Redefine the benchmark of hybrid technology
The Geely EX5 EM-i features the world-leading new-generation EM-i Super Hybrid System. Its 1.5L 73kW high-efficiency engine is deeply integrated with a powerful 160kW/262N·m electric motor, achieving a globally leading engine thermal efficiency of 46.5% for maximized fuel utilization. Equipped with the world’s first E-DHT 11-in-1 hybrid electric drive, the system delivers a combined efficiency of up to 92.5%. Compared to the previous generation, the entire powertrain system has achieved significant technological breakthroughs, reducing weight by 13.5% and lowering energy loss by 4.3%, delivering a more efficient driving experience for users.
The Geely EX5 EM-i excels in energy consumption control, achieving a WLTP combined fuel consumption (SOC < 25%) as low as 6.2 L/100 km and an electric energy consumption of just 14.7 kWh/100 km under WLTP conditions. This dual energy-saving advantage significantly reduces daily travel costs for users. Regarding range performance, the WLTP pure electric range reaches 83 kilometers, fully covering the urban commuting distances of most users and enabling zero-emission green travel. The combined range extends up to 943 kilometers, ensuring confident handling of long-distance journeys.
Extreme design to build a cabin that is comfortable for all
The Geely EX5 EM-i inherits Geely NEV’s minimalist, modern, and international design philosophy. Its sleek yet powerful body shape is masterfully crafted from nine meticulously sculpted curved surfaces.
In terms of space utilization, the Geely EX5 EM-i leverages the GEA Architecture to boost its 2755mm ultra-long wheelbase to achieve an industry-leading 84.3% space efficiency. Rear passengers enjoy generous headroom, shoulder room, knee room, and legroom for a spacious and comfortable ride. Thoughtfully integrated throughout the cabin are over 30 clever storage solutions. The trunk offers a standard 428L capacity, complemented by a 100L hidden underfloor compartment. With the rear seats folded down, cargo space expands to 2065L, perfectly balancing daily utility and long-distance travel needs.
The Geely EX5 EM-i features an innovative ergonomic seat design. The front seats employ a zero- sensation relief layer to deliver ultimate comfort with a “soft back, springy seat” sensation. Via 3-level ventilation, it elevates the driving experience to luxury standards.
The Geely EX5 EM-i’s exceptional design prowess has garnered unanimous recognition from international authorities, securing the 2024 IDA Design Award Silver Prize, the 2025 MUSE Design Award Platinum Prize, the 2025 Red Dot Design Award, the 2025 Red Dot Design Award (Seat Category), and the 2024-2025 Italian A’ Design Award.

Once activated, the camping space also enables an external power supply, providing comprehensive outdoor entertainment capabilities.
All-around protection for every worry-free travel
As a safety-oriented brand with three decades of automotive expertise, Geely has always regarded safety as its brand DNA. The Geely EX5 EM-i employs an innovative triple-power redundancy backup design featuring P1 and P3 motors alongside the engine, ensuring stable power output at all times and fundamentally eliminating range anxiety.
Built on the advanced GEA architecture, its oil-electric isolation safety design inherits Geely’s eight high-quality vehicle safety structures. The classic cloverleaf force-dispersing concept ingeniously redirects 44.5% of frontal impact forces to the sides while absorbing 39.7% transmitted by the subframe. Through its proprietary “six horizontal, four vertical” fuel-electric safety cell structure and 360-degree six-ring collision protection system, it builds an impenetrable fortress for the fuel tank and battery pack. Standard equipment includes six airbags, featuring integrated front and rear side curtain airbags. Both the driver’s airbag (55L) and front passenger airbag (105L) employ large-volume designs for faster inflation, delivering comprehensive collision protection for occupants.
For battery safety, the Geely EX5 EM-i employs the Geely Battery Safety System. Its battery underguard features an industry-first “sandwich” structure design, delivering higher strength, 25% weight reduction, and enhanced corrosion resistance. Validated through over 100 rigorous full-scenario extreme condition tests, it safeguards every journey with ultimate safety standards.
For active safety, the Geely EX5 EM-i integrates a high-precision camera with dual millimeter-wave radars to deliver intelligent safety features including LDW Lane Departure Warning, CMSF Collision Mitigation System, LCA Lane Change Assist, and RCW Rear Cross-Traffic Warning. This 360-degree active safety system provides comprehensive front, side, and rear protection, ensuring no blind spots in safety coverage.
Guinness World Records for Safety and Efficiency: Geely Sets New Benchmarks
As fuel prices continue to rise, many Filipino drivers are becoming more mindful of how much they spend on daily transportation.
