Geely EX2 Reaches 1 Million Units Produced in Just Two Years

Geely produced its one-millionth EX2 electric hatchback on 20 October 2026, exactly two years after the vehicle originally launched in China in October 2024. According to a report by CarNewsChina, this milestone reflects total factory vehicle production rather than end-user retail registrations or customer deliveries.

Known as the Xingyuan in China and the E2 in certain overseas markets, the electric vehicle is manufactured by Geely and serves as the technical foundation for Malaysia's Proton e.MAS 5. However, the report does not state whether Proton-badged units are counted within this one-million production total.

Key Facts

How Did Geely EX2 Production Reach One Million Units?

Geely EX2 production reached one million units through rapid manufacturing escalation between May 2025 and October 2026 across domestic and international facilities. Production rose from 200,000 units in May 2025 to 600,000 in March 2026, hitting 800,000 in August before crossing the one-million mark on 20 October 2026.

Based on China EV DataTracker figures cited by CarNewsChina, the domestic Xingyuan model recorded 465,775 retail sales in China throughout 2025. Between January and September 2026, retail sales reached 310,391 units, supported by progressive monthly totals of 32,306 in July, 39,651 in August, and 44,275 in September.

International expansion has seen the model enter Latin America, Southeast Asia, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Local assembly commenced at Purwakarta, Indonesia in January 2026, whilst manufacturing at Brazil's Ayrton Senna complex is scheduled for December 2026.

"The Geely EX2 achieved one million units of cumulative global production on 20 October 2026, precisely two years following its October 2024 launch in China."

What Are the Platform and Battery Specifications of the Geely EX2?

The Geely EX2 is built on the Global Intelligent Electric Architecture (GEA) featuring a rear-mounted motor, rear-wheel drive, and independent multi-link rear suspension. China-specification models utilise Aegis Short Blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, offering capacities of 30.12 kWh and 40.16 kWh that deliver 310 km and 410 km CLTC ranges respectively.

In May 2026, Geely introduced a long-range derivative capable of 480 km under the CLTC test cycle, accompanied by the Flyme Auto 2.0 cockpit operating system. Practical storage includes a 70-litre front luggage compartment (frunk) alongside a 375-litre rear boot, which extends to 1,320 litres when folding the rear seats.

Who Is This For in Malaysia?

This production milestone directly impacts prospective Malaysian electric vehicle buyers because the Geely EX2 serves as the mechanical and structural basis for the Proton e.MAS 5 sold locally. Understanding its international production scale and engineering architecture provides Malaysian motorists with direct insight into the proven volume underpinning Proton's local electric hatchback offering.

The vehicle is marketed under Proton's new e.MAS electrified sub-brand in Malaysia. While Geely assembles the vehicle across multiple international sites including Purwakarta in Indonesia, the CarNewsChina report does not confirm whether Proton e.MAS 5 production volumes contribute directly to Geely's one-million milestone.

"The Geely EX2 forms the underlying platform for the Proton e.MAS 5 sold to electric vehicle buyers in Malaysia."

Common Questions

Is the Proton e.MAS 5 included in the one-million Geely EX2 production milestone?

The report by CarNewsChina does not state whether production of the Proton-branded e.MAS 5 is included in Geely's one-million milestone. The figure specifically accounts for total factory vehicles produced across Geely's manufacturing network rather than retail sales.

What battery capacity and driving range options does the Geely EX2 offer?

The China-market model offers Aegis Short Blade LFP batteries in 30.12 kWh and 40.16 kWh capacities, providing 310 km and 410 km CLTC ranges. In May 2026, Geely added an extended-range variant offering up to 480 km CLTC.

Where is the Geely EX2 produced globally outside of China?

Local assembly of the Geely EX2 commenced in Purwakarta, Indonesia in January 2026. Furthermore, assembly at the Ayrton Senna manufacturing complex in Brazil is scheduled to begin in December 2026 to support its wider overseas market rollout.
