Geely Monjaro EM-i Launches in Egypt for Global Rollout

Geely Monjaro EM-i Begins Global Rollout in Egypt

On August 30, Geely launched the Monjaro EM-i in Egypt, marking the beginning of the global rollout for its first D-segment hybrid SUV. The launch positions Geely to expand the hybrid model beyond its initial market, with the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, and Kazakhstan scheduled to follow. The automaker also plans to expand the vehicle into European markets after these launches. The model combines a dedicated hybrid powertrain with Geely’s global intelligent new-energy architecture, establishing the vehicle as an important part of the company’s international hybrid SUV strategy.

Three Versions Cover Front- and All-Wheel Drive

The SUV is offered in three versions designed around different drivetrain configurations. The Pro and Max versions use front-wheel drive, while the Ultra version is equipped with all-wheel drive. This lineup gives the vehicle distinct configuration choices within the same D-segment hybrid SUV range. The three-version structure also allows the model to address different market requirements as it enters additional countries. The launch in Egypt represents the first step in this international expansion, before the vehicle moves into other markets identified for the next stages of its rollout.

Hybrid Powertrain and Global Vehicle Architecture

The vehicle is based on GEA Evo global intelligent new-energy flagship architecture and uses a 1.5TD dedicated hybrid engine. This combination forms the core of its hybrid vehicle configuration as the model enters international markets. The SUV measures 4.8 meters in length and has a 2,845 mm wheelbase, giving it dimensions suited to the D-segment category. Its powertrain and architecture are intended for the model’s global positioning, while the availability of both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions provides different drivetrain configurations for markets such as the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, Kazakhstan, and Europe.

CCD Suspension System Adds Chassis Technology

The hybrid SUV also features a Continuous Damping Control (CCD) Suspension System. The technology is part of the vehicle’s chassis specification and is designed to provide electronically controlled damping behavior. Alongside the dedicated hybrid engine, GEA Evo architecture, and available all-wheel-drive configuration, the CCD Suspension System forms part of the vehicle’s broader technical package. With its initial Egyptian launch completed, the model is now positioned for further international introductions across the UAE, Mexico, and Kazakhstan before Geely expands the vehicle into European markets.
