Geely Monjaro rapidly entered the Russian market and quickly became one of the most popular Chinese crossovers. However, high demand does not guarantee trouble-free operation. Below are six real examples from the used market.
Monjaro debuted in China in 2021, and appeared in Russia only in 2023. The crossover is built on the CMA platform in collaboration with Volvo: the body is characterized by high rigidity and the use of high-strength steels, and the equipment includes advanced electronic assistants. One power combination is offered for Russia: a 2.0-liter JLH-4G20TDJ turbo engine with an 8-speed Aisin "automatic", all-wheel drive with a plug-in rear axle and several driving modes. The suspension is fully independent.
The used car market mainly features all-wheel drive versions with automatic transmission after 2023. Prices for Monjaro 2021-2022 start from 2.7 million rubles, while new cars cost 4.6-5 million rubles.
The Monjaro body is reliably protected from corrosion, although the paintwork is average - chips appear quickly, and the chrome on the decorative elements of the first batches sometimes faded. The interior is neat, but the glossy panels get scratched, and the armrests lose their texture by 40-50 thousand km. Electrics and multimedia are the main source of complaints: system freezes, camera and parking sensor failures were found on early models, and the battery sometimes discharges unexpectedly.
The 2.0-liter engine is reliable, a Volvo clone, and with regular oil changes it lasts more than 150,000 km. Small oil or coolant leaks are possible after 60-80 thousand km, and the timing belt requires inspection. The 8-speed Aisin "automatic" is recognized as one of the most reliable, it is recommended to change the oil every 50-60 thousand km. The all-wheel drive with Haldex clutch works correctly, the gearboxes do not cause problems. The suspension is generally durable, the first extraneous knocks may appear by 30 thousand km.
The first inspected Monjaro 2022 with a mileage of 71,000 km is technically sound, but the body is covered with scratches and chips, and the wheels suffer from curbs. The interior is well preserved, the multimedia system has been re-flashed, the price is 3.1 million rubles. The second is a rare front-wheel drive version with a 2.0 l/215 hp "robot", mileage 18,000 km, the body and interior are almost without complaints, the price is 3 million rubles.
The third car, an all-wheel drive Monjaro 2023 with a mileage of 59,000 km, is fully functional, the body is partially covered with film, there is no additional anti-corrosion protection, the price is 3.349 million rubles. The fourth is a silver "parallel" Monjaro 2023 with a mileage of 47,000 km, the first owner only carried out maintenance, the body and interior are in excellent condition, the price after bargaining is 3.3 million rubles.
The fifth copy of the same year with a mileage of 33,000 km is a warranty Monjaro Exclusive version with many electronic assistants, the interior is well-groomed, the body is covered with film, the digital instrument panel is controversial, the price is 3.55 million rubles. In general, used Monjaros lose a million to one and a half in price compared to new ones, but retain reliability, comfort and functionality.
The sixth Monjaro is a 2024 model, an Exclusive version with many electronic assistants. Mileage 47,000 km, partially covered with film, the interior is well-groomed, full sound insulation has been carried out. The "automatic" sometimes twitches, but in general the crossover feels almost new. The price is close to 3,500,000 rubles with a gift in the form of a set of winter tires.
Market analysis showed that used Geely Monjaros retain the reliability and comfort of a new car, while with minimal investment you can find a decent copy. The cost of used cars is usually 1-1.5 million rubles lower than new 2025 models.
