  • Family Friendly SUV

    I bought the Nissan X-Trail because I needed something larger for family outings and trips across the Emirates. The space inside is the real winner for me, kids sit comfortably at the back, and the boot takes in shopping bags, strollers, or even luggage for a weekend away to Fujairah. The driving is smooth and the higher seating position makes me feel more confident on the road. The 4x4 mode is handy if you want to take it a bit off-road, though it’s not a hardcore desert basher.

  • Big and Comfortable

    My Toyota Highlander has been a blessing for family trips. The three-row seating is exactly what I needed for my family, and everyone sits comfortably without feeling packed in. The engine has enough power to handle both highway cruising and occasional off-road routes. I like the smooth drive, it feels big on the outside but easy to handle behind the wheel. The features are also well thought out, from Apple CarPlay to multiple USB points, which keeps the kids entertained and devices charged. AC vents are provided for every row, which is a life-saver during the summer. Yes, fuel consumption is higher, but it’s fair for this size. If you want comfort and space, it’s really worth considering.
