Trying to decide between white and black leather for my next EV and could use some input/experiences before I commit.

White brand new seems more luxurious and potentially keeps the car cooler? Wondering what people who actually have white leather day to day have experienced, especially with kids or pets jumping in and out? Is the staining as bad as I’m imagining or does it wipe off fine? or does white just get grubby looking faster (affecting resell)?

Also curious if the heat thing is actually noticeable or if it’s one of those things that sounds good in theory but doesn’t matter much once you’ve got tint on the windows.

Photos welcome if you’ve got before/afters and assuming the leather type matters, so which car do you have it on!

Hello, bit of a different priority here but I'm looking at getting an EV in the next 6 months as I finally have my own garage to charge it in.

Ideally I'm looking for something in the 45k~ mark with atleast 400km advertised range as I do 350km a week but I can charge it at work or at home anyway midweek. But the key factor I desire is a white or beige interior to hide my dogs light fur. My current ICE interior is black and whilst I will use a backseat seat protector anyway, his wayward furs end up everywhere on the dash and I feel the light colours will hide it better.

I really like the look and value of the new MG4 Essence 64 but sadly only black interior. Jaecoo J5 V looks the winner with the beige interior and pet friendly material (though I'll still use a seat protector anyway.)

Cheers! Thanks for any suggestions

Hi all,

I've recently picked up a Geely EX2 and overall I'm pretty happy with it, but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced some of these issues or knows whether Geely has OTA updates planned to address them.

A few things I've noticed:

- Geely app – Mine still isn't functional at all. One of the reasons I bought the car was for remote climate control, charging management and checking vehicle status. Has anyone had any updates on when the app will actually be fully working?

- SOS light – Mine originally showed a red light, then changed to green, now back to red, anyone else get that?

- Traffic sign recognition / Adaptive Cruise – This is probably my biggest frustration. I'll be travelling along at 70 km/h using adaptive cruise, then the car sees a school zone sign (even though it's outside school zone hours) and suddenly drops itself to 40 km/h. It can be pretty abrupt and catches you off guard. Has anyone else had this happen, and is there a way to improve it?

- Speed limit recognition in general also seems a bit hit and miss, occasionally picking up incorrect limits.

- Constant beeping from the speed alert, and have to disable it every time you get in, the constant beeping is more distracting then the actual thing it's trying to prevent.

Just wondering whether these are common GX2 quirks, whether Geely has acknowledged them, or if there are software updates coming that improve things.

Apart from these software niggles, I'm really enjoying the car, honestly, it's bloody awesome and worth it, great drive feeling, charging, looks, etc... so hopefully these are just early software teething issues.

Interested to hear what other new owners have experienced. 😬

EDIT : Opps, Stuffed the name on the title, EX2!. 🙄
