GeelyUAE GeelyKSA GeelyKuwait GeelyQatar GeelyBahrain GeelyEgypt GeelyOman Geely is gearing up for 2026 with stronger momentum in Saudi Arabia, moving with a clear strategy to expand its presence and deliver models that align more closely with the expectations of GCC buyers. This push is supported by wider showroom coverage, improved local services, and the adoption of advanced technologies that elevate the concept of smart and reliable daily cars. As the company shifts globally toward blending traditional engines with modern electrified solutions, the Kingdom stands out as an ideal market for the next generation of Geely models, especially with the growing demand for value, innovation, and style without compromising performance. In the following overview, we highlight the key models Geely is preparing for 2026 based on global announcements and current plans for regional release.
The arrival of the EX5 brings a broader electric phase to the Kingdom
Geely’s electric shift begins with the EX5, known globally as the Galaxy E5, a compact SUV designed for large scale export to Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Its confirmed launch in the United Kingdom by late 2025 signals a strong likelihood of entering Middle Eastern markets in 2026, aligning well with Saudi Arabia’s move toward environmentally friendly mobility.
The EX5 offers an electric solution suitable for daily commuting and intercity travel thanks to its expected updated range exceeding 600 km, positioning it as a competitive, affordable EV choice.
Key expected features of the EX5:
Electric range exceeding 600 km in updated versions
Smart entertainment systems powered by Flyme Auto
Over the air updates for continuous improvement
A global development platform engineered for both left and right hand drive markets
A modern user interface suited for Saudi drivers seeking simplicity with smart functionality
This direction confirms Geely’s intention to introduce a balanced electric SUV that blends accessible pricing with practical technology, increasing the likelihood of its inclusion in the brand’s 2026 lineup for the Kingdom.
G-Pilot elevates intelligent driving through the support of a satellite network.
Geely is enhancing the intelligence of its vehicles through the G-Pilot suite revealed globally in early 2025, aiming to improve road environment recognition and reduce the burden of highway driving, an environment heavily used across the Kingdom.
The most eye catching component is Geely’s dedicated satellite network, “Geespace,” which the company plans to expand to near global coverage, with potential connectivity agreements in more than 20 countries, including Saudi Arabia.
What this advanced infrastructure can offer:
More accurate navigation on highways and open roads
Enhanced in vehicle connectivity services
Improved driver assistance systems through more reliable data
Better support for partial autonomous driving with precise real time information
This leap forward places Geely in a unique position, giving its 2026 models access to a connectivity ecosystem unavailable to most competitors.
Coolray evolves while Starray strengthens its position among GCC families
Despite the strong push toward electrification, Geely continues to support its successful gasoline and hybrid lineup in the Kingdom. Coolray stands as a prime example, surpassing one million global sales and introducing an updated version equipped with a 1.5 liter turbo engine from the Leishen series.
Key strengths of the 2026 Coolray:
Upgraded 1.5 liter turbo engine
Smooth shifting 7DCT transmission
0–100 km/h acceleration in 7.6 seconds
Fuel efficient performance ideal for young urban drivers
In the higher tier, Starray continues to solidify its presence as a stylish family SUV, supported by the availability of all wheel drive in nearby markets an indicator that similar configurations may reach the Gulf as demand for this segment remains consistently strong.
Al Walan Network strengthens Geely’s presence and boosts consumer confidence in Saudi Arabia
Geely relies in Saudi Arabia on the Al Walan network, which continues to expand model availability, provide faster maintenance, and offer extended warranties,factors that give local buyers a higher level of reassurance toward the brand.
With the arrival of the 2026 lineup, this infrastructure will play a pivotal role in reinforcing trust among Saudi customers, especially amid the growing competition among Chinese manufacturers and the consumer’s preference for brands that deliver strong and reliable after sales support.
