  • Big and Confident Drive

    The Ford Explorer feels like a proper big SUV. I enjoy the height, it gives you confidence when driving on the road. The V6 engine has plenty of pull and doesn’t struggle even with a full load of passengers. I use it for family outings, and the seats are comfortable with good legroom for long trips. The sound system is pretty nice too for road trips. What I really value in the Explorer is the safety, there are multiple airbags and good driver-assist features like blind spot alerts. Yes, it takes more petrol compared to smaller SUVs, but if you’re looking for space and performance together, the Explorer will not disappoint.

  • Roomy and Family-Oriented

    I recently had the MG RX9 on a family outing around Abu Dhabi, and it was a wonderful experience. The SUV has three rows of seats and it is perfect for a midsize family, which accommodates everyone with ease, and the panoramic sunroof gives the cabin an airy and light feel. The ride was smooth on highways and even on rough roads. The infotainment unit was simple to use, and the audio system entertained the children along the way. I also felt secure due to the good construction and safety features. In spite of the dimensions, the RX9 did not feel clumsy to drive, and it was ideal for family outings and long road trips.
