Alghanim Industries prepares to launch ET8 with self-service smart technology
Exeed continues to strengthen its presence in Middle Eastern markets through a strategic move combining luxury and innovation, as it prepares to launch its flagship new ET8. This vehicle marks the brand’s entry into the luxury segment with its first full-size, six-seat SUV, alongside the global debut of SIVP (Super Intelligent Valet Parking), a smart self-parking technology showcased on the 2026 ET model. With the Gulf car market recording annual sales of approximately 1.3 million vehicles, Exeed offers a new option that blends luxury, comfort, and the latest intelligent driving technologies to meet the needs of families and business professionals seeking an exceptional mobility experience.
The ET8 boasts imposing dimensions, measuring 5,205 mm in length and featuring a wheelbase of 3,120 mm, giving it a strong road presence. Its exterior design combines elegance and simplicity, catering to various usage patterns in the Middle East, whether for daily city commuting, family trips, or formal receptions. The interior cabin has been meticulously designed to provide the highest levels of comfort for all passengers, featuring three rows and six independent seats that offer dedicated space for each occupant. The second row is equipped with zero-gravity seats and a one-touch relaxation mode, complemented by a smart compartment with cooling and heating functions, making long journeys more comfortable and enjoyable.
The driving experience is enhanced by a system of four interconnected screens and a premium audio system with 23 speakers, creating a serene atmosphere and an experience comparable to executive lounges. In line with its leadership in smart technologies, Exeed is preparing to launch SIVP globally for the first time on the 2026 ET model. This advanced technology is designed to handle daily usage scenarios such as parking and automatically summoning the vehicle. SIVP elevates the concept of smart parking from a driver assistance feature to a fully integrated service executed independently by the car, combining AI-driven parking, smart summoning capabilities, and the ability to call the vehicle with a single tap on a smartphone.
Amid the hot climate of the Middle East or in crowded locations such as hotels, shopping malls, and airports, drivers can leave the vehicle at the entrance while the car autonomously parks itself, even in tight spaces. When needed, it can be easily summoned to a designated meeting point, making arrival and departure more comfortable and seamless. SIVP relies on an advanced system that balances ease of use with high safety standards. It can intelligently analyze surrounding environments and handle temporary obstacles, automatically stopping and prioritizing safety when pedestrians or potential hazards are detected. The technology has undergone intensive testing, including over 10,000 kilometers of trials and 500 comprehensive tests for self-parking operations, reflecting Exeed’s commitment to delivering reliable smart solutions that enhance customer confidence in the latest future driving technologies.
The ET8 is scheduled to arrive in several regional markets, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and others, starting in October next year, with SIVP technology being rolled out gradually alongside the new model launch. This launch underscores Exeed’s commitment to continuing the development of smart mobility solutions and strengthening its presence in the luxury car sector by offering the latest technologies that elevate the driving experience and align with customer aspirations in the region.
In Kuwait, Exeed vehicles are available through Yousuf Ahmad Al-Ghanim & Bros, the authorized dealer for the brand. Customers can explore the latest Exeed models and enjoy a distinctive driving experience by visiting the company’s showrooms in Al-Reem, Shuwaikh, and Fahaheel. The Exeed team at Yousuf Ahmad Al-Ghanim & Bros continues to deliver the latest luxury mobility solutions, supported by comprehensive services that meet the aspirations of customers in the Kuwaiti market.
