On April 20, Geely Auto officially opened pre-sales for the Geely Monjaro i-HEV Smart Hybrid, launching a total of three variants. As the first hybrid SUV based on Geely's CMA platform, the Geely Monjaro i-HEV stands out with five core strengths: Eastern-inspired design, class-above luxury features, globally leading powertrain, full-scenario intelligent driving, and a sport-tuned chassis. It directly addresses the common pain point of "high price but low configuration" found in some Japanese hybrid models, redefining the value benchmark in the RMB 150,000 hybrid SUV segment.
Exterior Design
A Fusion of Eastern Aesthetics and Sporty DNA
The Geely Monjaro i-HEV continues the 2026 Monjaro"Oriental Radiance" design language, centered around the signature "Silk Road Peaks" front grille. Paired with smoked LED headlights and a full-length character line, it creates a sleek yet powerful stance. The dual exhaust layout (dual on both sides) and 19-inch wheels enhance its sporty character, while the floating roof design and hidden door handles add a modern, tech-forward touch. With a drag coefficient as low as 0.32Cd, the vehicle achieves a balance between aesthetics and efficiency.
Interior & Features
Luxury Experience Fully Elevated
The Geely Monjaro i-HEV interior is centered around "tech-driven luxury," offering a new Yadan Orange color scheme, complemented by a crystal gear selector, a 25.6-inch AR-HUD, a 12.3-inch full digital instrument cluster, and dual 14.6-inch high-definition central and passenger displays, forming a four-screen interactive ecosystem. All variants come standard with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, supporting 5G connectivity and the Flyme Auto intelligent cockpit system, delivering industry-leading smoothness and expandability.
In terms of comfort, the driver's seat features headrest speakers, 12-way power adjustment, 8-point massage, and ventilation/heating functions. The front passenger benefits from a "Queen's seat" with 8-way adjustment, three-level 8-point massage, and a 100 mm electric leg rest. The rear seats support 30°–40° stepless electric recline and heating, offering space comparable to mid-size SUVs. Additional highlights include a 16-speaker Flyme Sound premium audio system, fragrance system, and 50W wireless charging, delivering a luxury experience comparable to vehicles in the RMB 300,000 segment.
Power performance
Industry-Leading Efficiency + 230 kW High-Performance E-Motor
The Geely Monjaro i-HEV adopts a P1 + P3 hybrid architecture, combining a 1.5TD dedicated hybrid engine-with a thermal efficiency of 48.41% (the highest among mass-produced engines globally)-and an 11-in-1 hybrid electric motor delivering a maximum output of 230 kW. The overall system output is 1.72 times higher than comparable Japanese hybrid systems.
Paired with a 3-speed DHT Pro transmission, it accelerates from 0–30 km/h in just 1.84 seconds, about 18% faster than traditional Japanese hybrids, with a power response time as low as 10 milliseconds, delivering near-instant acceleration with minimal lag.
In terms of fuel efficiency, it achieves a WLTC combined fuel consumption of 4.79 L/100 km, with a total driving range exceeding 1,200 km on a full tank, eliminating the need for charging and effectively removing range anxiety.
The Xingrui AI Cloud Power 2.0 large model dynamically optimizes energy management by analyzing real-time road conditions and temperature, improving overall energy efficiency by over 10%.
Intelligent Driving
L2-Level Full-Scenario Coverage
The Geely Monjaro i-HEV comes standard with the Qianli Haohan H3 driver assistance system, delivering 128 TOPS of computing power. It supports Highway NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) functions such as automatic ramp entry/exit and large vehicle avoidance, along with intelligent parking (covering parallel, angled, and perpendicular spaces) and a 540° panoramic camera system.
Its intelligent driving system is capable of handling traffic congestion, highways, and curved roads, offering safety and convenience that surpass comparable Japanese models in the same segment.
Chassis & Handling
Built on the CMA platform, the Geely Monjaro i-HEV is equipped with a CCD variable damping suspension, improving ride smoothness by 33% while balancing comfort and sportiness. On rough roads, it effectively absorbs vibrations with precision, while maintaining strong body support during high-speed lane changes. Combined with accurate steering tuning, it delivers a "man-machine unity" driving experience.
The Geely Monjaro i-HEV delivers RMB 300,000-level features at a RMB 150,000 price point, comprehensively outperforming comparable Japanese models in terms of power, fuel efficiency, intelligence, and comfort, making it a true "dimension-reduction" value proposition. For family users seeking fuel efficiency without compromising performance, and intelligent features without sacrificing experience, the Geely Monjaro i-HEV is undoubtedly one of the best solutions in today's hybrid SUV market.
