| The Good: – Tighter size and look – Seating space and features – Ride and handling |
The Bad: – Economy-biased gearbox tune – Needs light foot to aid economy – Limited off-road ability |
| The Good: – Fast little car – Cabin space and features – All-weather handling |
The Bad: – Pricey with options – Steering feedback – Not as fun as its siblings |
The previous GMC Acadia was an odd one. Essentially a minivan in functionality, but disguised as an SUV, the Acadia was actually more practical and spacious inside than the Yukon. The new Acadia is a smaller vehicle as it undergoes a full reboot.
| The Good: – Modern style inside and out – Cabin legroom and features – Fair ride and handling |
The Bad: – Lazy powertrain response – Offroad capability – Hard cabin plastics |
As part of Chevrolet’s Complete Care programme, UAE and other GCC dealers for the brand are now offering 1-hour minor and intermediate servicing.

Morris Garages, the well-known (in Europe at least) British brand that’s best known for making little sports cars back in the day and hopped-up Rover-based sedans most recently before they shut shop. The brand eventually became a part of China’s SAIC, and they’ve launched their own steady stream of economy cars since then, culminating in the brand’s first crossover SUV — the MG GS.
Hyundai is set to reveal their latest attempt at a hot hatch in the second half of 2017. Based on the i30, it will be the first model under Hyundai’s “N” performance sub-brand.
When the all-new Toyota Fortuner debuted a year ago, it created waves with its new-age styling that still somehow looked like a tough offroader (unless, say, the poor attempt that is the new Land Rover Discovery). What we didn’t expect were all the other improvements, including an interior that is surprisingly upscale at first glance.
