Since new management took over, Geely Philippines has been slowly revamping its lineup. In recent years, the brand has introduced one electrified model after another. Now, it has added a new hybrid model, and it might be one of the most important ones yet.
This, ladies and gents, is the new Geely EX5 EM-i. This is the plug-in hybrid version of the fully electric EX5, and it’ll go directly against the likes of the BYD Sealion 6 DM-i.
The new Geely EX5 EM-i is priced quite competitively, starting at P1.288 million. That makes it more affordable than even the Ford Territory Hybrid, another electrified crossover from the same segment and price point.

The EX5 EM-i comes equipped with plenty of niceties as standard, but the top-of-the-line version gets all of the bells and whistles. The former gets adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and forward-collision warning with autonomous emergency braking. The latter, meanwhile, packs more safety tech like rear cross-traffic alert with emergency braking and blind-spot detection.
There’s a 15.4-inch infotainment system with a 10.2-inch LCD screen that’s also standard. The head unit gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and gets a six-speaker audio setup by default. The higher Max variant is fitted with a 16-speaker Flyme sound system.
