-

MUSCAT: With the growing demands of automobili­sts around the world, the Geely’s designers, led by Peter Horbury - a wellknown car designer, are now building intelligen­t, attractive next-generation Geely cars that make driving easier, smoother and more fun.

A team of 100 European and Chinese designers at Geely Group’s R&D Centre in Gothenburg, Sweden, is continuous­ly adapting their design strategies and creating exquisite, highqualit­y vehicles that boast of Sino-European aesthetics and state of art features. The new design has completely transforme­d Geely’s second generation cars, giving it a very classy and elegant look from every possible angle.

The next generation Geely cars are ahead of its times and has elements of both a modern car and its Chinese roots. The design of the cars is inspired by Chinese culture and architectu­re. Its interior is inspired by Chinese stone bridges, while details such as the stitching down the centre of the seat are meant to reflect a traditiona­l Chinese gown.

A spokespers­on from Towell Auto Centre (TAC), the sole distributo­r of Geely cars in Oman, said: “Over the past decade, Geely has become a leading Chinese automotive manufactur­er with a strong global presence because of its entreprene­urial spirit, commitment to innovation and manufactur­ing efficiency. The Geely designers are now building cars that are economical, environmen­t-friendly and energy efficient. They keep shaping their strategies to respond efficientl­y to the changing needs and requiremen­ts of their customers. Such qualities make Geely compete effectivel­y with its industry peers as it continues to grow domestical­ly and internatio­nally.”
