New Car & 4WD Buyer Guide

Listed here are cars and 4WDs sold in the Middle East, complete with price ranges, engine details, fuel economy ratings and performance data, along with mini-reviews containing good and bad points.

• Listed prices act as guidelines only, and are subject to change depending on regional dealer, country of sale, and inflation.
• All horsepower numbers are net ratings, and therefore lower than outdated gross ratings that some car manufacturers wrongly advertise.
• All fuel economy numbers are for comparative purposes only, obtained in ideal test conditions and not indicative of real life performance.
• Not all models are available in all Middle East and GCC markets, although every attempt is made to cover the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Yemen, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Bahrain.
