Geely Xingyue L: a crossover that's known as the Monjaro in Europe
The Geely Xingyue L is a mid-sized crossover that debuted in China in 2021 and is sold in export markets as the Geely Monjaro. We'll take a look at its engine, trims, and what you need to know before buying.
Xingyue L in brief
The Xingyue L is a five-door crossover, around 4.8 metres long, with a spacious interior and a large front grille. It's considered one of Geely's standout models aimed at the higher end of the market.
In export markets, the same car is sold as the Geely Monjaro, so the tech and trims for these models are similar. The Monjaro started hitting European roads in 2023-2024.
Trims – what's the difference?
The first trim appeared in 2021. Later, hybrid versions were introduced, and the trim levels vary: base trims come with fewer driver-assistance systems, while higher trims offer larger screens, better sound systems, and more comfort features.
When choosing a car, it's important to know which market it's intended for: the Chinese Xingyue L and the European Monjaro can differ in software, language, and some features.
Engines and transmissions
The most common engine is a 2.0-litre turbo petrol unit, producing around 238 hp (175 kW). It's paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and all-wheel drive is often offered.
There are also hybrid versions with electric motors, which offer lower fuel consumption. Exact figures depend on the trim and year.
What to check when buying a Xingyue L
Check whether the car is intended for the European market (Monjaro) or the Chinese market (Xingyue L). Chinese versions in Lithuania need to be registered as individual imports and may have Chinese software and language settings.
Test the gearbox, all-wheel drive, and turbo engine performance. For hybrids, request a battery condition report. Check the availability of parts and service options.
