It’s not often that a launch event is held for a minivan. But Kia felt the all-new third-generation version of their people-carrier is important enough to be highlighted, especially since they’ve added “Grand” to the Carnival’s name now. So off we went for a convoy drive in and around Abu Dhabi.
What makes a sports car? Should it have two seats or are five acceptable? Should it have two doors or is four okay? Should it only be rear-wheel-drive or will all-wheel-drive do? While Audi is generally seen as a maker of cookie-cutter sedans, they’ve been breaking conventions for a while now with a few of their niche models, such as the Audi TT Quattro and the Audi S3 Sedan. We drove both of them at the GCC launch event in the UAE.
The next SEMA networking visit will be held in UAE at the inaugural edition of Custom Show Emirates and is designed to create opportunities for U.S. manufacturers to meet buyers from GCC Countries. Retailers and wholesalers from Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan and India are also expected to attend.
Bentley has revealed the 2016 Continental GT, GTC and Flying Spur facelift models at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.
Koenigsegg have officially revealed the Regera at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. The Swedish manufacturer claims it is a more luxury version of their usual lightweight race-like road cars.
Honda have finally officially unveiled the 2015 Civic Type R at this year’s Geneva Motor Show.
Audi have taken the wraps off the second generation Audi R8 at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. Three variants have been released – the V10, the V10 Plus and the e-tron. The exterior design is an evolution of the previous generation, while underneath is where most of the changes have taken place.
We wanted a vehicle to take a trip from Dubai down to Abu Dhabi for some event, so we hit up Chrysler. They offered a 2015 Ram 1500 Laramie, a truck we last drove back in 2012, but figured we’ll give it another look. Nothing much has changed, has it? Well, some things have changed.
The Dubai Road & Transport Authority (RTA) has introduced yet another “special” number plate for cars, just a few months after introducing an optional new logo design for purchase. There’s also a compulsory new motorcycle number plate.
Some carmakers change a couple of headlights and shamelessly call their facelifted model an “all-new” car because, you know, we’re all idiots. However, Honda held a rather late media-drive event for their already-launched 2015 CR-V and they kept reiterating that it is, indeed, just a minor update. But from what we could see, there seems to be some substantial changes under the familiar skin.
