Geely expands global EV lineup

Entities: Geely Auto Group · Flyme Auto 2.0 · Volvo Cars · E2 · EX30 Cross Country

Overview

Geely continues to broaden its electric‑vehicle portfolio worldwide. In July 2026 the company opened reservations for the five‑door E2 compact hatchback in Spain and Ireland, offering a €500 refundable reservation fee and promising first deliveries by the end of September. The E2 measures 4.13 m × 1.81 m × 1.58 m, seats five, provides a 375‑liter trunk (expandable to 1,320 L), and is powered by a rear‑mounted 115 hp (85 kW) motor paired with an under‑50 kWh LFP pack delivering a WLTP‑certified 345 km range. Inside, a dual‑screen 14.6‑inch display runs Flyme Auto 2.0 with Apple CarPlay.

Geely’s German‑market activity grew with a new leasing programme for its E5 electric SUV. The model, equipped with a 160 kW motor and a WLTP range of up to 430 km, can be leased for €124.58 per month after a €6,000 state incentive and includes an eight‑year warranty on the car and battery.

The group’s Volvo subsidiary launched the EX30 Cross Country, a compact electric SUV tuned for off‑road use. The variant retains the EX30’s twin‑motor AWD system and premium cabin while adding higher ground clearance, rugged cladding, a roof rack and dedicated tyres.

These moves reinforce Geely’s strategy of offering affordable, well‑equipped EVs across multiple segments and regions.
