GEELY Philippines is adding another layer to its electrification strategy with the launch of the EX5 EM-i, a plug-in hybrid SUV that sits alongside the brand’s all-electric EX5.

Built on Geely’s Global Intelligent Electric Architecture (GEA), the EX5 EM-i is designed to handle multiple powertrain types from the ground up — electric, hybrid, and range-extender — rather than adapting a traditional combustion platform. That flexibility is becoming increasingly relevant as markets like the Philippines continue to sit somewhere between full electrification and fuel dependence.
