Luxury Cars Manila: 2021 Geely Okavango Urban Plus 

For me, Geely is like the Xiaomi of car manufacturers. They release few models but it always has value for money. Like Xiaomi, Geely has that flasgship model experience and features but a lot damn cheaper and can compete with "flagship" brands. Keep it up sir KP i enjoy your reviews so much because you keep it real and base it from your experiences. Thanks for superb reviews!!

This Vlog and review is one of the factors that made me choose to buy an Okavango.. For a guy like King Panda who has so much knowldge about cars and made a choice to also buy one is a testament of its features and what it brings to its users.. Great Review and highlights .. Mine Okavango is turning 2 years now, still in great shape and performance...🎉🎉

It's been 11 months since we have our 2nd car Okavango and we could say we are so happy and satisfied with it! We love the 3 zone aircon, very smooth suspension, luxurious cabin and comfortable seats even on the 3rd row and very nice exterior. The 360 is my favorite feature since I'm a newbie driver and it helps me in backing, parking and getting through tight spaces. We miss the sunroof though cause we purchased our urban unit last January unknowingly that urban plus was released by February. Overall, I could say you get more out of what you paid for and that's amazing!

It's 2am and I'm supposed to watch only 10mins but you made the review so technical yet personal and authentic so I ended up watching the full 50+ mins 😅

I have exactly exactly the same discussion with my hubby. And he has the same apprehension. I was able to break his brand loyalty by giving geely okavango a try. When we went to geely dealership in Makati, and saw its features, he was convinced.. Bam!... And will be released on the 22nd, a month after my bday. Happy wife here!!! Thank you God, thank you hubby..

I've driven both Okavango and Coolray and they are really fun to drive! The interior and tech is top-notch for the amount you are paying, SULIT! I agree with what you said that Geely is out here wanting to prove themselves by giving value and quality to their customers. We are in the market for a new car and inuna namin tignan ang Geely cars then went to other Japanese brands and they dont compare talaga pagdating sa comfort and premium feel, parang nasabi na lang namin na "ano ito? Thats it?" "Bitin" We fell in love with the Okavango. The 3 individual seats in the 2nd row is just perfect for families. Thanks for this review KP, sold na kami talaga! 😁

By far, the best review for this particular vehicle! Very entertaining, not boring, detailed, and very convincing! Makes me wanna buy one, too bad ain't got enough money, (sigh). King Panda is undefeated! Always keepin' it real!

I have been in love with Geely since 2019 when they began opening a branch in North Edsa. Each night I go home after SHS I would see their cars, but unfortunately I do not have the resources to purchase one and as much as I love Geely and Okavango-the person who has the resources to purchase one would rather choose a too much expensive vehicle and would say "masyado mahal mag commute nalang tayo" while there is actually a Geely who we can actually trust and offer us a reliable and luxurious service. Thanks KP for showing that I ain't alone with the perspective towards Geely and/or other not-colonial car brands.

King, never change your review format. Yours has a mix of casual vs in depth review. So many pinoy reviewers stuck on the same boring format.. no hate against them. Keep it up! And oh the workout video soon!!

OMG! You got me hooked up on your video. I don't usually watch long hour videos. But this time, i watched every second of it. I don't know how to drive but I'm planning to. And this Okavango Plus got me. Thanks a ton King Panda!

I watched the entire video. Didn't notice that this video is almost an hour long. Lots of thoughts on how to think objectively and logically. I enjoyed this.

Finally something I can afford 😂 !!! I'm surprised that he reviewed a Geely and I trust his reviews because he's transparent and hindi nya masyadong hina-hype that's why he is believable. 👑 🐼

No a sales pitch but indeed a personal love for a purchase is the best way to endorse a product. Didn't skip and watch through the end. Thanks King and Queen Panda for this heart warming car video. If one thing, you can use more mid-roll ads. More power to you King... And I'm considering the Oklavango because of you.

Very nice review. I'm currently in the market for a new car and although it's highly improbable that I'd be able to afford any of the cars you sell, I do enjoy watching your videos. I just appreciate how candid, unpretentious and relatable your presentations are. I must admit though, the Okavango or any Chinese cars for that matter were no where in my shortlist for mostly the same reasons you mentioned. But watching this video really got me thinking hard. I'm not one who can afford to change cars on a whim so if there's one thing that keeps floating in my mind is this car/brand's reliability and sustainability considering that it's relatively new in the market.

You talk and make gestures like my uncle. I almost thought you were him. Thank you for this great review. No BS, no stinkin' clickbait title and whatnot. Just pure information. My wife and I are planning to get this okavango plus. And most of the reviews we've watched are somehow negative and anti-Chinese brands. It was you and Mr. Caco that made us think otherwise.

Aside from caco, itong channel ang isa ring ndi boring at honest on review.. tama ka sir, karamihan sa pinoys ay bias sa car brand.. here in KSA naglipana mga chinese brand at walang ka arte arte.. keep it up sir.. new subs here✌🏻

Well, as we know, Geely merged with Volvo and Volvo is the inventor of the first seat belt. They are still innovating and still concerned on car's safety features which is very amazing.

Thanks for this great review! I learned something new while watching your video, it’s the term you said about”affordable luxury” which I think has a lot of business sense because while before luxury is only offered to a few elite group, the biggest market is still the middle class which will dictate the course of a car company’s innovations and of course bottom line sales and market value. Geely is the new kid in the block that has the potential to succeed and secure a place in the ever evolving motor industry.

Was eyeing Geely Okavango for some time now since i still can't decide, but coming across your video really helped us decide! Thank you! Subbed and gonna watch your other vids!

rewatching this after we got our urban plus. All I can say is sulit talaga, di ka bibiguin from exterior, interior, hanggang sa performance. 10/10

Sir King Panda gud pm! This is the kind of vlogger that i wanted to watched, there is no long introduction, straight to the point even though it took 50mins. It was not boring to watch and i enjoyed this video. You explained it very well and clear!👍#Okavango🚙

I love the car. I love the seeming raw and unadulterated, yet sharp and information-loaded review (partida hindi pa nagfull-on on specs yan). But I love the emphasis on value the most. I think if we Filipinos view stuff based on its net value, not subjective perspectives, we can be great as a country. I can see King Panda content going really big next year. Fearless forecast.

I'm a okavango urban plus owner for 7 months and i'm still satisfy with the car, for a 1.4 million peso price of this car you'll get what you want, the tech and riding comfort is absolutely amazing

I should say this review helped me a lot to decide buying this vehicle after watching this video clip two years ago. The specs are vital but the credibility of the one who gives in depth review also has equal importance. Many thanks, King Panda. All the best!

I like your thought process in purchasing the Okavango. I have same thoughts why I love Okavango, trust that Geely will prove itself, and invest in the idea that they choose not to fail. Our only difference, wala pa akong pambili. Good review sir!

Loved the casual and genuine approach of this review, parang nagkwe-kwentuhan lang. Thank you King Panda!

Have the same dilemma few years back until got a chance to test drive coolray and the rest is history going 2 years na my unit and still no problem at all. Can still feel the excitement everytime a turn the engine on . Everyday feels brandnew .

not just a car review but a revelations about car quality from a legit car enthusiast great job sir😎

This video made me rethink and considering Okavango as my first car!

Awesome review! I don't comment most of the time on reviews, but couldn't help myself because you did a great job explaining and providing additional context to the Okavango. Most of my negative thoughts and hestitations were cleared up when you explained Geely as a new player and the problems about the after market sales. I was impressed with the features since I was able to test drive a unit in Alabang, but had a lot of hesitation with it being a Chinese brand -- good point that most, if not all products are now made in China. Looking forward to your 5k review and feedback sir! Thank you! Subscribed already!

Been watching this video multiple times already for the past year until i decided to get the Okavango just this month. This car is like no other for its price!

This vlog strengthen our decision to go with Geely Okavanggo. We now have our own “Oka” going 3 weeks now. It truly is premium quality at a smart price. Thank you sir.

proud owner here😊 love our Okavango so much!

Kudos to your great vlog! What I liked about this video is how you've done your research and the "on the spot" / "on your face" experience. Car enthusiasts and first time owners will truly learn a ton here. Now, I am considering to have Geely Okavango my next vehicle. I enjoyed learning a lot about Geely and your views about cars in general and your criteria for a "great and value to your money" car. It would be interesting if you can also review cars from SsangYong, especially the latest and high-end version of the model Rexton. They said, this one look and feels "luxurious" yet friendly in price. Thank you very much! :)

I agree with your idea of giving them a chance to prove their product. I have a china made truck (8tons capacity) for 7 years na and it still works well with proper maintenance from their casa and now has available parts from selected local spare-parts dealers. More than 200,000 km na ang takbo.

New subber. Growing up family had went through different cars starting in 97 with a v6 camry, then switched to a sienna. when i got out of the nest family ditched the sienna, mom had a rav4, dad had an m3, sister had a mazda 6 , my first personal car was a gold mk3. now with a family of my own and moving to the PI i went with toyota cuz of the reliability. 16 avanza. ride was rough as usually the car just had me and my wife. switched recently to 21 vios and now with a 1 yo baby. if we get another baby it would be fine as the seats in the back would fit 2 child seats. but lo and behold twins are on the way and the compact sedan became way too small and personally i want to get a toyota cleanse. your detailed review if u call it that, is so informative and entertaining and i just wanted to let you know that your vid is greatly appreciated.

one of the best review for okavango, would definitely get one for our 2nd car

Super comfortable and smooth to drive, value for money and luxury feel no regret on getting one.

Nice review King Panda. Got our Okavango one month ago. We have considered other options/brands but we have no regrets choosing Okavango. Til now gandang ganda ako sa kanya at naaamaze pa din sa mga features nya.

Hi sir KP (king panda). Honestly I enjoyed watching your blog. I dont usually watching a blog from top to bottom. But you took me. Ang sarap mong mag explain, mag kwento and everything. Salute to you sir. I found the right car for us, pera na lang ang kulang. Hehehehehe. Thank you for a wonderful review of Geely Okavango. God bless sir and keep safe.

great review and great talking points! Geely is really a car brand to watch out for. Their strategy and approach to "wow" the customer with features and amenities is really putting other established brands on their toes. IMHO, because of them, other brands suddenly put 360 cam view on their vehicles :)

subscribed. nice review boss! we also considered innova when were still looking for 7seaters until we saw this beauty in caco's review and remembered their coolray which is also a great car, then eventually we bought okavango and still amazed by its features haha, more power to you KP!

this is by far the best review i have seen for PH reviewers

My dream car is Cadillac but my budget right now is for Geely Okavango, so this is a yes for me.

sound argument and have to agree on most of the points mentioned. however, driving the same brand i noticed that the car is a bit of a gas guzzler and the auto hold feature has a mechanical issue that the manufacturer need to address. i also noticed that the doors needs a good amount of clearance space. pag dikitan sa parking pede mahirapan ka lumabas or hindi ka na makalabas totally which i exprerienced in a number of instances.

Value for money with Volvo’s technology...well done Geely. Great review as usual King!

First off... THANK YOU!!!! I've been shopping for a new car and had the Okavango in mind but was quite hesitant given that I am not aware of the brand. I've been corresponding with a Geely dealership which I sincerely hope your cuz, Hatold owns. 😊 I'm going to test drive soon and hopefully be a proud owner of an Okavango in the new year. Thank you again, I super enjoyed this vid!!!

Ganito talaga tunay na review Yun bang hindi lng details ng sasakyan or kalikot hahaha. peru may awakening ba para sa mga car buyer . Salute to you sir

Impressive video, i appreciate your feedbacks throughout the review, to be honest with you this is not a review rather this is a feedback coming from a geely owner, continue to make quality videos KP 👍

Really liked your explanation on the driving modes: Eco - Mabait Comfort - "...hey" Sport - Nagising! Laban tayo! Awesome! 🤣 Scheduled for a test drive on the 28th 🙂

This video convinced me to get the Okavango. Very satisfied with it.

King Panda.. because of this video.. I test drove twice and guess what - going to buy soon!!! Great review!!! Thank you!!!

Great review from an enthusiast. Looking forward to the long term review on this vehicle, and somehow change the mindset on Chinese brand vehicles.

Love your reviews KP! Always keepin it real, with sincerity and unbiased. I've been very intrigued about this particular car brand. Please do a follow up review after few months of ownership. Be well!

That is the shortest 53 minutes review I have seen. Very nice review format sir. It's just like talking to somebody who's knowledgeable about the car but he's not trying to sell it to you. It opened up my mind about the Geely brand.

It was in a critical timing that I chanced upon your review for we were literally about to purchase our new family vehicle.. At first, I was hesitant to click your video seeing that it was 53min long.. i told myself, “what is it about Geely Okavango that’s worth talking for almost an hour?” Just to satisfy my curiosity, I went ahead and watched it, and that choice to listen to your review made a great impact to our decision to place our bet on this vehicle! Your review was honest and enlightening. It got me ecstatic to also be part of that movement to give this budding brand a chance to prove itself in the PH market. Up until April 2, my wife and I were decided to also go for Innova upon recently comparing it to Expander Cross. It was a battle between the 2 brands we have always been used to, but there was always that lingering feeling that we hope to get more value for our money. Innova was the top choice because It served our need for durability and cabin space, however, it lacks the technology that the later has. Okavango, surprisingly has both and more, and offered at a reasonable price! Your feedback gave us the confidence that yes, we should not be trapped in stereotyping the China-made, because we have always been patronizing them anyway. We went to a nearby Geely branch and we were able to test drive the Okavango Urban..we were blown away! Your review was on point! One has to really experience it to understand it! Processing na kme ng docs today, hopefully anytime within this week makuha na nmen si OKa✨thank you again King Panda and Team Luxury Cars Manila! More power💪🏼

Thanks for your real life like reviews that provide a good leverage for those who intend to own the same in the future.

"They Have Something to Prove" great wisdom words

The geely Coolray car is the best sport c-suv I’ve ever seen with it nice body frame and structure…Keep doing more like this geely and in no time the doubts of others about this car would be zero trust me….

Àng ganda ng sasakyan na ito good 👍 day God bless you all

The automotive industry had leveled up the past few years, due to increased technology and globalization. That’s why most new brands catch up really fast with the leading brands. So wala na yung dating advantage ng mga leading brands which they had in the past. When you buy these new brands, you get your money’s worth.

Dang! Tinapos ko yung video kahit almost 1hour. My wife wants an Okavango and I want to wait for the facelift Expander but after marinig lahat perspective ni King Panda mukang mag GGeely Okavango nalang talaga kami. Thank you, Sir! 👏😊

Sa sobrang feel good ng review ni sir KP, matik subscribe agad at no skip ads. Mukhang mag binge watch ako sa channel mo sir, looking forward to getting my first car--an Okavango. ❤🙏

Best review kay okavango sobrang detailed vs sa mga other people na napanuod. Dito q lang nakita ung sa seatbelt na di aandar pag di suot and other features na di nabanggit ng mga ibang nag review

Contrary to popular belief, tech and other facade features aren't Geely's best feature. It's actually the engine & transmission. Coolray owner here.

Thanks for your passionate and strongly opinionated review. I enjoyed it and helped cement my buying decision.

'Watched some car reviews from other car experts but this review is the best among those videos... Clear and no bias in this video. Good job, sir!

I like how you believed in its technology and you as a car guy who has driven a lambo, range rover etc. and you purchased this car because you were blown away and so im also gonna trust you with it cause im purchasing it!

Amazing amazing amazing content sir! Very informative! Well explained! Not just for Geely owners but in general for car enthusiast! King Panda you are so amazing! More videos to come with bikes and cars! Have a good one! Keep safe!

Thank you King Panda for promising to do a long-term review of the Okavango :) A long-term ownership review is the most authentic assessment of a vehicle. God bless!

Best review so far that I had watched. Totally convinced of the points discussed. Hope to see more reviews from this channel. Subscribed right away.

Philippines should invent our own brand of cars, hope someday there will be a filipino will do the innovation. I loved all your YT review king Panda.

From all the reviews I watched, Geely and MG gave that premium feel on their cars but a bang for the buck. Okavango and ZS piqued my desire the most!

Just subscribed to your channel. Great review, I'm aiming for the urban variant. Hopefully soon hehhehe more power!

Eto na ata pinakamahabang napanood kong video nitong 2021. Pero sulit sa review eh, detailed ang experience sa sasakyan. More power KING PANDA!

Sarap po makinig sa story-telling. Didn't even notice the time. Maraming salamat sa wisdom and advice since I've been looking into this car for some time already.

This video definitely made up my mind to stick with my gut to get an okavango. Thanks King Panda 👍

Now my mind is already decided on what car to buy since I want to change my old SUV, I had doubts in geely brand but since you bought it King I am now decided. Thank you for this overall review king panda! more power!

thank you for sharing and honest reviewed Geely Okavango, actually i am planning to buy this car ..now i am fully satisfied ...thanks

Eto isa sa pinag iisipan ko na kunin after i im done paying my mazda 3 sedan. 7 seater vehicle is my next car at okavango is one of my option.

It's so nice safety feature, i like it ♥️♥️

Very nice review sir, I've learned a lot from you. especially with the seat belt portion. btw, Sir, Can you do an AZKARRA review? It is very much appreciated, just wanna know your personal input with Azkarra Luxury. Thanks & more power to you.

Ordered the car a few days ago and after watching this I’m now certain I made the right decision. 👍

Great review. Chill but not boring and very substantial content. Found myself smiling at the end of video cus of marites and marife. Lol

Thanks for doing this review! I think you help us with our decision on which car we need to buy as our 2nd vehicle.Currently we are using Innova and we bought it since 2009 and it is still perfectly working well until this time. Hoping that Geely Okavango will be just the same with regards to longevity. But the way you explain the features of Okavango , I hope it will give same length of usage as Innova. Salamuch!

Great review! Own an Okavango as well. Tempting 20” rims. Hehe, where to get it at the best price possible? 😊💯💯💯

Best review ever i felt in love of the review i hope malapit na yong 5k 10k 20k review i have been watching this in fb and i saw its nice to see meron pla RU-vid while i work at home i keep watching all you video i love the intro its so awesome, you have the best review thats all i can say thank you i hope you keep doing this none stop

goodjob sir napakagaling mo maghost and mag explain 1st view ko tong video mo then after sunod sunod ko n pinanyod yung mga video sa channel mo..nakaka alis ng stress and hind nkakaboring manuod sa channel.

feature wise geely has almost have it all my only question is durability will it last as a honda or toyota?

Hi Sir KP, really love your honest review, kasi yung ibang channel masyado sila bias kaya keep it up :)) Honestly mas prefer ko Okavango over the Innova kahit Toyota sila.

What an amazing review...now I know the history of geely company...my wife like this car the Okavango very much...she really likes to have one...thank you

Geely and MG is the game changer. In terms of features, quality and luxurious looks. Now the luxury is more affordable.

hahaha subscribed na ako idol ang gaganda ng mga content mo balang araw makabili rin ako isa sa mga car na review mo

You do it, King. I’m a first timer on your channel and I subscribed so willingly, so instantly. So now I am at a tipping point for Okavango. Probably visit Geely this week and I hope equally their showroom guys will provide the same honest info as cool as you do.

We live in the same village. LOL. Im going to test drive an Okavango this week and in the course of my research, I came across your video. Good job! Thanks!

Wow! This car is great! Namangha ako sa 3D effect and sa mga functions. The beast! ❤️❤️❤️

Love your review sir. Honest review. Ito na nga talaga para sa amin. Been watching oka reviews for months ,yours hits different.

I love the talk about the made in China part. Finally someone explaining that every product we purchase is made in China. Kudos to you sir! Relate ako and I completely understand and agree because I own and sell products too na all are made in China. Great video! Gusto ko tuloy magkaroon din! :D

The Geelys we have here right now are basically affordable Volvos. Geely really made a smart investment in buying them. Hoping Geely PH will bring more models like the Emgrand GS which will be more affordable than the Coolray. From what I've heard so far maganda ang reputation ng Geely, like the Coolray na more than 2 years na in the Philippine market walang major issues while its main competitor, the Ford Territory, had a recall this year.

I see a lot of people shitting on Geely with illogical reasons but I think I'll trust you on this one bc you make so much sense
