Al-Futtaim Lexus has officially rolled out the latest iteration of the Lexus IS in the UAE. While it might look familiar to fans of the Japanese marque, the updated rear-wheel-drive IS350 brings a host of under-the-skin handling tweaks, heavily upgraded cabin tech, and some aggressive styling touches to keep it competitive in the fierce compact luxury sedan segment.
According to Al-Futtaim Lexus Managing Director Jacques Brent, the focus for this update was refining the “dialogue” between the car and the driver, evolving the daily driving experience while retaining the IS’s signature ride comfort.
Here is a breakdown of what is new for the latest Lexus IS350.
Most automotive brands claim a visual philosophy. Few can point to one that holds together from sketch to finished vehicle. LEPAS, the Chinese marque preparing to launch in the UAE this year, is built entirely around a single creative conviction: nature remains the most reliable source of great design. Chief Designer Ivan Dulanovic recently spoke with regional media in Dubai to explain how that conviction translates into the cars themselves.
The Saeed Juma Al Naboodah Group, distributor of Great Wall Motor (GWM) in the UAE, has officially unveiled the all-new HAVAL V7 midsize SUV in the local market.
Positioned as a versatile SUV aimed at urban drivers who also want light off-road capability, the HAVAL V7 blends everyday comfort with selectable terrain-focused driving modes.
SOUEAST UAE, distributed by Elite Group Holding, has launched the all-new SOUEAST S08DM in the UAE. The seven-seater plug-in hybrid SUV enters the market with a focus on combining performance, efficiency and practicality for family buyers.
AGMC, the official distributor of Geely in the UAE, has announced the arrival of the 2026 Geely Coolray, a compact crossover SUV aimed at urban drivers seeking a combination of performance, technology and distinctive styling.
The Coolray has been one of Geely’s strongest-selling models both globally and in the UAE, and the updated version builds on that success with refreshed design elements, upgraded technology and enhanced comfort features.
The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series is one of the few vehicles in the UAE that needs little introduction. Long after most SUVs shifted toward comfort and screens, the Land Cruiser LC70 stayed focused on durability, mechanical strength, and off-road reliability.
For 2026, Toyota continues that formula, confirming the LC70 Series remains available in the UAE with updated safety tech, a six-speed automatic gearbox, and familiar V6 power.
Following its UAE debut, the all-new Mitsubishi Destinator was recently put through its paces at a dedicated media test drive event hosted by Al Habtoor Motors at Dubai Autodrome.
Al-Futtaim Toyota has expanded its Gazoo Racing (GR) portfolio in the UAE with the launch of two new performance models: the GR Corolla and GR Yaris. The move strengthens Toyota’s high-performance offering in the region, as interest in enthusiast-focused and track-capable vehicles continues to grow.
Toyota has been present in the UAE for over 70 years through its partnership with Al-Futtaim. While the brand has traditionally been associated with durability and reliability, it has in recent years strengthened its performance credentials through Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR), bringing motorsport-derived technology to road cars.
Toyota has officially launched the all-new 2026 Toyota RAV4 in the Middle East, marking a full model change for one of the brand’s most popular SUVs globally. The latest generation brings updated styling, improved driving dynamics, expanded technology and Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system as the core powertrain for the region.
Originally introduced in 1994 as one of the first monocoque SUVs, the RAV4 helped define the crossover segment by combining passenger-car comfort with SUV practicality. Over nearly three decades, it has remained a strong seller worldwide, including in the Middle East.
