AGMC, Geely’s distributor in the UAE, is taking orders for a plug-in hybrid Monjaro. Three local reports this week put the opening price at AED 130,900. Geely’s own UAE website confirms a launch offer for the Monjaro EM-i, including an eight-year battery warranty, but the offer page does not print those dirham figures. This is a plug-in hybrid: a petrol engine plus a battery you can charge. It is not a battery-only SUV.
The sticker the reports share
DubiCars (30 October), Cars24 (30 October) and ArabWheels (28 October) list the same four steps. The MAX, front-wheel drive, is AED 130,900. The ULTRA, all-wheel drive, is AED 146,900. ULTRA Plus, also all-wheel drive, is AED 148,900. The top step is AED 149,900. DubiCars calls that car ULTRA Plus SE. Cars24 and ArabWheels call it a Special Edition. The price matches; the badge name does not, so it is worth checking the order form before assuming the two labels are different cars.
DubiCars also says the plug-in sits about AED 7,000 above a petrol Monjaro that starts near AED 124,000. That petrol comparison appears in DubiCars only, so treat it as one outlet’s reading, not a figure copied from Geely’s offer page.
Cars24 still describes the launch as pre-orders. DubiCars says the car is on sale and that AGMC has opened enquiries. ArabWheels says buyers can order now. None of the three, and not the Geely UAE offer page, gives a first-customer handover date.
Range and power, without mixing test cycles
On the all-wheel-drive car, the same three reports quote up to 330 hp and 667 Nm, a claimed 0–100 km/h in 5.83 seconds, and a three-speed hybrid transmission. Cars24 and ArabWheels pair that output with a 29.8 kWh battery, up to 116 km of electric driving and up to 922 km combined, both on WLTP. DubiCars attaches those same WLTP headlines to the all-wheel-drive version. It also prints a separate NEDC table, with electric range of 92 km (front-wheel drive) and 130 km (all-wheel drive). Those NEDC numbers are not the WLTP numbers. Quoting 130 km and 116 km as if they were one test is how a plug-in range claim gets inflated.
DubiCars is also the cautious one on the front-wheel-drive battery. It says an 18.4 kWh pack and 275 hp show up in other markets, and it does not present them as the UAE MAX specification. Cars24 and ArabWheels talk about 29.8 kWh without splitting front- and all-wheel drive. Until Geely UAE prints a trim-by-trim sheet, the 29.8 kWh / 116 km WLTP / 330 hp set is the all-wheel-drive claim the reports agree on, not a confirmed figure for every Monjaro EM-i in the showroom.
Charging is similarly split. Cars24 and ArabWheels say a fast charge can take the pack from 30 to 80 percent in about 15 minutes. DubiCars instead cites up to 78 kW DC on the all-wheel-drive car and 6.6 kW AC. The Geely UAE pages fetched for this story do not state a kilowatt peak or a 15-minute window, so those two descriptions should not be welded into one official spec. All three reports do agree on vehicle-to-load output of up to 6.6 kW.
The eye-catching economy line needs the same care. Cars24 and ArabWheels cite up to 41.7 km per litre. DubiCars explains that as a weighted 2.4 L/100 km on WLTP when the test starts with a charged battery, and it contrasts that with 5.4 L/100 km on NEDC once the battery is low. The 41.7 km/l figure is a laboratory blend that counts electricity from the plug. It is not the consumption to expect on a long motorway run after the battery is empty, and UAE air-conditioning will pull the electric kilometres down further. Geely’s petrol Monjaro page, for comparison, lists 8.8 L/100 km for the 2.0-litre.
What Geely UAE actually prints
Geely UAE’s Monjaro EM-i offer page lists free window tinting, up to AED 2,000 in trade-in support, five years of roadside assistance, one year of free service, a vehicle warranty of 6 years or 150,000 km, and 8 years or 200,000 km on the power battery, drive motor and motor controller. The lines are marked W.E.C.F., and the page says terms apply. That warranty block is the part of the launch a buyer can read on Geely’s own site today. The dirham ladder is not on it.
The main Monjaro page on the same site still describes a 2.0-litre turbo, an eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive. It quotes a 2,845 mm wheelbase, a 15.4-inch central screen, a 12.3-inch driver display and a 25.6-inch head-up display. The trade reports give the EM-i the same wheelbase and the same screens, plus a length of 4,800 mm, five seats, and a boot of 633 litres, or 2,183 litres with the rear seats folded. Use the product page for the body and the cabin hardware. Use the offer page, not that 2.0-litre copy, if the question is whether the car you are ordering is the plug-in.
Where it sits among plug-ins already listed
For buyers comparing plug-in family SUVs in the UAE, DubiCars puts a Toyota RAV4 plug-in from AED 154,900 to AED 169,900, above this Monjaro EM-i opening price. GetEVCar’s RAV4 plug-in card is the US car (87 km electric on that page), not a dirham price list. Geely already has another plug-in on the site, the Starray EM-i, whose card shows 82 km of electric range. That is a different model from the Monjaro. Both sit in the SUV group, and the wider plug-in hybrid catalogue is the place to line them up by battery range rather than by a weighted fuel number.
DubiCars also names a BYD Song Plus, an EXEED RX plug-in and a Chery Tiggo 9 among UAE rivals. Those price bands are from that one article. They are useful context, not a second independent price check, and they are not repeated here as settled stickers.
