I used to own a small, fuel-efficient petrol car that consumed around 7 liters per 100 km. Most of my driving was for commuting — around 65 km daily — and on weekends or holidays, we’d go for drives around Sharjah or head out for desert trips and camping. We even did a couple of long road trips each year. The car was great in the city, but the trunk was too small, and it couldn’t fit all the camping gear. What annoyed me most was the low ground clearance — I kept scraping speed bumps or rocks. So, I decided it was time for a change, and I started looking for a hybrid vehicle that could handle light off-road use. I came across the Jetour, and I was genuinely impressed. The design looks bold and premium. I started researching and comparing, and after a test drive, I was convinced it was the right fit for me. I’ve had it for about 20 days now and already driven over 2,000 km. We’ve taken it on trips — including mountain roads and rough trails — and the car held up really well. It handled steep climbs and sharp angles with ease, even in narrow, unpaved areas. Of course, I’d recommend some driving experience for off-roading, since it’s front-wheel drive, and on really steep inclines, the front tires might slip a bit. The interior is spacious — I was able to load all the camping equipment, and with the rear seats folded down, we laid out an air mattress and turned it into a bed for two! One of my favorite features is the external power outlet — we used it to run a kettle, coffee machine, grill, and even boil water for cooking or tea. It’s basically a complete outdoor setup on wheels. As for downsides, first is the wind noise — which is expected with its boxy shape. Second, the charging speed is a bit slow — it takes more than an hour to go from 20% to 100%, while other cars can charge at 60 kW in the same time. Lastly, the infotainment system needs improvement — it’s a bit underwhelming. But despite all that, I feel I made a great choice. It’s a hybrid, has a strong design, is highly practical, and suits my lifestyle perfectly — especially for those who love off-road adventures and camping.

Hey guys, I feel the T60 is a bit bumpy. What kind of suspension should I switch to for a better ride? Or what modifications would you recommend? (I don't usually carry heavy loads or go off-road, just occasional suburban trips.)

How do I adjust the headlight height on my 2021 Toyota Prado Off-road version? The headlight beams on my car are a bit high.

I recently filled up with 48 liters of fuel and only managed to drive a bit over 310 kilometers, all within the city. Why is the fuel consumption so high, even when using eco mode?

I'm a newbie... Can I ask how to drive gently to save fuel? I have a 2013 automatic GLS 2.0, and I can only get about 450 km per tank (-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩___-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩). I haven't been on the highway, usually just driving in the city at around 50/60 km/h, and on national roads at 80 km/h, never accelerated to 100 km/h...

Guys, many people are saying that the GV80 has issues with bumpy roads and uneven surfaces. Is this true? How can we go on road trips then? Could it be a problem with their mode settings or the electromagnetic suspension?

Off-road learning question: Do we have any experienced off-roaders here who can recommend which off-road tires to choose? I've been looking at the Cooper AT3 XLT, but I'm not sure about the real feedback after installing them.

Does this car have good off-road capabilities, suitable for road trips? The back seat seems really spacious, good for sleeping, right? I'm not too worried about fuel consumption since it's American, as long as it's not too bad. I'm just concerned that besides being big, it won't be like a car costing around a hundred thousand [facepalm][facepalm] How's the driving experience and all that?

How should I choose between this car and the Genesis G70? I'll be driving mostly myself, with occasional long road trips.

Off-road tires or all-season tires for the X model?

Ride Comfort: The car feels very stable at high speeds, which gives you a real sense of safety — especially thanks to the solid chassis. However, the seats are a bit firm, and on long trips, they can start to get uncomfortable. Fuel Range: On a full tank, I’ve managed around 650 km on the highway. In summer, or when the car is fully loaded with the A/C running, that drops to about 500 km. In the city, I usually get around 400 km per tank. With current fuel prices (I always fill up with 95), it basically costs me around AED 1 per kilometer. Performance: This is the part I really want to talk about — and complain a bit. With ECO mode turned off, the initial power off the line is decent, but that’s about it. Once you get moving, the car starts to feel like it’s struggling — like a small engine pulling a heavy body. If you don’t mind the loud engine noise, you might get a bit of excitement, but realistically, you’re running close to 4000 RPM for that. Overtaking at 120 km/h is tough; the acceleration just doesn’t keep up, and it feels risky. That said, I have to give credit to the car’s off-road capabilities — it handles rough or muddy roads surprisingly well and won’t leave you stuck.
