Autohub Group’s Mr. Willy Tee Ten and Gateway Group’s Mr. Michael Goho join Geely Motor Philippines CEO Mr. Sylva Yu and Product Expert Mr. Philan Sun on stage following a brief on-stage exchange. During the segment, Tee Ten described Geely as “a force to be reckoned with,” while Goho expressed optimism about the brand’s direction as it introduced the all-electric EX5 and hybrid Okavango Elite.

The all-electric Geely EX5 and hybrid Okavango delivers two key driving needs in the Philippines—urban efficiency and family versatility.

Geely Motor Philippines is accelerating its product resurgence with the launch of two new energy vehicles in their line-up: the all-electric Geely EX5 and the hybrid Okavango Elite. The event, held at The Blue Leaf Cosmopolitan in Robinsons Bridgetowne, marks a milestone in bringing new energy products since adopting a direct subsidiary model last February.

“This new chapter is about putting the driver first—with vehicles built for real-world roads and everyday routines,” said Sylva Yu, CEO of Geely Motor Philippines. “Whether it’s the quiet torque of the EX5 or the hybrid practicality of the Okavango Elite, we’re delivering performance, comfort, and adaptability that Filipino motorists will immediately feel.”

Geely EX5: Smart, Quiet, and Fully Electric

The EX5, Geely’s first all-electric SUV in the Philippines, is priced at PHP 1,799,000. It represents Geely’s vision of a next-generation SUV, structured across five key dimensions: new energy, safety, comfort, intelligence, and design.

New Energy: The EX5 runs on Geely’s short blade battery and an 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive system. It charges from 30% to 80% in just 20 minutes and achieves excellent energy efficiency via IGBT optimization—ideal for urban driving routines.

Safety: Dual 5-star crash ratings from Euro NCAP and ANCAP speak to its global safety credentials. The CTB (cell-to-body) structure enhances structural integrity, while its ADAS suite adds real-world protection for daily commutes.

Comfort: A spacious cabin, front-row massage seats, and refined noise control (just 68.3 dB at highway speeds) help deliver a smooth and peaceful ride for both driver and passengers.

Intelligence: Inside, the EX5 is powered by the Flyme Auto cockpit—featuring a 15.4-inch touchscreen, 13.8-inch HUD, voice control (10 languages), and L2 ADAS with 360° panoramic parking and transparent chassis view.

Design: Signature features include flush electric door handles, a panoramic sunroof, and antibacterial interior materials. Its clean silhouette signals a more modern, wellness-minded SUV experience. As an EV, it qualifies for a green plate under the Philippine EV Incentives Act.

Geely Okavango Elite: Built for Big Days and Bigger Families

At PHP 1,368,000, the Okavango Elite is a spacious 7-seat hybrid SUV with Geely’s signature multi-role versatility. It’s the only model in its segment with seven fully independent seats, offering flexibility across family, work, and adventure uses.

With over five configurable layouts and a maximum cargo space of 2,050 liters (equivalent to 20 large suitcases), the Okavango easily adapts to changing needs—from school runs and carpooling to long-haul trips or business deliveries.

Key upgrades include refreshed exterior styling, a more refined interior, a wide-angle 360° camera system, and a high-strength steel framework for better protection. Its hybrid engine delivers both performance and efficiency, while its green plate status provides coding exemptions and mobility perks.

Smartly Positioned, Confidently Delivered

Together, the EX5 and Okavango Elite respond to two key needs on Philippine roads: electrified city driving and spacious family transport. With Geely now operating under a direct subsidiary model, the company aims to improve responsiveness and bring global innovation closer to Filipino motorists.

“These cars aren’t just feature-rich. They’re built with insight into how Filipinos actually move,” Yu said. “It’s about being smart, relevant, and ready for the roads we drive every day.”
