The upcoming Jaguar XE entry-level premium sedan and the next-generation Land Rover Discovery will highlight the British carmaker’s growth over the next few years, according to the new Middle East managing director, Bruce Robertson.
So we had settled ourselves with a used Ford Mondeo for over a year now, since selling our Mitsubishi Pajero. However, when the situation dictated the need of a second car primarily for my wife, we went on the hunt for one. After a couple of months of visiting several dealerships and test-driving a lot of cars, we settled on the 2014 Renault Megane 2.0 hatchback, of all things.
Peugeot has just revealed pictures and details of the 2015 508.
There I was, perched on top of a tower at “the other JBR”, waiting for the mysteriously-wrapped car to move off, so I could get a clear shot at it away from parked cars. This is the Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake, right here in Dubai.
BMW is going to recall thousands of 2014 X5 models built between December 2013 and March 2014 due to concerns that the engaged child safety locks might deactivate without warning. The problem affects only those trim levels with the automatic soft-closing door option.
We’re no strangers to Mercedes-Benz prototypes milling around our home-base in Dubai, although capturing them on camera isn’t always possible, given how quickly the moment passes. Reader Ayub Kazia, among others, have sent us photos of the next-generation Smart ForTwo, a car that never got started in the GCC.
BMW has officially revealed the 2015 X6. This is the first redesign since the model’s inception back in 2009.
Audi recently revealed the 2015 Audi A7, S7 & RS 7. Mechanically the car remains the same, with very minimal changes made to the exterior design and interior features.
Jaguar is keen to promote the F-Type as their new hero of the line-up, its position further solidified by the news that the long-running Jaguar XK is going to end production by this summer, with no replacement planned anytime soon. However, as big of an improvement as the F-Type is as a sports car, it is missing the main reason that I bought the XK for: cargo space.
While the other cars on our fleet are just toys, the Range Rover is the family vehicle and performs the bulk of our transporting duties. We’ve also trusted it as our luxury ride for important time-sensitive meetings and airport drop-offs. As such, it needs to be reliable. Thankfully our greyish-green Vogue has served us faithfully since 2012 with only minor niggles, especially since we properly take care of it. But it is nearly a decade old and has 111,111 km on it, so we decided to do the inevitable overhaul after it started showing signs of tiredness.
