Geely to Introduce New Plug-In Hybrid Model EX5 EM-I in PH, Set for Q1 Arrival
OFFICIAL RELEASE: Geely Motor Philippines | PUBLISHER: ADVAI
Geely is preparing to introduce a new plug-in hybrid vehicle, known internally as EX5 EM-I, in the Philippine market, with the model confirmed to arrive within the first quarter of the year as part of the brand’s expanding electrified lineup.
The upcoming EX5 EM-I has recently been spotted in camouflage at local ports and customs areas, signaling that units have already entered the country ahead of its official reveal. While Geely has yet to formally unveil the model locally, the sightings have fueled anticipation for what is expected to be the brand’s next major electrified offering for urban and suburban drivers.
Based on information from other markets where the model—or its equivalent—has already been introduced, the EX5 EM-I is positioned as a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) designed to balance electric driving capability with extended range flexibility. In global markets, the model is reported to feature a combination of electric-only driving for daily commutes and a hybrid system suited for longer trips, addressing common concerns around charging access and range limitations.
This positioning places the EX5 EM-I in direct consideration alongside other plug-in hybrid models currently competing in the compact-to-midsize, electrified segment, where buyers are increasingly looking for alternatives that offer both fuel efficiency and adaptability to unpredictable driving conditions. Compared to pure electric vehicles, PHEVs like the EX5 EM-I are often favored in dense urban environments such as Metro Manila, where traffic, flooding, detours, and varied daily routes make charging-dependent mobility less predictable.
Geely has previously emphasized a diversified electrification strategy across its global lineup, combining battery-electric, plug-in hybrid, and internal combustion powertrains to meet different market needs. According to the company, this multi-path approach allows it to introduce products that align more closely with real-world usage rather than relying on a single electrification solution.
The Philippine introduction of the EX5 EM-I forms part of Geely’s broader product roadmap following its transition to direct local operations. The company has indicated that additional new models across various segments and powertrain types are in the pipeline as it continues to strengthen its presence in the country.
With its official launch expected in the first quarter, the EX5 EM-I is set to become Geely’s next step in expanding plug-in hybrid options for Filipino motorists seeking electrified mobility without compromising everyday driving flexibility.
