Geely Cityray Debuts in the UAE Market
Arabian Gulf Mechanical Center (AGMC), the exclusive distributor of Geely in the UAE, has launched the all-new Geely Cityray—Geely's bold new contender in the compact SUV arena.
Engineered to Stand Out
The Cityray makes a lasting impression with its assertive road presence. Its extended wheelbase—the longest in its segment—delivers improved balance and road grip, while its 19-inch wheels emphasize both style and stability. Packed with high-end safety systems and smart tech, the Cityray is built for drivers who demand both functionality and innovation.
Built on Geely's advanced Compact Modular Architecture (CMA), this SUV balances performance with fuel efficiency. Under the hood, a turbocharged 1.5TD engine produces 172 horsepower and 290 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch automatic transmission. It goes from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.9 seconds—combining speed with smooth delivery for everyday driving and beyond.
Design That Makes a Statement
The Cityray blends city-ready practicality with sharp design and premium touches. Its striking exterior features slender LED headlights and a bold, geometric grille. Customers can choose a sleek two-tone paint scheme accented by a high-gloss black roof, adding a sophisticated edge.
Step inside and you're greeted with a surprisingly spacious interior built for comfort and tech-forward living. A clean center console anchors the modern layout, while a 13.2-inch 2K anti-reflective touchscreen ensures clarity in all lighting conditions. The digital 10.2-inch driver display, panoramic sunroof, and wireless charging elevate the everyday driving experience.
Comfort, Tech, and Control
With ventilated, power-adjustable seats and seamless smartphone integration, the cabin is designed to feel intuitive and luxurious. Parking is simplified with a 540-degree panoramic camera system, giving the driver a complete view of their surroundings. Blind Spot Detection adds real-time alerts during lane changes, making the ride both safer and more confident.
The Cityray also brings a full suite of safety technologies to the table: Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and Blind Spot Detection. Six airbags come standard, along with the 540-degree surround view to boost driver awareness from every angle.
Available Now Across the Emirates
Priced from AED 79,000, the Geely Cityray is available now in showrooms across the UAE. It comes in four color options—silver, white, gray, and blue—offering a personalized touch for every buyer.
Dr. Andreas Skaff, Director at Al Batha Automotive Group, shared his excitement: 'We're proud to introduce the Geely Cityray, a vehicle built for the modern city driver. It combines intelligent features, dynamic performance, and distinctive design, all at a competitive price point.'
He added, 'With AGMC's legacy of trusted service, we're confident the Cityray will emerge as a standout choice in the UAE SUV segment.'
Designed for both urban drives and weekend getaways, the Geely Cityray offers a smart mix of comfort, performance, and everyday utility. It brings a modern spin to mobility with its standout design, cutting-edge features, and adaptable performance—ideal for life in a fast-paced world.

Future development stages to focus on asset management: ElKuwaiz
Mohammed ElKuwaiz, Chairman of the Capital Market Authority (CMA), said the strength of the Saudi capital market showed a significant shift in its global development. Speaking at a panel discussion at Aseer Investment Forum on May 27, ElKuwaiz said the market is no longer viewed merely through the lens of investors, but also through the lens of entrepreneurs seeking funding. As a result, the market currently plays a dual role in both investment and financing. He added that the major leap witnessed by the capital market is evident in the remarkable increase in listings and offerings. In recent years, the number of listings in both the Main Market and Nomu reached nearly 40 and 50. Thus, the local market ranked eighth in the world in terms of market cap as well as the size of offerings and listings. He noted that the increase in listings was accompanied by diversity in sectors and corporate sizes, with 60% of listed companies in the market being small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The Chairman also pointed out that this development included the diversity of investment and financing tools. "Today, we're talking about the stock market and the asset management industry, with investment funds surpassing SAR 1 trillion in assets under management (AUMS) in 2024." The debt instruments sector and the debt market are now nearly equal in size to the asset management sector. Additionally, the diversity of investor categories—including local, individual, international, and institutional investors—contributes to greater market stability, ElKuwaiz said. Saudi Arabia has the most mature stock market, and the next stages of development will focus on the asset management industry, which surpassed SAR 1 trillion, equivalent to roughly one-tenth of the local stock market cap of SAR 10 trillion. This demonstrates the significant growth potential for this sector in the coming period, whether in traditional assets such as equity and bond funds, real estate funds, or venture capital funds. The Chairman added the debt market in the Kingdom is smaller than the capital market, amounting to nearly SAR 1 trillion, compared to the equity market. However, in the past two years, the volume of financing through the debt market surpassed financing in the capital market, reflecting enormous upcoming financing opportunities.
