Even though the Grand Santa Fe is quite a decently proportioned SUV, Hyundai realised that there still is some room left at the top to fill. So here is the Hyundai Palisade, an eight-seater SUV that seems to want to take on full-size SUVs with a crossover platform, more like the Honda Pilot than the Toyota Land Cruiser.
With the crossover market booming over the past decade, with 7-seater options particularly popular in the U.S. market, Volkswagen finally jumped on the bandwagon and created the Teramont, their largest SUV. Built in the States and known as the Atlas over there, the Teramont is a logical addition for the GCC market as well, even if it is confusingly placed between the Tiguan and the flagship Touareg in terms of price.
Known for its bulletproof reliability in previous guises, the Toyota Corolla is one of the most iconic cars ever to be produced. Many decades into its production, the trusty Corolla sedan is entering its 12th generation. The fully revamped 2020 Toyota Corolla is based on the Corolla hatchback that was recently released in the United States.
With a couple of recalls accounting up to more than a million vehicles each, the month of October did have some impact on the car industry.
There was a lot of hype surrounding the Honda Integra Type-R when a 1997 example with 2,000 km on the clock sold for a whopping US$63,800 (Dhs 234,000) at auction. Just before that, a similar car with a mileage of almost 100,000 km sold for US$40,750 (Dhs 150,000). And those weren’t even Honda’s most special models, so it was only a matter of time before the S2000 got some attention. A first-year “AP1” model with less than 1,600 km was just sold for US$48,000 (Dhs 176,400) in the United States.
A multitude of 2019 Nissan Patrols has broken a Guinness World Record for the “Largest Synchonised Car Dance,” which involves the greatest number of cars moving in unison within a formation.
Nissan has expanded the long-running Y61-generation Patrol Safari range with the introduction of three new editions exclusively developed for the Middle East market.
During the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, Kia unveiled their Ceed Station Wagon model which followed the new Ceed Hatchback that was revealed a month before it. And now, they’ve brought out the 2019 Kia Ceed GT as well as the Kia ProCeed and the former is a proper hot hatchback with 201 hp.
The awkward-looking 2020 Kia Telluride full-size SUV made its public debut, surprisingly, at the New York Fashion Week. Looking somewhat close to the Telluride concept Kia brought out two years ago, the model is a bespoke example, fitted with off-road amenities.
Volkswagen, BMW, Ram and more. The past month of August recorded a number of recalls from different manufacturers which are listed below.
