Kia is no stranger in the full-size SUV 7-seater market, having already had the Mohave in their lineup for the past decade. However, despite being forcefully kept on life-support, the Mohave never really caught on with the general public as their other more-modern models have. Hoping to change that, Kia has now introduced an all-new model, the Telluride. We were invited to a media launch event in Dubai to try it out on a pre-determined route.
The 2019 Peugeot 508 has finally made its way to the UAE and other GCC markets since it was officially revealed at last year’s Paris Motor Show in October. The reason for the slight delay is apparently because Peugeot has been testing the cars in this region to address any reliability issues. That’s good news from a brand that became synonymous with cars that didn’t go more than a few years before they were given up on, including us when we owned a Peugeot 307 XSi a decade ago.
We take the all-new Lexus UX 200 for a spin to find out if the little luxury crossover has what it takes to compete with the Germans.
We test-drove the Aston Martin Rapide S Shadow Edition, which is quite possibly the most attractive four-door car around. And probably one of the last V12-powered cars ever.
A 585 hp rear-wheel-drive supercar and a rain-soaked Hockenheimring – venue for the German F1 Grand Prix, and a track I’ve never previously been to – are ingredients that pretty much guarantee the day ahead will be anything but dull. Throw in a man named Bernd Schneider, a hard-pedalling five-time German touring car champ, as a pacemaker and you can bet fireworks are in store.
On invitation from Alfa Romeo, we visited the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo museum in Arese near Milan, Italy. Check out concepts, prototypes, sports cars and race cars from a brand that is now more than a hundred years old and has been witnessing a resurgence.
Here’s our quick video review of the all-new 2019 Nissan Altima as we drove it around Dubai during the GCC launch event.
Here’s our quick video review of the 2019 Honda HR-V that debuted in the GCC after a gap of more than a decade.
We drove the all-new Rolls-Royce Cullinan in Dubai. The brand’s first ever 4×4 takes its place at the top of the SUV pile while retaining everything that a Rolls-Royce is known for.
Here’s our quick video review of the all-new Bentley Continental GT that we drove from Dubai to Jebel Jais.
