The Toyota Auris, the hatchback version of the Corolla that is offered in Europe, has been redesigned for 2013. Set for a 2012 Paris Motor Show debut, this car serves as a preview of what to expect from the next-generation Toyota Corolla.
The gadgetry found in the top version of the latest 2012 Toyota Camry is the most advanced it has ever been for the Camry. Generally, GCC-spec cars for various brands are stripped down for maximum profit while keeping the price low, but Toyota has finally gone ahead and offered up a fully-loaded version of their bread-and-butter midsizer in the form of the SE Plus. So no one can complain about lack of features any more, as long as they’re willing to pay for it.
The new 2013 Kia Sorento has been officially unveiled, and while it looks like a minor facelift, the Korean carmaker claims it is an all-new design with a completely new platform.
The Subaru BRZ, the carmaker’s first rear-wheel-drive in a long time, has just hit the dealer in Abu Dhabi. It has already been launched in Oman and Saudi Arabia recently.
Let’s get it straight right off the bat that we aren’t equipped to do conclusive tests on tyres. Everybody has their own opinions on which brand is better or worse, but most of them are just hearsay and conjecture. We’ve always had an open mind about tyre brands, which is why we’ve used everything from Made-in-Germany to Made-in-China rubbers, depending on the car, none of which really failed us. So when Bridgstone approached us to try out their all-new Potenza S001 flagship tyres on our Honda S2000, we were wondering how we’ll compare it to what we already had on.
Good news or bad, but folks in London will shortly see their iconic “black cab” facing some stiff competition from the Japanese auto giant Nissan, in the form of the Nissan NV200 London Taxi.
The latest version of the Honda Accord has been revealed, if only in a few pictures. The 2013 Accord is generally a heavily-facelifted version of the old one, both in sedan and coupe forms.
The long-running Hyundai Santa Fe was overdue for a remake, given how its stablemates have evolved in the last few years. The first of the new Santa Fe variants will be in GCC showrooms by September.
Self-praising aside, DriveArabia.com is certifiably the most comprehensive and most popular consumer-focused automotive website in the GCC. That gives us a good insight on what cars people are researching these days. Mind you, researching and buying are two completely different things, but we can figure out from our data which car brands and models are generating the most buzz among the general car-buying population. It is easy to see the concerted marketing effort by certain manufacturers are paying dividends, while some are banking on their long-running earned reputation, and others are doing well purely because of good new products.
The Hyundai Veloster is probably the weirdest modern car on sale today. Aside from the fact that it looks spectacularly flashy, it has one more trick up its sleeve. Or rather, three.
