Geely Auto opened 2026 with strong global momentum, reporting January sales of 270,167 passenger vehicles, up 1% year on year and 14% month on month. New energy vehicle (NEV) deliveries reached 124,252 units, marking a 3% year-on-year increase, while sales outside mainland China totaled 60,506 units, up 121% year on year and 50% month on month. Of these, NEV sales accounted for 32,117 units, up 76% month-on-month.
Following its transition to direct local operations and a milestone 2025, Geely Philippines enters 2026 with its most expansive product roadmap to date. The company has confirmed multiple new models launching throughout the year across SUV, hatchback, and sedan segments, powered by battery electric, plug-in hybrid, and internal combustion technologies.
The first major launch is set to arrive in the first quarter. A plug-in hybrid SUV internally known as the EX5 EM-I, will mark the next step in Geely’s electrification strategy in the country. Positioned to combine electric-only city driving with extended hybrid range for longer trips, the EX5 EM-I is designed to offer flexibility suited to Philippine driving conditions, from dense urban traffic to longer provincial routes.
Rather than relying on a single electrification pathway, Geely continues to offer BEV, PHEV, and ICE technologies across its global lineup to match varying infrastructure and customer needs. Strong global growth in new energy vehicles reinforces confidence in this multi-path strategy as it expands locally.
Beyond new product introductions, Geely Philippines is also strengthening its operational foundation to support growth. The company is targeting 7,000 sales in 2026 and expects to expand its dealer network to over 40 outlets nationwide to improve market coverage and accessibility.
After-sales capabilities are also being supported by a 4,500 square meter Parts warehouse in Laguna that is stocked with approximately US$5 million worth of components and maintaining 1.3 million SKUs in inventory. Working with partners, Geely has tripled operational efficiency, improving service turnaround times, first-time fulfillment rates, and inventory accuracy. These improvements are intended to support long-term ownership confidence.
Under the “One Geely” strategy, Geely Auto continues to strengthen its product matrix, with differentiated brands and offerings designed to address distinct customer segments across global and emerging markets.
The Geely brand, positioned as a global mainstream new energy vehicle marque, achieved January sales of 82,990 units. Notably, the Geely EX2 was successfully launched in Indonesia and has begun local production—highlighting the brand’s accelerating footprint in ASEAN markets. Meanwhile, Geely’s fuel vehicle lineup delivered 134,448 units, up 87% month-on-month, maintaining its position as China’s best-selling fuel passenger vehicle lineup for the ninth consecutive year.
Lynk & Co, Geely’s global premium new energy brand, recorded 28,877 deliveries in January, up 12% year-on-year, with cumulative global sales exceeding 1.71 million units. Global deliveries of the Lynk & Co 01 and Lynk & Co 06 have now surpassed 330,000 units and 300,000 units, respectively.
At the luxury end, Zeekr, Geely’s global luxury technology brand, delivered 23,852 vehicles in January, nearly doubling year-on-year with 99.7% growth. Its flagship models—the Zeekr 9X and Zeekr 009—continue to lead their respective premium SUV and MPV segments in mainland China. In mid-January, the Zeekr 7GT officially launched in Europe, entering 12 markets including the Nordics, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.
Looking ahead, Geely Auto Group targets total sales of 3.45 million vehicles in 2026, including 640,000 units in international markets. The Group remains committed to delivering safe, intelligent, and reliable mobility solutions, while accelerating product launches, expanding global networks, and elevating customer experiences—supporting sustainable growth worldwide and reinforcing confidence in key markets such as the Philippines.
