Volvo to become electric/hybrid-only by 2019
All car manufacturers are now part of a rat-race to go green. As countries like Norway, France, and Germany have vowed to eliminate the use of fossil fuel-powered cars in the next few decades, European carmakers have no option but to act accordingly. Volvo has recently announced that they will only sell hybrids and electric vehicles from 2019, stopping the production of the petrol-only and diesel cars altogether.
2017 Nissan Patrol Super Safari 3-door released in UAE, KSA & GCC
Following the relaunch of the Patrol Super Safari 5-door earlier this year, Nissan has launched the 3-door version of the Patrol Super Safari, also known as the Hard Top version.
Tesla Model 3 production version debuts, with full pricing info
Months have flown by since the day Tesla announced the Model 3, a baby brother to the popular Model S sedan. After numerous spy shots, rumours, renderings and a faceless prototype, production of the Model 3 has actually started and the very first example is slated for the company’s CEO, Elon Musk.
So we got a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS
We’ve been reading good things about the latest Chevrolet Camaro. The problem was, we never drove one. So we asked for one from our usual sources for press or demo cars. No one had a car to give us, for whatever reason. So we rented one, in full “Bumblebee” spec.
So we got a 2017 Ford Escape Ecoboost
The Ford Escape doesn’t register on any shopping lists of crossover buyers around here. And truth be told, the mildly facelifted model that you see here probably won’t change that at first glance. But this updated model has a few tricks up its sleeve that surprised us. And in a world where even exotic cars are completely predictable, we definitely like surprises.
2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS unveiled as the most powerful 911 ever
Porsche has taken the wraps off the most powerful road-going 911 ever produced. Called the GT2 RS, it slips in as a halo model to the iconic sports car range which sold more than a million units since its inception 55 years ago.
First drive: 2018 Honda Civic Type-R, Civic DCT & Clarity in Japan
When we attended the Honda Meeting 2017 press conference in Japan, at the carmaker’s Tochigi R&D centre, we got an unexpected taste of some of the company’s latest products. The cars on hand to drive were the much-hyped Honda Civic Type-R, the new Honda Clarity range of hybrid/electric vehicles, and a Honda Civic Dynamic Study prototype. While our time with each of them was limited to a few minutes, if you ever get your hands on these on the same day, you’d have a completely different view of Honda as a carmaker than you would when walking into a local Honda showroom.

Cooper Tire adds new management staff for GCC expansion plans
Century-old American tyre-maker Cooper Tire is currently keen to take a bigger share of the Middle East pie when it comes to tyres, especially in the last two years. With rivals such as Continental Tires setting up a regional office in Dubai a couple of years ago, following both Michelin and Bridgestone, it seems our region is finally being taken seriously. We recently had a chat with Luis Ceneviz, who is the Cooper Tire managing director for EMEA and Latin American markets, alongside regional sales director Christophe Huss, regional marketing director Michiel Kramer and the European Technical Center’s general manager Gavin Richards.
