Geely EX2 Review: Exceptional Value Without Feeling Cheap
The Geely EX2 is one of the strongest-value small electric cars I have driven. It combines genuinely impressive passenger and luggage space, a comfortable ride, loads of equipment, clever technology and an eight-year warranty with a starting price of £20,990. Performance is leisurely and the maximum 214-mile range won't suit everybody, but for everyday driving the EX2 feels considerably more accomplished than its price suggests.
Geely Starray EM-i UK First Drive Review
A promising first drive of a credible plug-in hybrid SUV. The Starray EM-i feels spacious, composed and well put together, but I need more time with it before giving a final verdict on range and efficiency.
Geely EX5 UK Review
The Geely EX5 feels calm, comfortable and better equipped than many will expect. The audio system, ventilated seats and passenger day-bed feature help it feel genuinely premium in daily use.
