Geely E2 takes European orders at €19,490

Geely has opened European orders for its E2 electric hatchback in Belgium at an introductory starting price of 19,490 euros, according to a report published August 5 by CarNewsChina. The report said deliveries are scheduled for September and that the launch offer cuts 2,000 euros from a stated Belgian list price of 21,490 euros. Geely Auto Europe has already listed the E2 on its European website as a “coming soon” model, signaling the car’s role in the brand’s broader rollout across the region. The move places Geely directly into Europe’s low-cost electric hatchback fight. CarNewsChina said the discounted Belgian starting price undercuts the BYD Dolphin Surf, which it listed at 20,475 euros in Belgium. BYD Europe’s own model page positions the Dolphin Surf as a compact city EV and highlights features including a 10.1-inch rotating touchscreen, though it does not show Belgian pricing on the page surfaced in search results.

CarNewsChina said the E2 became available for reservations there and cited Eris Yahsi, identified as Geely Europe’s director of sales and network, as saying the car had officially launched in Belgium. (carnewschina.com) Geely Auto Europe’s website does not, in the material surfaced by search, publish the Belgian launch price directly. It does show the E2 as an upcoming European model, while a separate Geely Europe news page says the company completed its brand rollout across Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg in March 2026. ### What does the 19,490-euro price include? (carnewschina.com) The 19,490-euro figure is described as an introductory offer rather than the regular list price. CarNewsChina reported that the standard Belgian starting price is 21,490 euros and said the launch offer reduces that by 2,000 euros. The report added that the validity period for the discount was not specified. (geelyauto.eu) That temporary pricing matters because it frames the E2’s opening position in the market. CarNewsChina said the discount is what moves the car below the Belgian starting price it cited for BYD’s Dolphin Surf. ### What kind of car is the E2? The E2 is the European name for the Geely Xingyuan sold in China, according to CarNewsChina. (carnewschina.com) The publication said the model was China’s bestselling car in 2025 with 465,775 deliveries and remained in first place in the first half of 2026 with 194,159 domestic deliveries, citing China EV DataTracker. In Europe-spec details cited by CarNewsChina, the E2 measures 4,135 mm long, 1,805 mm wide and 1,580 mm high, with a 2,650 mm wheelbase. The report said the car will be offered in Pro, Max and Ultra trims in Belgium, with a 35 kWh battery and 252 km WLTP range on the Pro, and a 47 kWh battery with 345 km WLTP range on the Max and Ultra. It also listed a 375-liter trunk, a 70-liter front trunk, heated seats, a 14.6-inch screen and seven airbags. (carnewschina.com) ### How does this fit into Geely’s wider Europe push? March 25-26, 2026 is the date Geely Auto Europe says it completed its brand rollout across five core European countries: Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. A July 2 Geely Auto Europe post said the company’s overseas sales reached 474,228 vehicles in the first half of 2026, up 158% year over year. (carnewschina.com) By 2026, Geely says it plans to establish more than 100 authorized service centers across five European subsidiaries, according to its service page. The E2’s Belgian order opening and September delivery schedule give the next concrete milestone in that expansion, while Geely Auto Europe continues to list the model as coming soon on its regional site.
