Dubai International Motor Show 2015: Photo coverage
The Dubai Motor Show, held every two years at the Dubai World Trade Centre, is back for 2015 larger than ever, with a whole host of regional debuts for new models. Some of the more interesting launches included the Ford GT and Ford Mustang GT350R, VW Golf GTI Clubsport and Passat, Peugeot 308 GTI, W Motors Fenyr Supersport, Lamborghini Huracan Spyder and Aventador SV, Toyota Prius, Lexus RX, Bentley Bentayga, Chrysler 200, Audi RS3 Sportback and Lotus Evora 400. The Chinese contingent is larger than ever, mainly catering to the entry-level segment, while smaller sections have been dedicated to bikes, tuners and classic cars.

Hey mashfique!
Well there are changes in the 2016 fj vxr trim and extreme(I’m not completely sure if these were present on the 2015 model)
Vxr trim:(additional features)aed 150900
Front parking sensors
Two tone leather seats
Blind spot detection
Rear traffic cross alert
Extreme trim (all the options in the vxr trim except the 4 options mentioned above)aed 1589000 but includes
Bushwacker fender flares
Catbac exhaust system
Fox suspension with eibach springs
Bfg Goodrich tires 257/70 r16 with black rims
Hood scoop
Smoked out turn signals and taillights
Some parts are matted out instead of chrome
Even the gxr is well kitted…especially the inbuilt air compressor
I just wished the fj had a trip computer and better key fobs with engine starter. ..otherwise it’s very good buy.. Just booked the extreme in black!!
However there is a 3-4 weeks waiting period for the 2016 fj for all trims and extreme has only 3 colours…hope these details narrow it down for fj buyers…

Rear cross traffic alert (RCTA)**
Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury
Those sound like dealer-installed accessories. Thanks for the info.

No probz….well the extreme versions are modded by artic trucks..I’ve also heard that u can take ur fj’s directly to artic trucks instead of buying them from toyota.

Was Tesla there? I guess not! Perhaps, oil economies are the last places on earth where they want to show off their electric cars! They had a huge stand with cut away car models and all in Geneva motor show this year.
Vivek
I was at the show and saw no Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Porsche 918 or La Ferrari. Surprised!
Mahmood
Did Lexus display the 2016 GS/GSF @ the Dubai motor show ?
Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury
Yep, although it seems we forgot about it completely.
