en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's Geely Monjaro L i-HEV hybrid model, without the need for external charging, aims to retain the refueling habits of fuel vehicles while providing a driving experience close to that of an electric drive. The model is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T engine, a 238-horsepower electric motor, and a 1-speed DHT transmission. The official WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 4.75L.

In actual driving, the electric motor of this system handles the main power output in low-speed, high-load scenarios. The timing of engine intervention is finely controlled, and the power switching and connection logic are tight. Overall smoothness is the core advantage of this model. The steering system adopts a lighter tuning, making it easy to operate at low speeds, while the damping increases with speed during high-speed cruising, ensuring good body stability. The chassis continues the series' consistent solid performance, with a curb weight of approximately 1.7 tons. The suspension filters vibrations decisively, provides ample lateral support, and the tuning style balances comfort and resilience.

As a hybrid electric vehicle, the Monjaro L i-HEV can only be registered with a blue license plate in cities with license plate restrictions, requiring a fuel vehicle quota. This model is suitable for users with long daily commutes, inconvenient charging, or frequent highway driving. In terms of energy consumption, the gap between this model and a pure electric vehicle with a charging price of 1.5 yuan/kWh is relatively small in highway scenarios.
