Geely EX5 EV and Okavango Elite Hit SM Mall of Asia Showcase

Geely Philippines is stepping up its presence in the country with two of its latest models taking the spotlight at a mall-based showcase this month. Visitors at SM Mall of Asia from August 28 to September 3 will be able to see the fully electric Geely EX5 Max and the Okavango Elite hybrid SUV up close as part of the brand’s New EnerGeely mall tour.

The display comes just weeks after the EX5 Max’s official Philippine launch on June 30, which marked Geely Motor Philippines Corporation’s formal entry into the all-electric segment. Positioned as a compact electric SUV, the EX5 Max carries a 60.22 kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery rated for up to 425 kilometers on a single charge under WLTP standards. It supports both standard and fast charging, taking about six hours for a full top-up or 20 minutes to go from 30 to 80 percent.

On the road, the EX5 Max delivers a peak output of 160 kW and 320 Nm of torque, allowing the EV to sprint from zero to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds. Geely highlights its 11-in-1 Intelligent Electric Drive System as a key feature for improved efficiency and responsiveness.

Sharing the stage with the EX5 is the Okavango Elite, a three-row SUV that emphasizes space and practicality for families. The model combines a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with an electric motor, producing 190 hp and 300 Nm of torque. Inside, it offers flexible seating for seven, leather upholstery, and a three-zone climate control system. The Okavango Elite is also eligible for green plates, signaling compliance with the country’s eco-friendly vehicle standards.

Prices for the two models are set at ₱1,799,000 for the EX5 Max and ₱1,368,000 for the Okavango Elite. To sweeten the deal, Geely is offering a promo where buyers of the EX5 Max until September 25, 2025, will receive a free Meizu Note 22 smartphone. Both vehicles are available through Geely’s nationwide dealerships.

The mall tour is part of Geely’s relaunch campaign in the Philippines, with earlier stops at Alabang Town Center earlier in August. According to the company, the program is designed to give potential customers a closer look at its models while responding to growing interest in EVs and hybrids amid rising fuel costs.
