Geely’s burgeoning UK line-up is continuing to grow following the unveiling of a new large family SUV that will slot in at the head of its range, the Geely Monjaro EM-i.

Sitting above the electric Geely EX5 and PHEV Geely Starray EM-i SUVs, the Monjaro EM-i also comes hot on the heels of the economical Geely EX2 electric city car to increase its offerings in the UK to four models in little more than 12 months.

At 4.8m in length, the Monjaro EM-i therefore has the likes of the Skoda Kodiaq and Peugeot 5008 in its crosshairs as Geely looks to make a dent in the popular large family SUV market with a promise of expansive space and frugal-minded technology.

Moreover, the Monjaro EM-i is all-wheel drive with genuine off-road ability for those who enjoy family adventures off the beaten track, a feature that is assisted further by its Pure, Hybrid, Power and Snow driving modes.
