Practicality & Everyday Usability

Despite its premium positioning, the VX PHEV remains highly practical.

Practical benefits

• True 7-seater configuration
• Large boot space (expandable)
• Flexible seating arrangements

The SUV is well-suited for

• Large families

• Chauffeur-driven or for business use

Its size and versatility make it one of the most convenient hybrid SUVs in the category.

The EXEED VX PHEV commands the road. Its styling is obviously targeted at the customers who are seeking a classy SUV with an executive style instead of a sporty or rugged off-roader.

The SUV has Leonid's signature grille in front, which is supplemented by the chrome accents and smooth LED lighting. The design is striking but elegant, which provides it with a premium identity.

Key exterior highlights

• Full LED headlamps with signature DRLs
• Large chrome-accented grille
• 20-inch two-tone alloy wheels
• Full-width LED tail lamps
• Panoramic sunroof 
• Well-built shoulders and a long wheelbase position

The VX’s five-meter length and broad-brimmed stance add to its dominance on the road, making it appear the same size as full-size luxury SUVs. 

EXEED offers the VX with 6 colour options: New Khaki White, Auroral Green, New Carbon Crystal Black, Aviation Silver, Havana Gray, and Dark Blue.

In contrast to most electrified SUVs that lean towards a futuristic minimalism, the VX preserves a classic upmarket SUV look, which might be more attractive to conservative UAE consumers.

Dimensions & Road Presence

The EXEED VX PHEV is a large SUV designed for families and executive travel.

Dimensions Overview

The wheelbase of 2900 mm and large footprint convert to spacious cabin space across all three rows. 

Unlike many hybrid SUVs that compromise on space, the VX maintains a true 7-seater layout, making it ideal for large families or chauffeur-driven usage.

The VX PHEV is also designed to provide a refined, smooth, and stable ride, rather than sportiness.

Driving characteristics

• Electric motors provide instant torque
• Silent and linear acceleration
• Strong highway performance
• Comfortable ride quality

The CDC electromagnetic suspension system is also one of the outstanding features, which adjusts the damping in real time depending on the road conditions. 

Also, the BargWarner all-terrain AWD system provides a high level of traction on various surfaces such as sand and desert conditions, which is significant in the UAE conditions. 

The outcome is a driving experience that is luxurious and confident in both city traffic and on long highway drives.

EXEED is also a comparatively young brand in the UAE, but it is gaining momentum as a result of its value-for-money offer.

Ownership advantages

• Affordable flagship SUV pricing
• Advanced hybrid technology
• High equipment levels
• Long driving range

VX PHEV is especially attractive to those buyers who desire:

• An up-market SUV that does not come at a premium price
• Reduced fuel consumption
• Cutting-edge technology

Pros & Cons

Strengths

• Very high power hybrid system (440 kW)
• Up to 1300 km combined range
• High-quality interior, including massage seats
• High-tech suspension and AWD system
• Monumental triple-screen infotainment system

Limitations

• New brand and limited data on long-term reliability
• Big size is not convenient in congested urban areas
• Not as sporty as performance-oriented SUVs

The EXEED VX PHEV is a radical and daring SUV that defies the common perception of what a luxury hybrid SUV should provide.

It combines:

• Luxury-level comfort
• Powertrain Hybrid High-performance
• Exceptional driving range
• Cutting-edge technology

--at a price that brings down a number of the established competitors.

It is especially reasonable as far as the UAE buyers are concerned because:

• Long highway driving needs
• Increasing popularity of electrification
• Family SUVs are in demand

While brand perception and long-term reliability remain areas to watch, the VX PHEV delivers an impressively complete package.

Overall Rating: 8.7/10

It is also one of the most equipped and technologically advanced hybrid SUVs in the market today in the UAE and a great alternative when compared to other more costly luxury brands.
