The Honda City has always held an odd spot in the market, too expensive to compete with other sub-compacts and too small to compete with larger compacts. But the all-new 2014 model has undergone a radical transformation, and it can finally justify its price now.
Toyota Motor Corporation has released a limited edition version of their flagship SUV, the Lexus LX 570, with a supercharger. Made exclusively for the Middle East market, only 200 units will be offered.
Nissan recently launched the limited edition 2014 Patrol VVIP edition in the region. Only 200 units will be available in the GCC.
The all-new 2014 Honda City has been officially launched for Saudi Arabia, UAE and other GCC markets, at a media event in Dubai.
The 2014 Hyundai Xcent is a new mini-sedan that’s built and recently introduced in India. Now the word is that it is coming to the UAE, aside from several other Middle East markets.
Al Habtoor Motors, the UAE dealer for Mitsubishi, held a “launch” party today for the 2014 editions of the Attrage sedan and the Mirage hatchback.
One of our readers caught this body-kitted 2014 Nissan Tiida at the Dubai showroom of Arabian Automobiles. The kit is now an optional extra, in case you are into that sort of thing.
If you remember, we took a 2015 Mazda 3 hatchback for a spin a couple of weeks ago, and found it to be promising. This week, we got the sedan version, essentially the same car with a boot, and got to dig deeper into what we were expecting to be the best compact car ever, given how good the Mazda 6 is.
The last time we drove a Toyota FJ Cruiser, it was 2007 and the recession hadn’t hit yet. Fast-forward to 2014, and that recession has become a footnote in history, but the FJ Cruiser is still around, not looking any different than when it first started out. Now, depending on which rumours you believe, the FJ is on its last legs, and the UAE dealer has created some special models to keep interest alive. One of those models is the FJ Street, a pre-pimped offroader that’s intentionally more about style than about offroading.
Lexus has apparently just launched a supercharged version of the LX 570 exclusively for the Middle East market, making its debut in Kuwait.
