Geely EX2 Wins Wheels Best Compact Car 2026-2027
The world's bestselling small EV*, the Geely EX2, has added another title to its growing list of accolades, taking out Wheels Best Compact Car 2026 - 2027.
In the rapidly evolving compact car segment, the Wheels Best Compact Car award is a strong endorsement of the Geely EX2's clever packaging, thoughtful design, advanced safety and technology, and engaging electric driving experience. For Brisbane drivers researching compact electric vehicles, the award further highlights why the EX2 is attracting attention both locally and globally.
The Wheels Best program saw the Geely EX2 tested against a range of new and established competitors, with the publication awarding the EV hatchback top honours for its:
"Small footprint, big thinking, and impressive combination of space, technology, practicality and value."
The Geely EX2 has enjoyed a strong start in the Australian market, with 1,753 total sales recorded as of the end of August. Of those, 1,279 deliveries occurred in August alone, placing the EX2 not only within Australia's top 25 models, but also as the nation's bestselling passenger vehicle for the month. This achievement further strengthens the model's position as China's bestselling vehicle during 2025*.
On the Geely EX2, Wheels said:
"The Geely EX2 makes a strong argument for the compact car itself as it proves that you don't necessarily need something bigger, heavier and more expensive to get a great all-round product. That's why it's the clear winner of Wheels Best Compact Car for 2026."
Designed to challenge traditional perceptions of small cars, the Geely EX2 features a surprisingly spacious cabin, a class-leading 70L front trunk, a comprehensive active and passive safety suite, advanced infotainment technology, and a range of comfort and convenience features including heated front seats and a power tailgate. Owners also benefit from Geely's comprehensive warranty coverage and EV charging support.
At Geely Brisbane City, the award reinforces what many customers have already experienced firsthand. Combining practical urban dimensions with impressive interior space, advanced technology and exceptional value, the EX2 is proving that an electric vehicle doesn't need to be large or expensive to make a significant impact.
