One of the hottest vehicles to arrive last year is the Geely Okavango surpasses the Azkarra in Geely's 2020 PH sales. The 7-seater Okavango offers Filipino car buyers loaded features, ample interior space, premium-looking exterior styling, and a hybrid powertrain, all at affordable pricing.
Geely Philippines launched the Okavango in 2020
Sojitz G Auto Philippines (SGAP), the official distributor of Geely vehicles in the country, is offering the Geely Okavango with a starting price of Php 1,208,000 for the base Comfort variant and goes up to Php 1,328,000 for the top-of-the-line Urban variant.
The 2021 Geely Okavango
If you are considering an Okavango as your next family vehicle, you should also be aware of its preventive maintenance service (PMS) costs to keep the Okavango in tip-top condition. Fortunately, SGAP shared with us the estimated costs that you can expect in owning an Okavango.
The following prices can vary without prior notice and can still depend on your chosen dealership. Geely Philippines has expanding dealerships available nationwide including in Metro Manila, Cebu, and General Santos. Take note, the following estimates are just for ballpark figures.

Maintenance costs for Parts and Labor
Owning a Geely Okavango is relatively easy as SGAP is providing the first 1,000-km PMS for free. The service will include topping up fluids if needed and inspection of faulty parts. But once your mileage reaches 10,000 km (or six months), expect to pay Php 6,150. The costs include Php 3,898 for parts, Php 1,300 for labor, Php 450 for car care kit, and Php 500 for miscellaneous.
The new Urban Plus variant adds a panoramic sunroof
The 20,000-km PMS will come with a higher price as compared to the previous maintenance service. From this point, you probably owned your Geely Okavango for a year now if you daily drive it. Geely Philippines will include services such as replacement of fully synthetic oil (5W40), oil filter, drain plug, air filter, and AC filter.
Those services will cost you Php 8,498.50 including miscellaneous and car care kits. You can save on your next service at the 30,000-km mark, or 1.5 years, as it comes with a total cost of Php 6,476. This will be the first time Geely Philippines will replace your Okavango’s fuel filter, alongside other regular part replacements.

After reaching the 40,000-km mark, you have probably been driving your Okavango for two years. More parts will be maintained, besides the oil and air conditioning system, such as brake fluid and engine coolant. This brings you to a total of Php 13,950.50.
The longer you own the Okavango, the higher the costs tend to get. For example, the 100,000-km or 5-year PMS will require you to replace the drive belt and coolant pump belt which cost Php 11,978,50 including labor, miscellaneous, and car care kit. The peak cost in owning an Okavango is on the 200,000-km or 10-year PMS with a price at Php 15,090. This is if you still decide to keep the unit at that point.

Know more about Geely Okavango 2024
The Geely Okavango 2024 is the first seven-seater from Geely Philippines for the Philippine market, which also makes it the biggest model in the lineup so far. Its quirky name was taken from the Okavango Delta, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and the 1,000th World Heritage Site recognized by UNESCO. Despite its unibody platform, Geely’s third model for Filipino customers is actually longer and wider than mainstream contenders in the truck-based midsize SUV category, measuring 4,835mm long, 1,900mm wide, and 1,785mm high. Ground clearance, however, is at a rather low 194mm.
The Geely Okavango’s price in the Philippines ranges from Php 1,363,000 for the base Comfort variant to Php 1,765,000 for the range-topping Urban Plus. Rivals in its segment include the Toyota Fortuner, Mitsubishi Montero Sport, Nissan Terra, Isuzu D-Max, and Ford Ranger.

Geely Okavango Launch
The Geely Okavango is known as the Haoyue in the Chinese market. The Haoyue VX11 was officially launched in China last June 2020.
Sojitz G Auto Philippines (SGAP), the official distributor of Geely vehicles in the country, officially launched the Okavango in November 2020. It is the brand’s challenger in the seven-seater SUV segment. The said vehicle expands Geely Philippines’ model lineup to three including the Coolray and the Azkarra.
The 2024 Geely Okavango is offered in three variants, Comfort, Urban, and Urban Plus.
Geely Okavango Exterior
The exterior of the Okavango Philippines has a bold and composed stance. The front end comes with sharp-looking headlights, an aggressive bumper design, and a large grille. Turning at the side, the vehicle is integrated with sharp character lines along with prominent fender flares that further add a muscular look to the Okavango. The rear, on the other hand, is equipped with distinctive taillights that look sleek and stylish. It also has a tailgate-mounted spoiler, a shark-fin antenna, and a bulky bumper.
Geely Okavango Interior
Geely PH says that the Okavango features a vast interior space that has a total of 19-seat configurations, 42 storage nooks, and compartments including a double-layer console. Occupants can sit comfortably in all three rows.
It has a three-zone air conditioning that will give passengers independent AC controls in the driver, front passenger, and rear passenger seats, a 360-degree panoramic camera with a best-in-class guidance system, and dynamic auxiliary lines. It also has 3 driving modes – Eco, Normal, and Sport.
Tech & Safety
The local-spec Geely Okavango features a 360-degree panoramic camera as well as three driving modes (Eco, Normal, and Spor). In addition, the Okavango is equipped with six SRS airbags, overspeed warning, electronic stability control, hill start assist, central locking with speed-sensing auto lock, and hill descent control. The Urban variant also comes with six airbags.
Platform & Chassis
The Geely Okavango comes with a MacPherson Independent suspension at the front and a Multi-link suspension setup at the rear. This seven-seater SUV is equipped with ventilated disc brakes up front and a solid disc at the back.
Geely Okavango Engine & Drivetrain
The Geely Okavango 2024 is powered by a 1.5L Turbo engine that was jointly developed by Geely and Volvo which is perfectly matched to a 7-speed wet-type dual-clutch transmission. It also has a Dual Variable-Valve Timing (DVVT) for a perfect balance of power optimization and fuel efficiency. And thanks to the 48V-EMS, the Okavango boasts of a maximum power of 190 hp and a maximum torque of 300 Nm.
The Geely Okavango 2024 is available in four colors: Grey, White, Silver, and Black.
Styling on the Geely Okavango 2024 is more subdued relative to its competitors, even more so when compared to its Coolray and Azakarra stablemates. While looks are subjective, the sheer interior space brought on by the vehicle’s size leaves very little room for interpretation. Three-row seating ensures more than adequate room for up to seven occupants, with a flexible configuration for carrying cargo. The top-spec Urban Plus features a large panoramic sunroof. A 10.25-inch touchscreen head unit is offered but without native support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Standard across all variants is a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, rated at a combined output of 190 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque. Power is delivered to the front wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, with no option for a four-wheel drivetrain. Airbags, anti-lock brakes, parking sensors, and tire pressure monitoring are offered across the board, with the midrange Urban and flagship Urban Plus getting a 360-degree camera system similar to that used by the Fortuner and Terra. However, unlike most of its rivals, the Okavango does not have adaptive cruise control.
