Geely has confirmed that it will display three new models at the 2026 Melbourne Motor Show, including two that are yet to be confirmed for Australia. The first is the EX2 electric hatchback that’s due to launch soon, with the Emgrand plug-in hybrid medium sedan and M9 plug-in hybrid large SUV also making their Australian debuts at the show.

With 465,775 sales in China in 2025, the EX2 was the country’s best-selling car. Using the brand’s ‘GEA’ platform that also underpins the EX5 electric mid-size SUV, the EX2 measures just over four metres in length. It features a 30.12kWh battery for a claimed 310km of range and a 58kW/130Nm motor, but upper-spec models upgrade that to a larger 40kWh battery and an 85kW/150Nm motor.

Geely has announced a special pre-order deal for the EX2, with a free EV charger and premium paint included with a pre-order from April 10 to 12 and delivered before September 30.

Alongside the EX2 will be two new Geely models to Australian shores: The Emgrand EM-i medium sedan –called the Starshine 6 overseas – and the M9, which is the Galaxy M9 in China. Both the Emgrand and M9 use plug-in hybrid drivetrains centred around a 1.5-litre petrol engine, with the Emgrand EM-i making around 175kW of total power in its home market, and the M9 uses an uprated version of the same drivetrain making 650kW.

If they’re launched in Australia, both the Emgrand and M9 will be some of the longest-range plug-in hybrids available.

Competing against the Toyota Camry, the Geely Emgrand EM-i is a handsome medium-sized sedan. Thanks to its plug-in hybrid drivetrain, it’s reportedly capable of an all-electric range of up to 170km (CLTC) and combined with the hybrid system, can travel up to 2100km on a full charge and tank of fuel (CLTC) thanks to low combined fuel consumption of just 2.8L/100km.

Inside, the Emgrand EM-i is fitted with a large 14.6-inch touchscreen running the brand’s ‘Flyme’ operating system, as well as a 10.2-inch digital driver’s display, a 50W wireless phone charger and lashings of synthetic leather trim all over the cabin.

The six-seater M9 takes the Emgrand’s cabin and adds even more synthetic leather trim, a massive 30-inch front cabin display running a fast Qualcomm 8295P chip, a 9.1 litre refrigerator under the centre armrest and even a huge folding rear entertainment display to keep rear passengers happy.

The M9’s plug-in hybrid system can be had with either front- or all-wheel drive with up to 650kW of power, which is good enough for a claimed 0-100km/h time of just 4.5 seconds. It features a large battery for a claimed all-electric range of up to 230km (CLTC) and a total range of over 1500km with a full tank of fuel and fully charged battery.

The Geely EX2, Emgrand EM-i and M9 will all be on display at the 2026 Melbourne Motor Show.
