GAC GS8
The design of the GS8 is quite unconventional, especially when compared to what is available to other vehicles in its class. Overall, the GS8 looks more advanced than other mid-size SUVs in our markets. Does this mean it is the best? This depends on your concept of the ideal multi-use vehicle. If you prefer it elegant, spacious, modern, with a high-end executive presence on the road and most importantly, with a price and cost that are provided through a dealer such as Gargash Motors its exclusive agent in the UAE, that provides a distinguished after-sales service, then the GS8 is Exactly what you need.

Toyota Land Cruiser LC 300
When we talk about Toyota Land Cruiser, we cannot just talk about an ordinary vehicle with a boxy body resting on a sophisticated chassis wrapped in a spacious, fully equipped cockpit, but a car with a legendary aura that made it considered by the majority of its owners as a member of the family, especially in our Arab region.
Inside the cabin, the interior is characterized by a remarkable attractiveness thanks to the high quality materials used in the design, and the attention to the finest details. The interior design maintains high levels of refinement even in hidden areas, and extends across all surfaces, such as the base of the cup holders and the speaker grille integrated into the doors.

Jeep Grand Cherokee L
With a fragrant off-road reputation and a three-row interior available for the first time on this popular model, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L is an adventure vehicle with plenty of room for the whole family. While this vehicle will likely outgrow its life on the road, it has several off-road capabilities, including adjustable air suspension, a rear limited-slip differential and three different Quadra four-wheel drive modes. In terms of luxury, even the most austere trims offer a comfortable and well-designed cabin.
Technology plays a big role in the Grand Cherokee L, with a large number of displays spread across the interior and a range of driver assistance features available as standard.

Cadillac Escalade
When the Escalade was born two decades ago, it was supposed to benefit from Cadillac's rich legacy and rich reputation, which has become over the years a symbol of excellence and sophistication, but it was the car and not the brand, that added to this balance more distinction, opening up new horizons for the Cadillac brand. It once again placed it on the list of the most desirable cars by consumers in the category of utility vehicles.
The Escalade offers the ability to accommodate seven passengers, and all its trims can optionally be equipped with a long second row that increases the capacity to accommodate eight passengers, with the exception of the Premium trim, which is exclusively equipped with a separate second row.
The Escalade's interior is rich in luxurious leather, wood-like plastic and some shiny accessories, and the aristocratic spirit dominates the cabin design in a way that makes it far from what can be found in the cabins of the Tahoe or Yukon. As for the dashboard, it has the largest curved screen in the automotive industry, representing the virtual instrument panel.
The Escalade's 420 horsepower V8 engine is connected to a ten-speed automatic gearbox that contributes to saving fuel consumption and in harmony with an advanced suspension device that provides smooth and stable handling at the same time.
