Geely Philippines has been a strong contender in the subcompact crossover segment due to the Coolray. Since its launch in 2019, the Coolray was able to storm the local market that helped Sojitz G Auto Philippines (SGAP), the official distributor of Geely vehicles in the country, to have a foothold in the market.
Geely Coolray new color options
To keep its momentum in the market, Geely PH hinted earlier this month that it will be bringing in new exterior colors for the Coolray. Now, the car brand has officially announced that its five-seater subcompact crossover is available with two new exterior color options.
One of the new color options is Sunburst Gold, which is exclusively available for the new top-spec Coolray Sport Limited variant that was launched last October 2021. It is fitted with 18-inch gloss black alloy wheels that are contrasted by red brake calipers. The Geely Coolray Sport Limited also gets ventilated front seats, and a power tailgate with a height memory function. It is priced at Php 1,218,000.
The other new color option is Cloud Blue that is available for the Comfort, and Premium trims. To put things in perspective, Cloud Blue is the pastel version of the Blue exterior paint that was originally available for the said two trims. The Coolray Comfort is the entry-level variant that’s priced at Php 978,000 while the Premium mid-spec trim has a price tag of Php 1,088,000.
Geely PH aims to keep the Coolray’s popularity in the market through the new exterior colors. The car brand shared that it was able to roll out 2,690 brand-new Coolray units as of November 2021. This allowed the Coolray to have a 35 percent market share in the subcompact crossover segment, according to Geely PH.
“The Coolray remains to be the most in demand model in the Geely lineup and a top-seller in its segment. With the recent introduction of the Coolray Sport Limited, we are further enhancing its appeal by adding new exterior colors,” SGAP President & CEO Yosuke Nishi said.
“The additional features and color options we recently introduced for the Coolray is our way of telling everyone that we will never stop improving and bringing fun back in driving,” Nishi added.

All Geely Coolray variants are equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that puts out 177 hp and 255 Nm of torque. The engine is connected to a 7-speed wet type dual-clutch transmission.
