Geely Monjaro Arrives in the UAE With 245 hp, CCD Suspension and a Lie-Flat Passenger Seat

Abu Dhabi: Looking for a midsize SUV that mixes comfort with strong turbo power? AGMC, Geely's official UAE distributor, has launched the updated 2026 Geely Monjaro across its showrooms. It brings a 245 hp turbo engine, CCD adaptive suspension and upgraded cabin technology. In this guide, we are going to cover the performance, comfort, tech and safety features. 

We will also look at where the Monjaro fits in the UAE market.

Meet the Updated Monjaro: What Is New

The updated Geely Monjaro targets UAE families who want premium comfort and advanced technology without moving into the European luxury SUV segment. It continues to use the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA), developed by Geely and Volvo. The Monjaro pairs a turbocharged petrol engine with comfort and safety features usually found in more expensive SUVs. 

Here are the main highlights.

• 245 hp turbocharged petrol engine
• CCD adaptive suspension
• Upgraded cabin technology
• 6-year or 150,000-km warranty from AGMC, which adds to its appeal for owners

Power and Poise: Engine and 4WD

The Monjaro uses a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. A BorgWarner intelligent 4WD system sends power to the axles based on traction needs. Geely quotes a 0 to 100 km/h time of 7.6 seconds.

CCD Suspension: A Smoother Ride, Explained

The updated Monjaro uses CCD adaptive suspension. Geely says it monitors road conditions and adjusts damping every 20 milliseconds. The brand also claims a 33% improvement in ride smoothness.

Screens, Sound and Smart Tech

The cabin pairs a 15.4-inch central touchscreen with a 12.3-inch digital cluster and a 25.6-inch head-up display. The displays provide access to vehicle functions and essential driving information. A 16-speaker FLYME SOUND system, including driver-headrest speakers, handles audio. The infotainment supports wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus an integrated app store. Four-zone voice recognition lets occupants control supported functions.

Safety Net: ADAS and Cameras

The Monjaro offers a Level 2 advanced driver assistance system with 12 active functions. Its camera setup also helps in tight spots.

• Automatic emergency braking with forward and rear collision warnings
• Rear cross-traffic alert and door-opening warning
• 540-degree camera system with an underbody view for parking
• Reinforced rear seatbacks with steel-plate anti-penetration protection

Where It Fits in the UAE Market

The Monjaro enters a competitive midsize SUV segment that includes the BYD Song Plus, currently advertised from AED 125,900. The BYD offers plug-in hybrid technology. The Geely focuses on turbo petrol performance, 4WD and cabin comfort. If you are also weighing more practical, work-focused vehicles, our look at the Nissan Navara Pro may help.

Resale value matters too. AGMC's authorised service network and warranty offer aftersales support. Long-term depreciation will still depend on demand, mileage, maintenance history and condition.

Our Take: A Comfort-First Midsize SUV

On paper, the Monjaro combines 245 hp, adaptive suspension and a feature-rich cabin in a package aimed at families. The launch report does not list a price. Please confirm trims and pricing with AGMC. Compare equipment, fuel costs and warranty with similarly priced rivals before you decide.
