The Toyota Hilux is a pickup that has made its name around the world for being an extremely dependable and bulletproof workhorse. In the Middle East, the Hilux continues to be a hot favorite among small-business buyers, and Toyota has done timely updates to keep it that way, even after switching production to Thailand.

The full-size luxury coupe flashes a blingy design that has always made it stand out, despite its relatively-lacklustre performance credentials compared to German rivals.

The Audi A3 is the stepping-stone to the German giant’s range, if you ignore the Audi A1 that’s been discontinued in the GCC due to slow sales.

The 2021 Audi A3 Sportback is also accompanied by the hotter S3 Sportback as well. For those who want to pick up the ultra-potent RS3 will have to wait for a while to get their hands on the new-gen RS3 but you guys have a surprise from Audi.

Weirdly named Czinger 21C, this hypercar has a racing heart.
