Geely Monjaro EM-i Sets New GUINNESS WORLD RECORD in Sahara Desert

24 Sep Geely Monjaro EM-i Sets New GUINNESS WORLD RECORD in Sahara Desert

(Oilandgaspress) 24/09/26, – Geely Auto announced on Tuesday that the Monjaro EM-i had earned a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the “Fastest crossing of the Black and White Desert (Sahara) by a plug-in hybrid powered production SUV” at the Monjaro EM-i Product Capability & Core Tech Deep Dive event. The record was set over a continuous 188.6-kilometre route through extreme heat and demanding desert terrain, marking a milestone in the Monjaro EM-i’s global launch journey and demonstrating its proven performance in extreme conditions.

A Record-Breaking Crossing: 188.6 Kilometres Across the Sahara

During the continuous crossing, the Monjaro EM-i travelled from the dark volcanic landscape of Egypt’s Black Desert to the chalk-white terrain of the White Desert. Airborne dust and unpredictable levels of grip placed sustained demands on the vehicle’s performance, control and durability throughout the crossing.

The Monjaro EM-i was put through five professional challenges designed to push its capabilities to the limit: extreme handling and stability, consecutive steep-slope climbs, cross-axle recovery, ride comfort over rough terrain and acceleration at a low state of charge.

Proven Technologies: Five Tests in Extreme Conditions

Built on the GEA Evo, Geely’s native new-energy vehicle architecture designed for different energy systems, markets and environments, the Monjaro EM-i also uses GEEA 3.0, whose “central brain plus zonal control” system coordinates the powertrain and e-AWD System to respond within milliseconds to changing terrain and grip conditions.

The Monjaro EM-i debuts Geely’s e-AWD Intelligent Electric AWD System which can intelligently adjust the front-to-rear torque distribution anywhere between 100:0, with all torque directed to the front wheels, to an even 50:50 split between front and rear wheels. The e-AWD system works in tandem with Geely’s traction-control technology to reduce wheel slip by up to 50%, helping the vehicle maintain traction even during steep climbs and improve cross-axle recovery.
