A surprise debut at the 2019 Dubai Motor Show was the 2020 Chevrolet Captiva. We didn’t quite realise what model it is until we saw the “Captiva” badge on the tailgate. It’s a decent-looking compact crossover, but it wasn’t until later that it’s really a rebadged MG Hector after a reader alerted us.
Yesterday, November 12, 2019, saw the opening of the region’s premier motor show – the 15th Dubai International Motor Show – at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
Launched in the UAE, we took the all-new 2020 Toyota Supra for a spin around Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi, and found it to be a car in need of a niche.
If you’re wondering why we don’t talk about our 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser any more, it’s because we sold it last year to a reader. And what a great car it was. Let’s take a final look at the running costs.
We road-test on and offroad regular-cab 2019 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss and RST models, which are exclusive to the Middle East in this body style.
The Ram 1500 is all-new for the 2019 model year, and we find out if FCA has done enough to take the fight to its cross-town rivals in this quick video review.
As comparison tests go, this isn’t the most exciting, but it is probably relevant to a whole lot more people than pitting Porsches and Ferraris against McLarens and Lamborghinis yet again (spoiler alert: Porsches and Ferraris are always better). What we have here today are the newest segment of vehicles to sprout from the SUV revolution — the sub-compact crossovers. Not quite SUVs, but not really cars either, the sub-compact crossover gives owners the feeling of driving an SUV while keeping ownership costs within car-like levels. The newest of the bunch is the Honda HR-V, going up against the immensely-successful Nissan Kicks.
Chevrolet recently launched the all-new 2019 Silverado pickup truck in the Middle East, as well as adding two exclusive models just for our region. The new Silverado is not only longer, wider and taller than the outgoing model, it is also lighter thanks to the partial use of aluminium for the first time in its construction.
The all-new Kia Telluride is the long-awaited replacement for the Mohave, and it appears to be almost as good as everyone hoped it would be.
We briefly drove the 2019 Kia Cerato at the Dubai Autodrome in the UAE. Here’s a quick review of the Korean carmaker’s latest compact sedan.
