The most popular cars in Dubai, UAE:
The most popular models of cars tend to be Japanese or Eastern in origin, such as Toyota,
Hyundai or Mercedes. This is largely due to the heat of Dubai; cars from Eastern countries are
more designed for extreme heat and are therefore more durable in the middle of the desert.
The least popular brands are unfortunately those that produce some of the most stunning
luxury cars; names such as Lambourghini and Ferrari are rarely seen on the streets of Dubai, due
to the somewhat temperamental nature of their engines in the heat.
The key to car shopping in Dubai is to think around the heat. A black car may be the epitome of
style and luxury, but in the Dubai heat it will quickly become a torture chamber. There are a
huge amount of white cars in Dubai, and for good reasons.
The color scheme also applies to the interior, with again lighter colors being vastly preferable.
Leather, of course, is rarely seen.
Brands like Hyundai and Toyota are not exactly known for their luxury pedigree, yet they are
incredibly popular in Dubai.
Mercedes is a very popular brand in Dubai, and offer perhaps the best meeting of the world of
the luxury car buyer and the necessary caution needed in extreme temperatures. Models such
as the S Class are extremely high specification and will delight any gadget lover; the S Class was
the first car to have anti-lock brakes, power steering and a heated windscreen – all things which
soon became standard in the average family hatchback.
