This Tiny Hatchback Is The Best-Selling Car In China. But How?

The Geely E2 reportedly sold 244,000 units in the first half of 2026, beating the Tesla Model Y and Xiaomi SU7.

Starting at around $9,000 in China, the compact hatchback combines a roomy interior with modern tech.

Despite the global SUV boom, this simple electric hatchback proves practicality can still win over buyers.

In China, there's a little car that's generating a lot of buzz—and more importantly, it's selling in huge numbers. Meet the Geely E2, the country's best-selling vehicle in 2025. So far, it's holding onto that title in 2026, too.

While the figures aren't official yet, estimates suggest the compact electric hatchback—also sold as the Geely EX2, Geely Galaxy Xingyuan, and Geome Xingyuan—found around 244,000 buyers in China during the first half of 2026 alone. That's enough to beat the Tesla Model Y (215,000), Xiaomi SU7 (182,000), and Leapmotor A10 (171,000).
