Overview

China's leading automaker, Chery Automobile, introduced the premium SUV brand Exeed to the UAE in 2024. The Exeed RX is for those buyers who want a grand, opulent SUV that also has top features without a premium price tag. Some of its direct rivals are the Toyota Fortuner, Nissan Pathfinder, and MG RX8 in the mid-size SUV category. This segment appeals to families who prefer space, also want comfort, and look for modern technology. These buyers typically use the SUV for city commutes and weekend road trips across the Emirates.

What separates the RX from budget Chinese options is the complete focus on luxury and elegance. This brand is positioned as a premium option above the higher-volume segment, aiming to attract buyers who prefer established Japanese or Korean brands. The aggressive pricing makes the RX an exceptionally valuable buy, and it's difficult to ignore what it offers in terms of features and tech.

The 7-year warranty should provide much-needed confidence in the brand's promise of durability and reliability for longer-term ownership. This much longer time compared with most Japanese competitors underlines Exeed's commitment to the UAE market. The real test will be resale values and how the brand establishes its service network across the country.
