Geely Philippines has already confirmed the new Monjaro’s arrival by next month. Recently, the plug-in hybrid SUV has received homologation papers from the Land Transportation Office, giving us more information about this upcoming model.
As a refresher, the specific variant coming to our shores is the Monjaro EM-i Luxury. It has a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and dual electric motors (comprised of a permanent-magnet synchronous motor and an induction motor) producing a combined output of 410hp and 723Nm of torque, delivering power to all four wheels.
