Geely says there’s a total of 36 storage spaces and cubbies dotted throughout this car, including a unique drawer-style glovebox that, amazingly, is large enough for the charging cable. Customers will also be able to add an extra 25-litre storage box hidden underneath the rear seats.
The 375-litre boot isn’t the biggest in this class, but its capacity is about 50 litres greater than the R5’s, and very nearly as much as you get in a VW Golf, plus there’s an additional 70 litres of storage under the bonnet. Fold the rear seats down and you get 1,320 litres to play with, which is, in fact, more than you get in a Golf.
Much like the exterior, the EX2’s cabin is simple, smart and solid, if not particularly exciting or plush. The big touchscreen is sharp and responsive, there are physical buttons on the steering wheel and a small selection of others on the centre console, while overall everything feels well screwed or glued together. We think the illuminated constellation pattern on the dashboard and doors is a nice touch too – even if the idea seems to be pinched from Rolls-Royce.

However, it’s a sea of plastic inside the EX2. The top of the dashboard, the doors and the centre console all use hard, dull, cheap-feeling black plastic, and there’s gloss piano black stuff on the dash which is guaranteed to attract dust and fingerprints. The rest of the trim does a poor job intimating metal (at least we think that’s what it is trying to do).
