2026 XPENG G9 Performance

With 575 PS, a luxurious five-seat cabin, adaptive air suspension and lightning-quick 525 kW charging, the AED 232,000 XPENG G9 Performance combines serious pace with premium-SUV comfort, making it a dark horse among its Chinese rivals.

XPENG may still be unfamiliar to many UAE buyers, but it is a brand with plenty to offer. The G9 sits in the mid-to-large premium electric SUV segment, often classified as the E-segment in Europe, with prices starting at AED 192,500 or approximately $52,400. We sampled the dual-motor AWD Performance…

2026 Deepal G318 High AT

With rugged off-road styling, a quiet 430 PS range-extender powertrain, a spacious cabin and available air suspension, the 2026 Deepal G318 High AT delivers comfort, capability and strong value at AED 139,900 in the UAE.

Think of a serious off-roader in the UAE and familiar names come to mind. The Jeep Wrangler is highly capable but common, the Toyota FJ Cruiser is no longer in production, the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 250 still feels new to many buyers, while the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 and Nissan Patrol may be lar…

2025 Voyah Free AWD Review The Electric Estate

The China-built Voyah Free SUV picks up where the Rabdan left off, retaining its estate-like styling while offering a compelling résumé that includes REEV technology with a range of over 1,000km and a plush cabin with a funky retractable dashboard—all for an enticing AED 165,000.

Chinese cars are all the rage. What began with affordable sedans and crossovers now extends to luxury and performance models, with a new contender appearing almost every month. One of the latest is Voyah, Dongfeng Motor Group’s premium intelligent EV brand, founded in Wuhan in 2018 and its line-up i…

2026 Cadillac Escalade-V

The bullet-fast version of Cadillac’s high-profile luxury SUV combines a mighty 691 PS supercharged V8 with a giant 55-inch display, power-operated doors and first-class comfort. It is not merely big; it is the king of big.

Launched in 1999 as Cadillac’s answer to the Lincoln Navigator, the Escalade has evolved far beyond a traditional full-size SUV. Across five generations, it has become a global icon, frequently seen in celebrity fleets, VIP motorcades and luxury car collections. We tested the standard-wheelbase 2026…

2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT

The coveted Mustang badge meets electric crossover practicality, with 487 silent electric horses giving it enough pace and handling to make the two-door V8 GT question its own existence.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT represents one of the boldest shifts in automotive identity. One of the most iconic muscle car names now sits on an all-electric crossover, a move that, for purists, borders on sacrilege. There is no long bonnet hiding a V8, no thunderous exhaust note. Instead, the Mach-E…

2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium

Can one of the world’s most recognisable performance cars, with its svelte yet muscular bodywork and 5.0-litre V8, prove that the original pony car still has its magic in the digital age?

The Ford Mustang needs little introduction. First introduced in 1964, it helped define the pony car formula, combining accessible performance with a sense of theatre that appealed to both dreamers and drivers. More than six decades later, the Mustang remains the most recognisable survivor among trad…
