2027 Geely Expansion Detailed: 830kW Battleship 700 Confirmed, Monjaro and Emgrand L Pre-Orders Open

Geely Auto Australia is mounting an aggressive electrified model offensive for 2027, confirming three new plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) across three core vehicle categories.

The new arrivals will form three of six vehicles planned for Geely's local portfolio by the end of 2027, complementing the existing EX2, EX5, and Starray EM-i. To build initial order banks, Geely has opened early pre-orders for the Monjaro EM-i and Emgrand L EM-i ahead of their first-half 2027 deliveries, backed by limited-time customer incentives.

Launch Window and Pre-Order Offers

Customer deliveries for both the Monjaro EM-i and Emgrand L EM-i are scheduled for the first half of 2027, while the flagship Battleship 700 is slated for the second half of 2027.

Buyers placing a $200 holding deposit between September 18 and September 30, 2026, secure:

• A complimentary EV home charger
• A complimentary premium exterior paint upgrade (valued at $600)
• A complimentary suede-like interior upholstery upgrade (exclusive to the Monjaro EM-i AWD variant)

Model Breakdown: Powertrains, Platforms, and Real-World Range

1.     Geely Monjaro EM-i (Mid-Size SUV)

Positioned above the Starray EM-i, the Monjaro EM-i is a five-seat mid-size SUV shifting to Geely’s newer Global Intelligent New Energy Architecture Evo (GEA Evo) platform, departing from the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) used on previous iterations and shared with models like the Volvo EX40 and Polestar 2. The platform incorporates a chassis tuned by Geely Technology Europe and available Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) suspension.

Under the bonnet is a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine paired with dual electric motors and a battery pack offering up to 40kWh capacity. Geely claims an electric-only range of up to 170km and a combined petrol-electric range of up to 1,137km on the WLTP cycle. For Australian buyers, the 40kWh battery provides enough capacity for typical daily metropolitan commuting without petrol intervention, though high-speed rural cruising will draw on the combustion engine once the battery is depleted.

2.     Geely Emgrand L EM-i (Mid-Size Sedan)

Designed to compete directly against hybrid mainstays like the Toyota Camry and the BYD Seal 6, the Emgrand L EM-i provides a traditional three-box alternative to popular crossover body styles.

It shares its underlying plug-in powertrain with the Starray EM-i, pairing a 1.5-litre engine with an 18.4kWh battery. The setup produces over 180kW of power and 250Nm of torque. Geely claims an electric-only range exceeding 80km (WLTP) and a total cruising range beyond 1,000km, providing accessible plug-in capability for fleet and private commuter buyers.

3.     Geely Battleship 700 (Off-Road SUV)

Serving as the production evolution of the Galaxy Cruiser Prototype, the Battleship 700 is a dedicated body-on-frame style off-roader designed for heavy-duty touring.

Overseas specifications confirm a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine matched to a tri-motor all-wheel-drive system and a 47kWh battery, developing a combined 830kW. Pure electric range is quoted at 170km. For off-road travel, it features 233mm of ground clearance, an 800mm water wading depth, an integrated differential lock, and a specialized 'Waltz' U-turn function that enables on-the-spot turns.
