MG RX8 launched in the UAE

Al Yousuf Motors, the exclusive retail partner for MG in the UAE, launched the all-new RX8 SUV at its showroom in Dubai. The first ever seven-seater from the British-born brand, the RX8 takes MG into a segment it has not been present to date. Impressively spacious, the MG RX8 has the largest wheelbase and the largest third-row space in its class, immediately setting it apart from its competitors.

Mohamed Yousuf, CEO of Al Yousuf Motors, commented: “The new MG RX8 is a true challenger model in the compact SUV sector. Not only is it the first ever seven-seater in MG’s 95-year history but it also offers unrivalled levels of space, premium features and in-car technology. I am confident that our discerning customers here in the UAE will not find a better package in terms of equipment and value for money in any other seven-seat SUV on the market.”

In terms of styling, the RX8 is bold with its chrome grille, 20-inch alloys, matrix-style LED lights, and six exterior color options, give it a commanding presence on the road.  Inside, the MG RX8 flaunts premium finishes at mainstream prices. Quality materials, including wood grain, chrome and soft-touch trim, gives the RX8 a high-class feel.

The RX8 is powered by a 220HP 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine that features Net Blue Technology and develops maximum torque of 360Nm. It is mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shift gear change. To take on lesser travelled roads, the RX8 is also fitted with a real-time 4x4 Torque on Demand (TOD) system that offers six different drive modes.
