China's Best-Selling Car Just Got Better And Cheaper The updated Geely Xingyuan (EX2) has new assisted driving features, more range, and starts at just above $9,000. - The Geely Xingyuan (EX2) was China's best-selling car in 2025. - The update adds more tech and a larger battery, good for up to 298 miles of CLTC range. - The new base price is a mere $9,133 for a limited time. I may have just published my overview of China’s best-selling car, the Geely Xingyuan (EX2), but that doesn’t mean Chinese brands are going to stand still. About a month after driving the EX2, Geely has already updated it to stay competitive in China’s hot small car market. It may look about the same as the car I’ve driven, but the updates under the skin are more substantial than what the familiar styling suggests. Firstly, the EX2 gains the Geely Afari Smart Driving (G-ASD) system. Announced earlier this year at CES, this AI-forward driving-assistance program is the backbone of Geely’s autonomous-driving aspirations. Although in this instance, the implementation isn’t as in-depth as the Geely EVA Cab self-driving concept car, it does gain navigate-on-autopilot automated navigation features and automated parking. It even gets sentry mode, where the cameras can record the vehicle's surroundings. This is a big deal, considering the older models didn’t have these features at all, while its biggest competitor, the BYD Seagull, offered its God’s Eye system as an option. Then, the EX2 now has more range. The powertrain is about the same: the base 80-horsepower version with the 30.12-kilowatt-hour battery, and the 114-hp and 40.16-kWh battery trims. Now there's also a new, larger 47 kWh battery. With this new battery, the EX2 can now reach 298 miles of range, but keep in mind these numbers are for China’s CLTC
