- Power: 313 hp
- Thermal efficiency: 48.41%
- Fuel consumption: 4.75 l/100 km, WLTC
- New Monjaro details: golden metallic body color and silver-gray wheels
- Cabin: orange trim, two large screens, and available head-up display, seat heating, ventilation, massage, plus rear seat backrest adjustment in higher trims
Geely says the same hybrid system will later spread to the Emgrand and Atlas, which is the real tell here. The company is not treating this as a halo experiment; it is building a powertrain it can reuse across the lineup, the way Chinese automakers increasingly do when they want faster scale and fewer wasted engineering miles.
What the Geely Monjaro hybrid is aiming at
The pitch is simple: more efficiency, less fuel, and no obvious penalty in daily usability. That makes sense in a segment where plug-in hybrids and extended-range models have been stealing attention, while traditional hybrids are quietly trying to look like the sensible middle ground.
The question now is whether Geely can turn the spec sheet into a convincing real-world advantage. If the claimed efficiency and consumption figures hold up outside the test cycle, the Monjaro could become one of those cars that wins not with drama, but with the irritatingly persuasive logic of lower fuel bills.
Geely has rolled out a new hybrid system called i-HEV Intelligent Dual-Engine, and the first cars to get it are the Preface and Monjaro. For the Geely Monjaro hybrid, the headline number is not the styling or the screen count, but the engine efficiency: Geely says the new combustion unit reaches 48.41% thermal efficiency, a figure it presents as the best among mass-produced engines.
For Monjaro buyers, the promise is a 313 hp powertrain with a WLTC fuel consumption figure of 4.75 l/100 km. Preface gets the same hybrid architecture and a lower claimed consumption of 3.98 l/100 km, which is the kind of number automakers love to put on brochures and rivals love to quietly benchmark.
Visually, the hybrid Monjaro does not try very hard to look like a science project. The changes are limited to a golden metallic paint option and new silver-gray wheels, while the cabin gets orange trim and two large displays in a layout that clearly takes a few cues from Li Auto.
