SYDNEY: The all-electric Geely EX2 (Proton e.MAS 5 twin) has been awarded a five-star safety rating by independent safety test organisation, Australasian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP SAFETY).
Tested under the new ‘Stages of Safety’ assessment criteria introduced from 2026, the EX2 scored 86% for Crash Protection, 79% for Safe Driving, 72% for Crash Avoidance, and 95% for Post Crash.
Geely Auto Australia said the results reflect Geely’s commitment to offering Aussie drivers an uncompromising driving experience by design.
The EX2 brings a level of occupant protection and intelligent driver assistance more commonly associated with larger vehicles, while using the same high-tech Global Intelligent Electric Architecture (GEA) platform as the Geely EX5 and Starray EM-i.
The EX2 has advanced passive and active safety features included as standard.
There are active safety features like Evasive Manoeuvre Assist (EMA) as well as safety-assist features including Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) and Auto Lane Change Assist (ALC).
The Inspire variant also includes a 360-degree around-view monitor with transparent view, improving visibility of the surrounding environment.
ANCAP CEO Carla Hoorweg said, "The Geely EX2 has prioritised the fundamentals. It offers a good level of crash protection and a broad suite of crash avoidance features. And, as an electric vehicle, has proven its ability to appropriately isolate high-voltage battery power after a crash, and minimise risks from battery damage”.
Geely Auto Australia managing director Alex Gu said, “With the Geely EX2, we set out to bring a small car to market that does not compromise on safety, technology, design, space, and drivability."
"Its five-star ANCAP rating is a fantastic result and provides a greater level of confidence to our customers that safety is a priority, regardless of vehicle shape or size.”
