Even before the Monjaro EM-i is officially launched in the Philippines, it has already been put through one of the most demanding driving environments in the world.

In Egypt, the Monjaro EM-i set a new Guinness World Record title in September for the “Fastest crossing of Egypt’s Black and White Deserts in the Sahara by a plug-in hybrid-powered production SUV”. It completed a continuous 188.6 kilometers route from the Black Desert to the White Desert in extreme heat and challenging terrain.

The drive was not just about covering distance. The Monjaro EM-i was subjected to five professional capability challenges covering extreme handling and stability, repeated steep-slope climbs, cross-axle recovery, rough-terrain ride comfort, and acceleration at a low state of charge.

At the heart of the vehicle is Geely’s EM-i Super Hybrid system, paired with an intelligent electric AWD system designed to continuously adapt torque distribution according to road conditions. The Monjaro EM-i also features Continuous Damping Control suspension and an intelligent power-management system designed to maintain responsive performance even under demanding conditions.

Following its global rollout, the Monjaro EM-i is now preparing for its next chapter in the Philippines, where Geely Motor Philippines will introduce its new D-segment hybrid SUV to local consumers.

The Monjaro EM-i combines a 1.5-liter turbocharged hybrid-specific engine with electric drive, delivering up to 250 kW of system power and 667 Nm of torque. Its intelligent electric AWD system, advanced suspension, and hybrid power management are designed to balance performance, control, and comfort across different driving conditions.

The Geely Monjaro EM-i is set to be launched in the Philippines in late October 2026.
