Geely Auto will show the Monjaro EM-i in Europe for the first time at the Paris Motor Show on October 12, 2026. The company describes it as its first global plug-in hybrid SUV in the D-segment. The model also takes Geely Auto UK into the D-SUV segment, adding to the brand’s growing British lineup. According to the company, the Monjaro EM-i pairs hybrid technology and long-range capability with a premium SUV package aimed at efficiency, comfort and practicality.

What Platform Is the Geely Monjaro EM-i Built On?
The Monjaro EM-i rides on Geely’s GEA-Evo architecture. Geely says the platform was developed from the ground up for new energy vehicles. The company cites flexible use of space, compatibility with multiple energy types and comprehensive safety as its main attributes.
The architecture includes Geely’s new GEEA 3.0 electrical/electronic (E/E) architecture, which the company says improves the intelligent driving experience. Geely credits the native platform layout for the SUV’s interior space.
EM-i Super Hybrid System
Power comes from Geely’s EM-i Super Hybrid system. The company says it balances strong performance with low energy use. The same EM-i branding appears on other Geely plug-in hybrids, including the Geely EX5 EM-i hybrid SUV.
Geely says the Monjaro name comes from Africa’s highest mountain. The company pairs the name with the tagline “Peak Within. Drive Beyond.”
Geely’s Paris Motor Show Lineup
The Monjaro EM-i will be the centerpiece of the Geely Auto stand. Three other electrified models will join it:
- Geely EX2: a compact battery-electric model aimed at urban driving
- Geely EX5: a battery-electric SUV focused on connectivity and everyday versatility
- Geely Starray EM-i: a plug-in hybrid SUV that combines electric driving with the flexibility needed for longer trips
According to the company, the four models together show its multi-energy strategy, which spans compact urban EVs, premium SUVs and next-generation hybrids.
