Geely EX2 Is Coming: How to Accessorise Australia's Newest Budget EV
CarMoods TeamThe Geely EX2 — the five-door electric hatch that was China's best-selling vehicle outright last year, with 465,775 sales — has cleared Australian regulatory approval and is locked in for a launch in the third quarter (July to September) of 2026. Government filings have already revealed most of the key details ahead of Geely's official pricing announcement.
Expect a compact city car pitched squarely at the affordable end of the market. The entry grade uses a 60kW rear-mounted motor, with higher grades stepping up to 85kW, all rear-wheel drive. At 4135mm long it slots in just below the BYD Dolphin and MG 4, and pricing is widely tipped to land close to the sub-$25,000 BYD Atto 1 — making it one of the cheapest new EVs you can buy in Australia.
Whether you've got an EX2 on order or already drive a Geely EX5, Starray or Coolray, a handful of well-chosen accessories make an affordable cabin feel considered rather than cost-cut. Below is a practical guide to styling, comfort and protection — drawing on our Geely accessories range, plus steering wheel covers and interior accessories that suit any new EV.

The Geely EX2 in brief
The EX2 will be the third Geely sold locally, joining the electric EX5 and plug-in hybrid Starray EM-i, and the first of six new models the brand plans for Australia by 2028. All three current cars share the same Global Intelligent Electric Architecture.
In China, the 85kW version pairs with a roughly 40kWh lithium iron phosphate battery for a claimed 410km on the lenient CLTC cycle, so expect a real-world figure comfortably suited to city and suburban duty. Inside, higher grades get a large central touchscreen running Geely's own software. It's a small, sensible EV — and the perfect blank canvas for a few personal touches.
First styling upgrades for a new Geely cabin
Budget EVs tend to keep their interiors simple, which is exactly why a steering wheel cover earns its place first. It's the one surface your hands touch every second you drive, and it instantly lifts the look and feel of the cabin.
Bestseller
Geely Carbon Fiber Suede Steering Wheel Cover
Suede-look grip that warms the feel of a minimalist EV wheel and adds a sporty carbon accent.

Fit a new cover on a warm day. The material is more supple in the heat, which makes it far easier to stretch evenly around the rim for a snug, wrinkle-free finish.
Comfort for the city-EV commute
A small hatch spends most of its life in stop-start traffic and short suburban hops. That's where seat support matters — awkward posture on a firm city-car seat adds up over a week of commuting.

Geely Car Headrest & Lumbar Support Pillow
A matched headrest and lower-back cushion that keeps your posture neutral through daily traffic.

Protect the details on a brand-new car
The best time to protect an interior is before the first scuff. Two spots take the most punishment on any family EV: the backs of the front seats, and the key fob living in your pocket.

Making a budget EV feel like yours
The clever thing about the EX2 is how much car it promises for the money — and a modest accessory budget stretches that value even further. A better wheel to hold, supportive cushions for the commute, and a few protective touches turn a sensible city EV into a cabin that feels personal from day one.
