REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOShuaizhi Tian / PexelsOur verdict
7.8 / 10The Geely Monjaro is a well-rounded five-seat SUV that punches above its price bracket with standard AWD, a capable 238 hp 2.0T engine, comprehensive L2 ADAS, and a striking triple-screen interior across all trims. Positioned against Korean and Japanese rivals in the AED 124–139k range, it offers more standard technology than most, though brand familiarity and resale value remain considerations for UAE buyers.
Who it's for — Tech-forward buyers who want a feature-rich AWD SUV with premium cabin aesthetics at a mainstream price point, and are comfortable with a newer brand in the UAE market.
