Hi Guest
Dodge sells three cars in the UAE and no crossovers, no hybrids and no small hatchbacks. It is the last mainstream brand here still built entirely around rear-wheel drive and large petrol engines. Both of the coupés and saloons here are run-out cars: Dodge has stopped building them, closing a rear-drive line that lasted more than a decade.
How much does a new Dodge cost in the UAE?
From AED 129,900 to AED 389,900. Almost all of that spread comes from engines rather than equipment — the entry cars use a V6, and the supercharged Hellcat versions at the top sit in a different market altogether. A V8 model sits roughly in the middle of the range, which is where most buyers end up.
Which Dodge models are sold in the UAE?
Three, and they are variations on one idea. The Challenger is the two-door coupe, the Charger is the same thing with four doors and a boot, and the Durango is a seven-seat SUV built on the same rear-drive platform. Every one of them can be had with a V8.
Dodge Durango or Toyota Sequoia?
The Durango costs far less to buy, drives better than a seven-seater has any right to and comes with engines nothing else in the class offers — which is the argument for this whole range in miniature. The Toyota Sequoia is roomier inside, tougher over a long ownership and holds its value far more securely. Take the Dodge for character and price, the Toyota if the car must last a decade.
What does a Dodge cost to run in the UAE?
Fuel, rear tyres and insurance, in that order, and none of it is hidden — a V8 rear-drive car is exactly as expensive to feed as it sounds. The compensation is that these are old, simple, durable engines with cheap parts, and any independent workshop can service them. Depreciation, however, is the largest single cost of owning one new.
Is a used Dodge the better buy?
More often than with almost any other badge. Every model in this range gives back less of its value over five years than its class average does, which is punishing for a first owner and excellent news for a second — a used V8 frequently costs less than a new four-cylinder crossover. The condition of the drivetrain and rear tyres is what separates a good one from a bad one.
