Electric cars have yet to make an impact in the Gulf. The first one to pop in, the limited-range Fisker Karma, stalled before it even got started, although it was more due to a little thing called bankruptcy rather than any market dynamics here. The Lexus “performance” hybrids haven’t done well either, with their high prices and lack of real performance gains. And Nissan keeps showing the Leaf in public, but cannot apparently make it adjust to our weather. But the one electric car the rest of the world is excited about isn’t even offered in the UAE. That’s the Tesla Model S.
The fact that we’re running out of fossil fuels isn’t a joke. As a matter of fact, we’ve seen car manufacturers across the globe tighten the screws a bit, to achieve better fuel economy. However, according to some, the future of zero emission and zero fossil fuels is not electric cars, but rather hydrogen fuel cells. And that is exactly what Toyota showcased at the Tokyo Motor Show last month.
A redesign of the popular Mitsubishi Pajero is long overdue. Selling in big numbers as a cheap alternative to the Toyota Prado, the Pajero has carved a niche for itself in the UAE and elsewhere. But it seems Mitusbishi is busy experimenting with what direction to go in with the next-generation model.
If you thought Swedish car brand Saab was dead and gone, think again. The Saab 9-3 is back, with a little help from the Chinese.
We can never be too sure, but if this turns out to be the next Mitsubishi Outlander, we wouldn’t be surprised. But for now, it’s given a clichéd boring nickname; the XR-PHEV. In any case, this is one of Mitsubishi’s offerings at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show this year.
It’s obvious that Opel is busy this year as they came up with an updated Insignia OPC. However, clearly overshadowing the vehicle is the new Monza Concept, which is not just a collection of curves, but rather an art to behold. It was unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Nissan revealed a range of vehicles at the 2013 Dubai Motor Show, with the most notable being the new facelifted Nissan Patrol, the Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and the Nissan Smart Hybrid Taxi.
Volkswagen have increased their range of the Up and the Golf as they are all set to unveil the electric versions of the two. The duo made their appearance at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show this week.
In a twist of events, Range Rover will be unveiling hybrid versions of two of their flagships — the Range Rover and the Sport models. The duo will be making its first appearance at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the coming weeks.
