Geely EX5 EM-i Launches in the Philippines, Ushering in a New Era of Intelligent Hybrid Technology with GEA Architecture

OFFICIAL RELEASE: Geely Motor Philippines | PUBLISHER: ADVAI

[March 27^th, 2026], [Manila, Philippines] – Geely Philippines proudly announces the launch of Geely EX5 EM-i in Philippines. As another global strategic model following the all-electric Geely EX5, the Geely EX5 EM-i is natively built on Geely’s GEA (Global Intelligent Electric Architecture) and debuts with the latest super hybrid system. This Philippines market launch not only marks an important breakthrough in Geely’s global deployment of plug-in hybrid technology, but also carries 20 years of profound powertrain technology accumulation, leading the new direction of global electric hybrid technology development through disruptive innovation.

As the currently most comprehensive new energy architecture in the industry, GEA perfectly accommodates the full spectrum of energy forms, including pure electric, plug-in hybrid, and range extender, and can fully adapt to all vehicle categories, including sedans, SUVs, MPVs, and future mobility. With its ultra-wide product bandwidth and exceptional adaptability, the GEA architecture provides a solid technical foundation for Geely Auto’s global strategic deployment, truly achieving “one architecture, infinite possibilities.”

GEA Native Architecture Comprehensive Protection, Creating Industry-Leading Safety and Comfort Standards

Ultimate Safety Protection Architecture

Safety first has always been Geely Auto’s brand DNA. The Geely EX5 EM-i adopts a five-channel dedicated layout design, with complete isolation of fuel, electric, and gas systems. High and low voltage areas do not interfere with each other, and fuel and electric systems are mutually independent, achieving safer fuel-electric coexistence. The pioneering “6-horizontal 4-vertical” fuel-electric safety compartment design constructs a 360-degree protection structure and a complete force transmission path. To ensure ultimate safety protection during front and rear collisions, the Geely EX5 EM-i carefully designs a 140mm golden safety distance between the batteries and fuel tank, far exceeding non-native architecture-based products. Around the batteries and fuel tank, the entire vehicle chassis architecture is equipped with 360-degree collision protection rings. When a collision occurs, the protection ring absorbs energy through controlled deformation, protecting core structural safety.

Premium Space and Acoustic Experience

The Geely EX5 EM-i adopts the industry-leading battery pack layout, achieving deep integration between battery and body structure. While enhancing protection performance, it significantly optimizes space utilization and comfort. Thanks to efficient spatial layout design, the GEA platform creates a spacious experience comparable to D-class vehicles with C-class body dimensions, bringing users a premium experience. Acoustic performance is equally outstanding, creating an extremely quiet driving environment comparable to luxury SUVs.

Geely EM-i Super Hybrid System Sets New Efficiency Records

At the heart of the Geely EX5 EM-i lies a dedicated engine achieving an industry-leading 46.5% thermal efficiency – setting a new global benchmark for mass-produced engines. The system combines an efficient 1.5L, 73kW engine with a powerful 160kW/262N·m electric motor for exceptional performance. The integrated E-DHT 11-in-1 hybrid drive unit represents a 13.5% weight reduction over previous generations while achieving remarkable efficiency: 98.02% maximum motor efficiency and 92.5% overall electric drive efficiency. With 83 km of pure electric range (WLTP cycle), the Geely EX5 EM-i enables emission-free daily commuting, while its 943 km total range ensures confidence on longer journeys.

Precision manufacturing at world-class micron-level facilities ensures grouping accuracy within 1um -50% better than industry standards – guaranteeing exceptional durability and reliability.

Guinness-Recognized Safety and Efficiency Define Geely EX5 EM-i

For many Filipino drivers, the impact of rising fuel prices is now a daily reality, influencing not just travel habits but also vehicle choices. As a result, there is a growing preference for solutions that can deliver better fuel economy without compromising convenience or usability. The Geely EX5 EM-i responds to this shift, offering a hybrid system that allows drivers to reduce fuel consumption in stop-and-go traffic while still having the confidence to travel longer distances when needed.

Beyond testing capabilities, the Geely EX5 EM-i has also demonstrated its efficiency on a global stage. In a long-distance drive from Sydney to Melbourne, the Geely EX5 EM-i achieved a Guinness World Record fuel consumption result of 3.83 liters per 100 kilometers. This milestone highlights the vehicle’s advanced energy management and efficiency optimization. Bringing these capabilities into everyday driving, the Geely EX5 EM-i offers a practical solution for motorists looking to better manage fuel costs while maintaining safety and reliability on the road.

Supporting this approach is Geely’s broader investment in research and development. The company’s Safety Testing Center, recognized with five Guinness World Records, highlights the scale at which its vehicles are engineered and validated. From high-speed crash simulations to extreme weather testing, these facilities are designed to replicate a wide range of real-world scenarios, helping ensure that both safety and performance are consistently achieved.
