Sojitz G Auto Philippines is bringing in a “Wonderfully Distinct” vehicle that will make its mark in pioneering a segment in the Philippine automotive industry, a 7-seater crossover – the Geely Okavango.

The name Okavango was derived from the North-western Botswana’s vast inland delta, Okavango Delta. In 2014, UNESCO has recognized the Okavango Delta as its 1,000th World Heritage Site. It was also declared as one of the  7  Natural Wonders of Africa.

The GeelyOkavango is the coming together of the best features of an SUV and an MPV into a single 7-seater crossover. SGAP President & CEO Mikihisa Takayama said, “The Okavango is definitely a game changer for both the SUV and MPV segments – exquisite and well thought-off in terms of design, space, and technology.”

“We are definitely giving our customers a luxurious, uncompromising, and “Wonderfully Distinct” ride”, Takayama added. The Geely Okavango will set it apart from current models in these segments as it will boast of the following features:

It also has a Dual Variable-Valve Timing (DVVT) for a perfect balance of power optimization and fuel efficiency.
