Just arrived in Europe, Geely will add a fourth model to its lineup at the Paris Motor Show. The large SUV Monjaro EM-i is expected to offer impressive range in electric mode.

At 4.80 meters long, with a wheelbase of 2.85 meters and a width of 1.90 meters, the Geely Monjaro (a phonetic play on Mount Kilimandjaro) competes in the segment of large SUVs. This category is increasingly filled with Chinese models. It will compete in our market against the BYD Seal U, Chery Tiggo 8, and Omoda 9. On the European side, its main rivals will be the Peugeot 5008, Volkswagen Tayron, Skoda Kodiaq, and Renault Espace.

Geely’s latest model in Europe actually debuted in China in 2021. But it has been significantly upgraded with a completely new GEEA 3.0 infotainment system. Most importantly, it will come equipped with a rechargeable hybrid powertrain that is still unknown in China. Therefore, the detailed specifications of its engine remain undisclosed.

Nevertheless, various international websites affiliated with the manufacturer have leaked some information: up to 170 km of electric range (WLTP), a 28.9 kWh battery, a combined power output of 275 horsepower and 544 Nm of torque, along with a DC charging speed of 78 kW. It will be available in two- or four-wheel-drive configurations.

Although this remains to be confirmed, the price of the Monjaro will be close to that of its counterparts, and it can be estimated at between 45,000 and 50,000 euros.
