Geely Names Its First Global D-Segment Hybrid SUV

According to Geely Automobile Holdings Limited (Geely Auto) on August 19, the company has officially named its first global D-segment hybrid SUV the Geely Monjaro EM-i. The Monjaro name draws inspiration from Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, representing a spirit of continuous ascent and pushing boundaries. The EM-i designation further emphasizes the vehicle’s hybrid technology. The naming announcement establishes the model as an important addition to Geely Auto’s overseas product strategy and positions the new SUV around electrified performance, advanced vehicle technology, comfort, intelligence, and safety.

GEA Evo Architecture and Intelligent Electric All-Wheel Drive

The Monjaro EM-i is built on Geely’s Global Intelligent New Energy Architecture (GEA) Evo, providing the foundation for its global hybrid vehicle development. It is the first Geely model for overseas markets to feature the e-AWD intelligent electric all-wheel-drive system, which delivers a millisecond-level response. The system is designed to support the SUV’s performance characteristics while contributing to its broader focus on driving capability and vehicle intelligence. Geely Auto describes the model as delivering flagship-level advances across performance, comfort, intelligence, and safety, reinforcing the role of its new energy architecture in overseas vehicle deployment.

Global Rollout Begins With Egypt

The global rollout of the new hybrid SUV is scheduled to begin at the end of August, with Egypt selected as the first market. The launch will then expand gradually to markets worldwide, giving Geely Auto a phased approach to introducing the vehicle outside its home market. The initial deployment in Egypt represents the starting point for the model’s international expansion, while subsequent market introductions are expected to extend its availability across global regions. The rollout also highlights Geely’s broader effort to bring advanced hybrid and intelligent electric technologies to overseas customers.
