- Which has the longer driving range?
- The MG 4 has the longer WLTP-claimed range at 350 km, 98 km further than the Geely EX2's 252 km. Real-world range typically lands 10–20% below the WLTP figure depending on speed, terrain, climate and load.
- Which one charges faster on a DC fast charger?
- The MG 4 accepts a peak DC charging rate of 117 kW versus 60 kW for the Geely EX2. Peak rate only holds for a short window during the charging curve, so real-world 10–80% times often diverge less than the peak numbers suggest. Compatibility with 350 kW chargers depends on the vehicle's onboard architecture, not just the published peak.
- Which is quicker off the line?
- The MG 4 does 0–100 km/h in 7.7 seconds — 6.5 s quicker than the Geely EX2's 14.2 s. EV acceleration figures hold up at speed better than equivalent petrol cars because electric motors deliver peak torque instantly.
- Is the Geely EX2 better value than the MG 4?
- On paper the Geely EX2 is $4,500 cheaper, but trails the MG 4 on the core measurable specs. The saving might still be worth it if you don't need the extra range, power or charging speed — but the MG 4 is the spec-sheet winner.
