Video review: 2019 Nissan Maxima in the UAE
We drove the facelifted Nissan Maxima at the launch event in Dubai to see what’s new and if it’s still a relevant premium sedan, as well as explain the difference between the SV and SR trims.

Kia is no stranger in the full-size SUV 7-seater market, having already had the Mohave in their lineup for the past decade. However, despite being forcefully kept on life-support, the Mohave never really caught on with the general public as their other more-modern models have. Hoping to change that, Kia has now introduced an all-new model, the Telluride. We were invited to a media launch event in Dubai to try it out on a pre-determined route.
We test-drove the Aston Martin Rapide S Shadow Edition, which is quite possibly the most attractive four-door car around. And probably one of the last V12-powered cars ever.
Our family wagon, the 2014 Nissan Patrol LE, got a major service in late September 2018. Here’s a rundown on how much it costs from the dealer.
Here’s our quick video review of the all-new 2019 Nissan Altima as we drove it around Dubai during the GCC launch event.
We drove the all-new Rolls-Royce Cullinan in Dubai. The brand’s first ever 4×4 takes its place at the top of the SUV pile while retaining everything that a Rolls-Royce is known for.
Here’s our quick video review of the all-new Bentley Continental GT that we drove from Dubai to Jebel Jais.
The past year has been major when it comes to midsize sedans — if you can call that niche major any more. All-new versions of the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord debuted in 2018, and their sales have already stagnated as consumers increasingly gravitate toward crossovers. Meanwhile, Ford and GM announced plans to kill off their sedan models in some markets entirely. That means the segment, shrinking or otherwise, will continue to be dominated by the Japanese, especially now that Nissan has debuted their all-new Altima.
The Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign made its Middle East debut at the Dubai Autodrome, as part of a global tour.
With the rise of crossovers dominating over every other automotive niche, there was a glaring hole in Honda’s local line-up that cars like the Nissan Kicks, the Renault Duster and the Ford Ecosport have been playing for the past few years. That gap has now been filled with the introduction of the Honda HR-V, reviving a nameplate that’s been dormant here since the turn of the millennium.
