small car in the market, already pricing out popular hybrid models from legacy car makers, such as the Toyota Corolla Hybrid which starts at over $32,000 before on-roads.
The EX2 has been Geely’s and China’s best-selling car in its domestic market, after selling over 800,000 of this model in China to date.
Last month, the company revealed that it will be offered in two variants, Complete and Inspire, in Australia. These will be competing against the likes of the MG4 Urban, BYD Dolphin and the GAC Aion UT.
Also in July, the first batch of Geely EX2s started to arrive at local dealerships, according to the update from the brand, which shared multiple pictures of the cars being loaded and secured onto the roll-on-roll-off (RORO) ship.
The entry-level EX2 Complete is powered by a rear-mounted electric motor that produces 60 kW of peak power and up to 150 Nm of torque.
This variant comes with a smaller 35 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery pack, putting out a driving range of up to 252 km on the WLTP cycle.
The top-spec Inspire variant boosts those figures by having an upgraded motor that puts out 85 kW of power. It also arrives locally with a larger 47 kWh LFP battery with an improved range of up to 345 km, plenty for a city runabout.
DC charging speeds of 60 kW for the Complete and 80 kW for the Inspire are on offer, while AC charging is capped to 6 kW.
Given the smaller battery sizes on both variants, the AC charging is more than enough for most drives and with improved public charging infrastructure across many of the cities in recent years, it wouldn’t stop too many people from considering this model.
