GEELY MONJARO HITS MEXICO AT JUST $28,500 – CAN THIS CHINESE PREMIUM SUV OUTSELL ITS RENAULT TWIN?

Published on

July 19, 2025 (Mexico City/Panama City) — Geely made coordinated moves across Latin America today, deploying its Monjaro premium SUV as both markets show explosive growth:

TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Powertrain: 235HP 2.0T + 8AT AWD (7 drive modes)
  • Digital Cockpit: Triple 12.3″ Infinity Screen w/ Snapdragon 8155
  • Comfort: 8-way massaging seats + 4-way lumbar support

KEY LUXURY DIFFERENTIATORS

  • Adaptive air suspension (segment first at this price)
  • Theater-grade acoustics with private driver audio zone
  • 540° camera system + L2 autonomous driving

PRICING

Approximately 30% below comparable Audi Q5/BMW X3 configurations in Mexico.

“Monjaro crystallizes our engineering philosophy – luxury and technology accessible to emerging markets,” said Geely Mexico MD Wu Hongwei during the dual-country premiere.


EDITOR’S NOTE:

Geely’s Monjaro makes German luxury look overpriced overnight down there. I expect Geely to accelerate premium model exports globally.
