When I first saw it, I thought "this tiny thing can't handle Dubai" - but boy was I wrong! That tiny 0.7-liter engine with 49 horsepower is perfect for weaving through traffic in Deira and finding impossible parking spots at Dubai Frame. It's like driving a happy little bubble! The best part? I'm basically friends with petrol station attendants now
Driving this car feels like I’m part of a sci-fi movie, but right here in Dubai. The electric motor is whisper-quiet and super smooth, making my commute on Sheikh Zayed Road feel serene, even in bumper-to-bumper traffic. And the best part? The only thing coming out of the exhaust is water vapor. How cool is that? The cabin is a tech-lover’s dream –
My Mark X – yes, it’s a 2019 model, but it still turns heads! That 2.5-liter V6 with 203 horsepower is smooth and refined, perfect for gliding through Dubai’s traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road or cruising to Abu Dhabi without breaking a sweat. It’s not the fastest car out there, but it’s got this elegant confidence that I absolutely adore. The cabin fee
Okay, I’ll be real – the GT86 isn’t my everyday car, but oh my, it’s my favorite escape! That 2.0-liter boxer engine with 200 horsepower isn’t about raw power – it’s about balance and thrill. Driving late at night along Jumeirah Beach Road with the windows down? Pure magic. It hugs curves like a dream, and the low stance makes every drive feel like
After 6 months with my Izoa, here's my take. It's a fantastic city car. Zipping around Dubai, merging onto Sheikh Zayed Road is easy, and parking is a breeze. The AC is a lifesaver, cooling the cabin instantly in 45°C heat. For a desert picnic? It's fine on flat sand, but serious dune-bashing is a no-go. It's super comfortable in traffic with its s
In a city known for its flash, the Toyota Harrier is a different kind of statement. It's for those who seek sophistication without the need for a loud announcement. From the moment you see its sleek, coupe-like silhouette, you know it's not just another SUV. Driving in Dubai is defined by contrast – hectic traffic one moment, sprawling highways the
Living in Dubai means your car has to be a bit of everything. After two months with the Crown Kluger, I feel like it was designed specifically for that. It doesn't just handle Dubai life—it seems to understand it perfectly. My morning drive is a perfect example. The moment you step inside, you notice the quiet. The hybrid system is silent at low sp
My Toyota COMS is the most unusual car in my building's parking lot. It's a tiny, electric two-seater that looks like a golf cart decided to become a real car. And you know what? I absolutely love it. I don't drive it on Sheikh Zayed Road—that would be crazy! But for my daily life in Jumeirah, it's perfect. I use it to go to the nearby supermarket,
Owning a Toyota Supra in Dubai isn't about daily practicality. It's about passion. This car is my weekend escape. The moment you start the 3.0-liter engine and hear that roar, the ordinary world just fades away. Driving it on Sheikh Zayed Road is an event. You sit low, and the car feels incredibly wide and planted. The acceleration is brutal and in
The Toyota Lite Ace is not a fancy car. You don't buy it for style or speed. You buy it for one reason: it works perfectly for a specific job. For me, that job is my small business. I use it to deliver goods around Dubai. In that role, it's fantastic. The sliding doors make loading and unloading in tight spots in Deira or Al Quoz incredibly easy. T
I knew I was being a bit impractical when I bought the Toyota GR86. It's low, it's small, and it only has two doors. But every time I drive it, I can't stop smiling. This car isn't about being sensible; it's about pure fun. Driving here is a mix of experiences. On Sheikh Zayed Road during rush hour, you feel every bump, and the roar of the 2.4-lite
Let's be honest, in Dubai, a car can be a statement. And the Toyota Alphard makes a very specific one: you value extreme comfort above all else. This isn't just a minivan; it's a VIP lounge on wheels. My daily commute on Sheikh Zyed Road has been transformed. While others are just driving, I'm in the back seat (when my husband drives), reclining in
We've been testing the Toyota Wildlander for a few weeks here in the UAE, and it strikes a really interesting balance. It sits perfectly between a city-friendly SUV and a capable weekend adventurer. Around Dubai, its size is much more manageable than a full-size 4x4. Parking at places like Dubai Hills Mall is straightforward, and it feels comfortab
If you have a big family in Dubai, you need to know about the Toyota Innova. It’s not the flashiest car, but it’s the most useful one we’ve ever owned. It’s like a comfortable, reliable family room on wheels. Weekdays are all about school runs and shopping. The sliding doors are a genius feature in tight mall parking lots—no more worrying about kid
It's not a fancy car, but for getting around Dubai, it's absolutely perfect. The best thing about it is its size. It's so easy to drive in heavy traffic on streets like Al Khail Road and incredibly easy to park in busy areas like Deira or Bur Dubai. You never have to worry about finding a big parking space. The 1.5-liter engine is just right for th
When I first saw the Toyota Frontlander, I wasn't sure about it. But after three months of driving it in Dubai, I'm really happy with my choice. It's smaller than a Fortuner but more practical than a sedan, which makes it perfect for city life. Driving around Dubai is easy with this car. It's the right size for navigating busy areas like City Walk
I made the switch to electric six months ago with the Toyota bZ4X, and it has been a great experience for life here. The first thing you notice is how quiet and smooth it is. Driving on Sheikh Zayed Road is so peaceful without engine noise. The instant power is fantastic for merging into fast traffic. The big question for Dubai is the battery range
I’ve been driving the 2025 Toyota Crown for a few months now, and it’s honestly a perfect match for Dubai. It’s this unique mix of a comfortable sedan and a practical SUV. You sit a bit higher, which is great for seeing over traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road, but it still feels smooth and elegant, not like a big truck. The hybrid engine is the real hero
Our family changed to the Toyota Granvia this year, and it has made Dubai life so much easier. If you need space, this is the car for you. Driving such a big van on Sheikh Zayed Road felt scary at first, but you get used to it quickly. The best part is inside. The air conditioner is incredibly powerful and cools the huge space fast, which is essent
I've had my Toyota Rush here in Dubai for half a year. It's a practical choice for the city! Let's start with the positives. The car is very functional. You sit up high, which helps you see over traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road. It fits seven people, which is great for when I have relatives visiting. The biggest advantage is the cost. It's inexpensive
