AGMC, the official distributor of Geely Auto in the UAE, has announced the launch of the Geely Okavango, its all-new seven-seater SUV offering advanced technologies, exceptional comfort and design, and class-leading interior space to customers in the UAE.
Named after one of Africa’s last great natural sanctuaries in Botswana, the Geely Okavango is a seamless integration of performance, elegance, and adaptability. Geely’s largest SUV to date has an industry-leading space utilization rate that maximizes interior comfort and practicality. The seven seats can be fully folded, providing an expansive yet functional storage space of 2050 litres, while the interior levelling space can measure up to 2.2m long – equivalent to a king-sized bed.
A futuristic design encompassing Geely’s iconic Stonehenge 3-Dash daytime running lights and full-width Lava Flow taillights explores the boundaries of aesthetics with its merging lines, structure, and space to create an alluring, modern appeal.
Commenting on the launch, Dr Andreas Schaaf, CEO – New Ventures at Albatha Automotive said: “In a market well known for its love of SUVs, the introduction of Geely Okavango adds an exciting new choice for customers. It reinforces Geely’s strategic vision to become the world’s most competitive and respected auto brand. I am confident the Okavango will become a wildly popular fixture on the UAE’s roads. It offers great style, driving performance and space at a very accessible price point, making it the ideal choice for all occasions. At Geely AGMC, we take immense pride in offering our valued customers a wide selection of vehicles to suit different lifestyles and needs, which is backed by our exceptional customer service and a smooth buying experience.”
The interior of the all-new Geely Okavango is thoughtfully designed for all aspects of life – including work, leisure and active adventures with friends and family. The refreshed zero-pressure seats offer exceptional comfort while the material itself is odourless and eco-friendly. Featuring a 540-degree HD panoramic camera, a 60-inch UV resistant panoramic sunroof, modern dashboard with 12.3-inch central display and a double layered central console design, the all-new Geely Okavango indeed pushes the boundaries of technological possibility.
Customers can look forward to unleashing peak performance powered by the 2.0 litre TDI engine and a 7-speed dual clutch transmission, producing 218hp and 325Nm of torque, that offers a smooth and powerful start, transforming the drive into a dynamic and enjoyable experience.
The vehicle’s high-performance engine propels it from 0 to 100 km/h in a rapid 7.9 seconds, complemented by an exceptionally comfortable independent suspension system and a BOSCH 9.3 Electronic Stability Program that reduces body roll and maximises handling on the road to offer a driving experience that harmonizes stability and comfort.
Built with utmost safety in mind, technology in the all-new Okavango has been elevated to include passenger health and sustainability. With six airbags and a strong steel body structure, the vehicle can robustly protect its occupants, and the 540-degree HD panoramic camera helps motorists safely navigate their surroundings when manoeuvring and parking.

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.
• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.
• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.
• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.
• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.
• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.
“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”
The new 2025 Ram 1500 is now available in the Middle East, featuring an all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engine family that brings more power, performance, and improved fuel efficiency.
“The new 2025 Ram 1500 brings our customers more: more power, more performance and more fuel efficiency with our all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engines,” said Chris Feuell, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “With a choice of new and proven gas engines or our upcoming electric truck offerings, Ram is built to serve truck buyers everywhere. Our new powertrain offerings add to the unique combination of bold styling, leading-edge innovation and technology, durability and capability Ram customers have come to know and love.”
The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
