    The new Geely EX2 has officially achieved a five-star ANCAP safety rating in Australia, adding another important reason for local drivers to take a closer look at Geely’s compact electric hatch.

    Now on sale in Australia, the Geely EX2 combines all-electric driving, clever interior space and smart technology with the reassurance of a five-star safety result.

    For drivers across the Sutherland Shire and southern Sydney considering making the switch to an electric vehicle, the latest ANCAP result puts safety firmly on the list of reasons to explore the Geely EX2 at Tynan Geely Sutherland.

    What Is the Geely EX2 ANCAP Safety Rating?

    The Geely EX2 has received a five-star ANCAP safety rating for all variants.

    Tested in 2026, the EX2 was assessed under ANCAP’s latest Stages of Safety assessment criteria, which have been designed to keep pace with evolving vehicle technology and the changing safety challenges faced by drivers, passengers and other road users.

    The Geely EX2 recorded the following results:

    • Safe Driving: 79%
    • Crash Avoidance: 72%
    • Crash Protection: 86%
    • Post Crash: 95%

    The rating applies to all Geely EX2 variants built from June 2026 onwards.

    A Small Electric Car With a Big Focus on Safety

    The Geely EX2 may be a compact electric vehicle, but its ANCAP assessment demonstrated a strong focus on some of the fundamentals of vehicle safety.

    One area highlighted during testing was the EX2’s occupant monitoring technology.

    The system can recognise incorrect seatbelt use, including situations where a driver may only be using the lap section of the seatbelt. The vehicle can also adjust its restraint performance according to the stature of front-seat occupants, helping optimise protection for different occupant sizes and seating positions.

    Its driver monitoring system was also recognised for its ability to detect common forms of driver distraction.

    These technologies are increasingly important as ANCAP expands its testing beyond traditional crash performance to consider how vehicles can help drivers avoid incidents in the first place.

    Geely EX2 Scores 86% for Crash Protection

    Crash protection was another strong area for the new EX2, with the electric hatch achieving an 86% score.

    ANCAP assessed the EX2 across a range of frontal and side-impact scenarios, looking at the level of protection provided to occupants of different sizes and statures.

    As well as occupant protection, ANCAP now considers how the structure of a vehicle interacts with other road users during a collision.

    For buyers comparing small electric cars in Australia, independent safety testing provides another valuable way to assess how different models perform beyond features, range and price.

    Crash Avoidance Technology in the Geely EX2

    The EX2 recorded a 72% Crash Avoidance score.

    Its autonomous emergency braking and lane support technologies performed well across the majority of scenarios assessed, including tests involving vehicles, motorcycles and vulnerable road users.

    The EX2’s lane support technology is designed to help reduce the risk of the vehicle leaving its lane or moving into the path of another vehicle.

    This technology complements the broader suite of driver assistance and active safety systems available in the Geely EX2.

    A 95% Post Crash Safety Result

    One of the standout figures from the Geely EX2 ANCAP assessment was its 95% Post Crash score.

    Post-crash safety looks at what happens immediately following a collision and whether a vehicle has features that can help protect occupants and assist emergency services.

    For an electric vehicle, this assessment also considers the management of the vehicle’s high-voltage electrical system.

    During ANCAP testing, the Geely EX2 demonstrated its ability to effectively isolate high-voltage battery power following a collision and manage potential risks associated with battery damage.

    It is an important consideration for drivers researching electric vehicle safety and reflects the growing sophistication of EV safety engineering.

    Tested Under ANCAP's New 2026 Safety Criteria

    The Geely EX2 is among the first vehicles to be assessed under ANCAP’s new Stages of Safety criteria introduced in 2026.

    The updated assessment process places greater emphasis on the different stages of a potential crash, including:

    • helping drivers remain alert and in control
    • avoiding a collision where possible
    • protecting occupants during a collision
    • reducing risks and assisting occupants following a crash

    This means achieving a five-star rating under the new criteria requires strong performance across a much broader range of areas than crash testing alone.

    What Type of Car Is the Geely EX2?

    The Geely EX2 is a compact battery electric vehicle designed for everyday driving.

    ANCAP classifies the EX2 as a Light Car, with the Australian model series identified as E22H.

    The EX2 went on sale in Australia in July 2026 and is designed to offer a practical option for buyers wanting a smaller electric vehicle for commuting, urban driving and everyday use.

    Its compact dimensions are combined with clever use of interior and storage space, modern connectivity and electric performance, making it particularly suited to drivers looking for an EV that is easy to live with around the city.

    Is the Geely EX2 ANCAP Rating for All Variants?

    Yes.

    The five-star Geely EX2 ANCAP safety rating applies to all variants covered by the Australian assessment and built from June 2026 onwards.

    That means buyers can consider the EX2 range knowing the ANCAP rating is not restricted to one particular model grade.

    Another Safety Milestone for Geely in Australia

    The EX2 joins the Geely EX5 and Geely Starray EM-i as part of Geely’s growing Australian model range with published ANCAP safety ratings.

    For a relatively new automotive brand in Australia, the latest EX2 result is another important step in establishing Geely among Australian new-car buyers.

    It also gives customers comparing electric vehicles another independently assessed model to consider.
