Geely Auto will add the Monjaro EM-i plug-in hybrid SUV to its UK offering, with the model making its European launch in Paris on 12 October. The new powertrain combines electric and petrol drive, giving dealers a low-emission SUV to meet growing demand.

Key takeaways

  • Geely Auto introduces the Monjaro EM-i plug-in hybrid SUV to the UK market.
  • The model debuts in Paris on 12 October before UK release.
  • The plug-in hybrid pairs an electric motor with a small petrol engine for flexibility.
  • It expands Geely’s SUV portfolio, targeting low-emission buyers.
  • Dealers gain a new product to broaden their green-vehicle stock.

Monjaro EM-i specifications

The Monjaro EM-i is built on the same platform as Geely’s existing Monjaro SUV but adds a plug‑in hybrid drivetrain. An electric motor works alongside a compact gasoline engine, allowing electric‑only travel for short trips and combined power for longer journeys.

This configuration aims to deliver the practicality and space of a midsize SUV while reducing fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions, fitting the UK market’s push for greener vehicles.

Market positioning

Plug‑in hybrids are gaining traction among UK consumers who want lower running costs without the range anxiety of fully electric models. By introducing the Monjaro EM-i, Geely seeks to capture this segment and compete with other manufacturers offering similar low‑emission SUVs.

For dealers, the new model provides an additional product to attract environmentally conscious buyers, potentially increasing showroom footfall and broadening the range of finance and incentive options available.

What this means for dealers

Dealers can expect the Monjaro EM-i to complement existing SUV stock, offering a greener alternative that aligns with UK emission targets. The model’s hybrid nature may qualify for certain government incentives, making it an attractive proposition for both private buyers and fleet customers.

Preparing sales teams with information on electric range, charging options, and cost savings will be essential to maximise the vehicle’s appeal and conversion rates.

Frequently asked questions

When will the Monjaro EM-i be available for order in the UK?

Dealers will be able to place orders once the model is officially launched in the UK, following the 12 October Paris debut. Exact ordering windows and delivery timelines will be communicated by Geely’s UK sales team as the launch date approaches.

How does the Monjaro EM-i differ from the conventional Monjaro SUV?

The EM‑i version adds a plug‑in hybrid powertrain, enabling electric‑only driving for short journeys and reduced emissions, while retaining the same SUV dimensions, interior space and overall design as the standard Monjaro model.
