Al-Mansour Automotive, the automotive arm of Mansour Group, a Cairo-based conglomerate chaired by Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Mansour, has launched two fully electric Chevrolet models in Egypt, marking the brand’s entry into the local EV market. The exclusive Chevrolet distributor is introducing the Captiva EV and Spark EUV in partnership with General Motors.
The rollout in Egypt positions Mansour Group as a key partner in General Motors’ electric vehicle strategy in Egypt, one of North Africa’s largest auto markets. GM said the launch supports Egypt’s cleaner transport goals and builds on its long-standing relationship with Al-Mansour Automotive to expand access to EVs designed for everyday use.
Chevrolet launches Spark EUV, Captiva EV
Chevrolet’s Spark EUV is positioned as a compact electric car targeting younger buyers and first-time EV owners, with a focus on value and ease of use. The Captiva EV, by contrast, is a family-oriented electric SUV offering more space, comfort and safety features, according to the companies.
Both vehicles come with extensive aftersales support, including an eight-year or 160,000-kilometer battery warranty, a five-year or 150,000-kilometer vehicle warranty, and three years of roadside assistance. Al-Mansour Automotive said its nationwide dealer network and round-the-clock customer service are intended to ease concerns about switching from conventional vehicles to electric ones.

“Our history in Egypt gives us a strong foundation to introduce electric vehicles that are practical, reliable and suited to everyday life,” Nishi said, adding that the partnership with Al-Mansour Automotive remains central to GM’s regional strategy.
Ankush Arora, chief executive of Al-Mansour Automotive, said the move reflects confidence in Egypt’s ability to adopt new automotive technologies. He said the company sees electric vehicles as a natural next step for the market.
