The pickup truck market in Saudi Arabia is highly competitive, and the JMC Grand Avenue stands out as an appealing choice for buyers seeking reliability, power, and practical features. With the launch of the Pro edition, designed specifically for off road performance, the competition has become even more intense. The price gap is significant, exceeding 40,000 SAR compared to the standard model. This article highlights the key differences between the two versions and explores the features that make the Pro edition especially attractive to adventure enthusiasts.
Engine and Drivetrain
Each version carries its own character thanks to the differences in engine setup and transmission, which directly impact overall performance.
Grand Avenue Standard:
2.3 liter 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine
177 horsepower
6 speed automatic transmission
Rear wheel drive as standard
Grand Avenue Pro 2025:
2.3 liter 4 cylinder turbo petrol engine
258 horsepower
450 Nm of torque
8 speed automatic transmission from ZF
All wheel drive system
This setup gives the Pro edition a clear edge in both power and torque, making it far better suited for enthusiasts who enjoy driving across sand dunes and rough terrains in the Kingdom.
Off Road Performance Enhancements
The Pro version outshines its standard sibling thanks to a set of systems that make it better equipped for challenges on sand and rocky terrain.
Rear Differential Lock: Helps the truck escape sandy or rocky paths by giving the rear wheels equal power at all times.
Multi Link Rear Suspension: Superior to the leaf spring setup in the standard model, offering better ride comfort, improved axle control, and higher load capacity.
K MAN Nitrogen Shock Absorbers: Provide an extra 2 inch lift, making obstacle clearance easier while ensuring smoother performance on rough terrain.
These features allow the Grand Avenue Pro to combine hard work capability with enjoyable driving, fully justifying the significant price difference over the standard version.
Interior Comfort
Inside the cabin, the Pro version focuses on enhancing luxury to suit long daily use and demanding journeys. While the standard model comes with more basic equipment, the Pro offers a richer set of features.
Power seats: Driver seat is electric in both models, while the front passenger seat is electric only in the Pro.
Ventilated front seats: Exclusive to the Pro version.
Displays: 10 inch screen in the standard model versus a 12 inch screen in the Pro, with a 12.3 inch fully digital driver display.
Smart tech: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported in both, but the Pro adds wireless phone charging.
Air conditioning: Electronic system with air purification filter in both versions.
Safety: 4 front airbags are standard across both, while the Pro adds curtain airbags for extra protection.
The result is that the Grand Avenue Pro delivers a more refined and comfortable interior, making it the ideal choice for those who want a blend of strength and sophistication.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
The Grand Avenue Pro takes the lead in smart driving technologies with a suite of ADAS features not available in the standard version.
Shared by both versions:
Hill start assist
Hill descent control
Front and rear parking sensors
Rearview camera
540 degree camera system

Exclusive to the Pro version:
