UAE is home to Dubai, the world’s most luxurious city. However, it is also a country of extreme temperatures, variable landscapes and unpredictable driving conditions. If you plan on driving between cities or truly exploring UAE, you’ll need a car that’s tough enough to cope with the nation’s less hospitable stretches of road.

Here at Simple Car Buyers, we’ve decided to help you choose one. We’ve created a list of three of the toughest luxury cars in the world. Any one of these vehicles would be perfect for tackling unforgiving, long-distance trips in UEA.

1. The Volvo XC90

The Volvo XC90 is one of the Swedish manufacturer’s finest creations. It effortlessly combines understated luxury with unimpeachable sturdiness. This capacious SUV is designed to deal easily with any road. It can also cope with the high temperatures associated with UAE and other punishing driving conditions.

It even boasts horsepower of over 300bhp and excellent torque. Despite it’s size, you won’t feel like you’re driving a slow and unwieldy behemoth – in fact, the car will surprise you with its nimbleness and agility.

2. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class

The G-Class is simply one of the toughest cars ever built by Mercedes. With the G-Class, the luxury manufacturer has created a huge, spacious and almost indestructible one of a kind vehicle. The G-Class offers drivers top-notch off-road capabilities along with a sturdy on-road driving experience.

Even the most unlikely and challenging driving conditions won’t phase this superlative 4×4. With a horsepower of 563bhp, it’s even more powerful than the Volvo XC90 (though it does come with a higher price tag).

3. The BMW 7 Series Saloon

If you’re not a fan of big, bulky cars, you could always opt a sleek BMW 7 Series Saloon instead. While these vehicles don’t offer off-road capabilities or the ability to drive over any surface, they are incredibly resilient thanks to BMW’s unparalleled commitment to high-quality engineering. A Series 7 Saloon will tolerate extremes of temperature and poor driving conditions admirably.

If you’re interested in investing in one of these luxurious yet resilient vehicles, you may wish to raise sell your current car. Find out how much you could get for yours today at the premier car selling site, Simply Car Buyers.

It seems that Dubai’s transport authorities want drivers to take their journeys at a more leisurely pace. The emirate plans to reduce the speed limit on two major roads. On October 15th, the speed limit on the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and the Emirates Road will drop from 120kmph to 110kmph.

But why exactly does Dubai want drivers to slow down when using these roads? The answer is simple: safety. An operation carried out jointly by the Dubai police and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) found that the two highways just weren’t safe enough for ordinary drivers. The operation found that both roads carry large quantities of traffic and have become accident black-spots as a result of excessive speeding.

Maitha bid Adai, chief executive of the RTA traffic and roads agency, explained the decision. According to Adai, the speed limit on these two major roads is being lowered as “a result of elaborate traffic safety studies and analyses of traffic accident data… the decision is mainly to curb traffic accidents resulting from over-speeding.”

If you live in or around Dubai and have to use these roads regularly, you may be wondering how this decision will effect your journey. On the one hand, using the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed road or the Emirates Road should be a much safer, less stressful experience when the new speed limit comes into force. However, your journey is also likely to take longer. If you use these roads on a daily basis and have a car that’s designed for speed, you might wish to consider investing in a car that’s designed for safety and comfort instead. After all, you’ll be spending more time in your vehicle whenever you use either of these roads, so it’s worth making the experience as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

There are a wide range of luxury cars available that are perfect for use on the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed and Emirates roads. What’s more, here at Simply Car Buyers, we’re happy to buy any car that you want to sell. If you want to sell your current, high-speed vehicle so you can invest in a new, safer and more comfortable one, get in touch with us today.

Dubai is famous for being one of the most affluent cities on Earth. If you live there, you probably want to participate in the city’s luxurious lifestyle by investing in a top-quality car. Unfortunately, luxury can be expensive, so buying a car that’s truly worthy of Dubai may be difficult if you have to adhere to a tight budget. However, you shouldn’t give up hope: there are a number of beautiful, top-quality vehicles available in the UAE for less than Dh45,000. In fact, we’ve compiled a list of our three favorites.

1. The 2017 Nissan Sunny

Nissan may not be widely recognized as a luxury brand, but the Sunny is a luxurious car nonetheless. Not only is it a gorgeous-looking vehicle, it’s also an incredibly comfortable one. It can also provide a smooth, responsive driving experience. Furthermore, it’s an incredibly safe vehicle, thanks to its anti-lock braking system and brake assist technology. It offers excellent value for money, too, as it can currently be purchased from some dealerships for as little as Dh43,000.

2. The 2016 Suzuki Celerio

Suzuki’s Celerio is an excellent car for residents of Dubai because it is specifically designed for driving around busy, complex cities. It is compact and maneuverable, yet it boasts a stylish outer shell that should look truly at home on the ultra-suave streets of Dubai. Crucially, it’s also surprisingly cheap. The 2016 Celerio can be obtained for just Dh31,900 if you’re willing to shop around. Even if you’re on a tight budget, you should find that the Suzuki Celerio is completely affordable.

3. The 2017 Chevrolet Spark

All Chevrolet cars look deliciously stylish and refined. The 2017 Spark, however, isn’t just a good-looking car. It’s also very fuel-efficient, making it ideal for anyone who drives on a daily basis. What’s more, it’s packed with convenient features, such as rear park assist technology and a tire pressure monitoring system. At Dh34,000, it’s also easy to afford.

New regulations on the degree of tint you can add to car windows in the UAE have caused a big increase in the numbers of drivers heading to specialist services. With the summer months underway and temperatures soaring, UAE car buyers and owners are taking steps to avoid the heat.

What has changed in the regulations?

Previously traffic laws allowed car owners to have up to 30% tint in their windows. This has recently risen to 50% and there is also now greater leniency on what type of car can have window tinting. Previously, cars used for business purposes were not allowed to add tint, but now company cars can enjoy the same 50% tint saturation, so UAE firms are flocking to take advantage of this.

This means that vehicles such as taxis and trucks can now tint their windows.

The new Federal Traffic Law, which went live on July 1st, still prohibits any darkening of front windscreens on cars, however.

What are the benefits of tinted windows?

Apart from having greater ability to absorb heat, keeping the inside of cars much cooler, darker tints to windows last much longer. Having windows tinted to only 30% means having to restore their effectiveness more regularly.

There is also the question of privacy for women drivers in the UAE. Being able to drive with windows closed but still remain relatively cool is a big bonus.

The sun is so fierce in UAE, it can also damage the interiors of cars, including the dashboard. Having the full force of the sun inside the car also makes it harder for air conditioning systems to do their job and not wear out. The new 50% tint allowance could ensure that air conditioning in cars is more effective and lasts longer.

Alongside the flood of enquiries from car owners to increase the degree of their window tint, auto accessory and repair facilities have reported a significant increase in air conditioning checks and recharges. Clearly drivers are doing all they can to make sure they drive in comfort.

Earlier this month, Lexus unveiled their latest saloon car – the new Lexus LS – and it’s as sleek and sophisticated as you’d expect. When it comes to luxury vehicles, Lexus’ experience and expertise are undeniable. Of course, many manufacturers offer luxury cars – so, what sets the Lexus LS apart?

The answer is simple: safety. Lexus’ latest offering is packed with cutting-edge technology designed to make the car as safe as possible, for both the driver and nearby road-users. The UAE’s roads can be tricky to navigate, especially in densely-packed, ultra-busy population centres.

Here’s a list of the most important features of the new Lexus LS for the safety-conscious driver.

1. Pre-collision and active steering assistance systems

The Lexus LS includes advanced sensory equipment that enables it to detect when a crash or collision is about to occur and react accordingly. In the event of an imminent collision, the pre-collision system will automatically slow the vehicle by applying the brakes while simultaneously tightening the occupants’ seat belts. Meanwhile, the Active Steering Assist system will detect whether braking is sufficient to avoid a collision. If it isn’t, the system will automatically steer the car in order to prevent a crash.

2. Hazard recognition and warnings

The LS can detect and recognise traffic lights. It can also detect pedestrians and traffic that might come across you at a junction. It is equipped to warn you whenever it detects danger and will even alert you when you’re moving from one traffic lane to another. In short, the new LS empowers you to be more aware of the road around you and any hazards that might be on it, thereby improving your driving experience.

3. Parking assistance

Even parking can be risky on occasion. That’s why the new Lexus LS includes parking assistance systems that make it easier.
