The 2026 Geely Preface Sport Line Special Edition has been officially introduced in the United Arab Emirates through AGMC, the exclusive Geely distributor in the country. Positioned as a standout sedan in the competitive mid-size segment, the Sport Line edition blends premium design, sporty accents, and advanced safety features while maintaining one of the most competitive price points in its class.
Developed on Geely’s CMA platform (Compact Modular Architecture), co-engineered with Volvo, the Preface Sport Line combines European engineering credibility with Chinese manufacturing value. The result is a vehicle designed to rival larger, more expensive sedans such as the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, and Hyundai Sonata, while being priced closer to smaller competitors like the MG 6 and Changan Uni-V.
Exterior Design: Subtle Sporty Enhancements
The Sport Line Special Edition is available exclusively in gloss black, paired with a series of bold styling upgrades. Key exterior highlights include:
- Blackened grille and logo with carbon fiber elements
- Yellow accent striping across the front bumper, side profile, and brake calipers
- 18-inch gloss black alloy wheels
- Carbon fiber mirror caps and rear diffuser
- Smoked tail lamps for a more aggressive stance
- Quad exhaust outlets retained from the standard Preface
These refinements give the sedan a distinctive, sporty identity without resorting to exaggerated body kits, maintaining an elegant yet dynamic look.
Interior: Striking Yellow Accents and Premium Comfort
Inside, the Geely Preface Sport Line features a bold yellow-and-black diamond-stitched interior theme, creating a high-end, sporty atmosphere. Notable interior highlights include:
- Starlight ceiling with customizable ambient lighting, reminiscent of luxury brands like Rolls-Royce
- Carbon fiber-style trim integrated discreetly into door handles and center console
- Heated and ventilated front seats with electric adjustment and lumbar support (on top trims)
- 10-speaker Infinity sound system (higher trims) or 8-speaker system (lower trims)
- Ample cabin space due to its long 4.8-meter body, making it more spacious than most Chinese rivals
Rear passengers benefit from dedicated air-conditioning vents, USB Type-C and Type-A ports, and generous legroom, reinforcing its family-friendly practicality.
Technology and Safety Features
The Sport Line builds on the Preface’s already advanced tech suite, offering:
- 13.2-inch central infotainment display with fast response

- 2.0L Turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine
- 215 hp and 325 Nm torque
- 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission
Developed by Volvo, this engine has been recognized as one of the Top 10 four-cylinder engines worldwide, balancing performance and efficiency. Drive modes include Comfort and Sport, with noticeable throttle response adjustments in sportier settings.
Market Positioning and Value
The Geely Preface Sport Line Special Edition sets itself apart by offering premium design and advanced safety at a price point typically associated with smaller sedans. This strategic positioning allows Geely to target young professionals and families looking for an affordable yet upscale sedan with a sporty edge.
By combining Volvo engineering credibility, bold styling, and spacious practicality, the Preface Sport Line enhances Geely’s appeal in the UAE’s growing Chinese automotive market segment.
Conclusion
