Pedestrian Safety Meets Smart Driving in the Renault Koleos

AWR Automotive is aiming the Koleos at the school run, and the pitch is a hologram speedometer sitting in your line of sight plus a speed limit alert for the stretch outside the gate.

Nissan Expands Connected SUV Offering With Refreshed 2026 Pathfinder in the UAE

Remote start and climate control from your phone, on a Pathfinder, in a UAE summer. CCS 2.0 arriving on the 2026 refresh is the update that will matter most day to day, more than the new grille does. Still eight seats, still the 271hp V6, and a new Grayish Turquoise that looks much better than the name suggests.

Ford makes the case that a four-door electric SUV is still a Mustang: 358kW, 950Nm, 0–100 in 3.5 seconds in GT form, 419km of range, and a 1,420-litre boot the 1964 car could never have offered.

Nissan Pathfinder: The Family SUV Ready for Every Back-to-School Journey

Nissan Reveals the Design Code Behind Its Brake Caliper Colours

Silver, red, gold, yellow — Nissan finally writes down what its caliper colours have meant since the R34. Gold means Brembo, yellow means carbon-ceramic, and there is a reason the GT-R50 broke the rule.
