Geely Maroc has just recently unveiled the Cityray, an SUV which intends to do well in the C segment and which is banking on its many assets to convince customers.
All indicators are green for Geely Maroc at the start of 2025. The automotive subsidiary of Bamotors can boast of a good commercial record for the year 2024. “We have managed to consolidate our position as a player key to the Moroccan automobile market.

It must be said that the Moroccan importer of the Chinese brand was able to capitalize on the mobilization of its teams and on a range of vehicles which has gradually won over customers over the months. In addition, the brand benefits from an extensive distribution network comprising five sales points and ten service points. “Today, we see that the Geely brand is more attractive, not only for consumers, but also investors, that is to say dealers,” adds Mr. Nicolas. Geely continues to weave its web in the Kingdom. In fact, four new dealerships should be inaugurated this year. To this must be added the expansion of the range of vehicles. In addition to the Cityray, which is currently the brand’s big novelty in the Kingdom, four other new models will be added to the Geely-branded automobile platforms over the months.
