EX5 EM-i overview
The EX5 EM-i is Geely's plug-in hybrid SUV, launched in the Philippines in 2026 as a direct answer to the BYD Sealion 6 DM-i. ZigWheels lists two variants: the Pro at ₱1,288,000 and the Max at ₱1,468,000. Both undercut the Sealion 6 DM-i, which BYD lists at ₱1,598,000, and that price gap is the main reason this model will end up on many shortlists.
The system pairs a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine (73 kW, 125 Nm) with a 160 kW (215 hp), 262 Nm electric motor and a single-speed dedicated hybrid transmission. An 18.4 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery gives a quoted 105 km of electric range on the NEDC cycle, and Geely claims more than 1,000 km of combined range. Both variants share this powertrain. Geely Philippines quotes 0 to 100 km/h in 8.0 seconds. Unlike the Okavango's mild hybrid, this system can drive on electricity alone, which is what makes it a true plug-in hybrid.
For many Filipino households, a plug-in hybrid like this is the practical middle step between gasoline and full electric. You can do the weekday commute on electricity charged at home, then drive to Bicol or Ilocos on gasoline without hunting for chargers. The body is 4,740 mm long with 172 mm of ground clearance and a 528-liter trunk, per ZigWheels, so it is a full family-size SUV. As a plug-in hybrid it should also qualify for EVIDA perks such as the number coding exemption; confirm the registration classification with your dealer. Also ask for the AC charging time and whether a wall charger comes with the car.
Who it is for: Families who want to drive mostly on electricity during the week but still need gasoline range for long provincial trips.
