Cars have become a whole lot “smarter” these days. There’s been a whole host of technological developments that has made driving easier as well as safer than ever before. But until recently, such tech was only found in expensive luxury cars. But Ford was one of the first mainstream brands to start offering electronic driving aids and safety features in affordable cars such as the Ford Fusion.
The new 2015 Ford Mustang is set to start production in the United States on July 14th.
Last week we did a list of the top cars researched by our readers this Ramadan. This week we take a look at the top ten luxury cars that are in consideration by our more affluent visitors. These figures were pulled from our internal stats, with a heavy UAE bias since most of our traffic is from our home-base. We’ve also stuck to only true luxury brands, rather than fit in luxury cars from mainstream brands.
Al Habtoor Motors are giving a Ramadan special offer for its customers who choose to buy a brand new 2014 Mitsubishi Pajero, ASX or Outlander SUVs. Al Habtoor Motors is offering 5 years of interest free finance. Along with that, 100 lucky customers will get a chance to win AED 10,000 cash in Al Habtoor Motors “Million Dirham Giveaway”.
Mini recently revealed pictures and details of the 2015 Mini Paceman and Countryman, although it is hard to spot the differences.
| The Good: – Head-turning looks – Cabin trim and features – Comfortable on and offroad |
The Bad: – Head-turning looks – Bit pricey in its segment – Conservative onroad drive |
Remember that time we drove the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe in Spain a few months ago? How we were enamoured with its super-grippy handling and its crackly-pop exhaust note? Well, the Chevy Camaro ZL1 is the American version of that car.
This here is the 2015 Volkswagen Passat sedan. Also available in wagon as well as R-Line form, it is clearly the European version rather than the larger American one. Which means it may not come to the UAE.
Truth be told, I like this car. I’ve liked it ever since I saw photos of it a year ago. Yes, it’s been around that long in South-East Asia while we were still seeing that generic Japanese-built one around here. This new one’s built in Thailand, but from what we saw, that hasn’t made an ounce of difference in quality — it feels just as cheap as the Japanese one.
Ramadan Kareem to everyone. As the oldest automotive consumer website in the region (you can still read our reviews from 2004!) as well as the most popular among real car shoppers (our advertising budget is peanuts compared to the imitators that have popped up), we are in a good position to see exactly what people here are interested in buying, simply by looking at our stats. Here’s a rundown of the top ten cars being researched the most on DriveArabia.com this Ramadan across the GCC, with a bit of a bias towards the UAE.
