2026 Chery Tiggo 9 PHEV Premium AWD Review
The little-known Tiggo 9 is Chery’s flagship mid-size SUV, with a PHEV variant offering 600+ hp, AWD, seven seats and a long list of premium features, giving this family SUV a strong résumé
If you’re apprehensive about going fully electric but want to move beyond a conventional petrol engine, a hybrid can be a useful halfway house. And now, almost every major brand either offers hybrids or is introducing them across multiple SUV segments. The 2026 Chery Tiggo 9 PHEV Premium AWD sits at…

2026 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Review
This four-door race car for the road pairs a 510 PS twin-turbo V6 with razor-sharp handling and unmistakable Italian character, though age and practicality aren’t its strongest suits
When you’re looking for a performance car, you’re usually looking for more than just speed. You often want power, a sonorous exhaust note to rattle your eardrums, and, of course, prestige and a legacy — something built for both the road and the track. Very few cars manage to tick all those boxes, an…

2026 Nissan Patrol PRO-4X Review
Big, bold, hugely capable and predictably thirsty, the Patrol PRO-4X combines a 425 hp twin-turbo V6 with a refined 8-seat cabin and serious off-road hardware, but those transmission buttons annoy.
Few SUVs are as closely woven into Middle Eastern motoring culture as the Nissan Patrol. For decades, it has been a familiar sight on city streets, family driveways and desert trails, which is why I called it the modern “ship of the desert” in my First Drive piece. Now, there’s a new PRO-4X for the…

2027 BYD Ti 7 Super Hybrid Premium Review
BYD’s new five-seat Super Hybrid SUV blends boxy styling, 480 hp, a claimed 870 km range and generous equipment, making it one to watch at a relatively affordable AED 156,900.
Just when you think the Chinese automotive space has reached saturation point, along comes the 2027 BYD Ti 7 Super Hybrid, a large five-seat plug-in hybrid SUV combining rugged styling, family practicality and strong performance. We first drove the Ti 7 at its UAE launch and came away impressed. Thi…

2026 Deepal G318 High AT Review
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…
