Review of the EXEED TXL (2023) in the UAE

Published

on

EXCEED Motors is an automotive division of premium sport utility vehicles introduced by Chinese automobile manufacturer Chery Automobile. The company recently announced its partnership with AG Auto, a division of Al Ghurair Investment. As part of the partnership, the companies launched three new premium vehicles into the UAE market. These included the VX, TXL, and LX models.

We recently reviewed the TXL model of EXEED and came away quite impressed by its overall build quality, ride quality, and features. The EXEED TXL is a midsize crossover, which is available in Premium Intelligent+ SUV trim. There are three variants available – TGDI Comfort which comes with a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine, the TGDI Luxury which comes with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, and the TGDI Flagship with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine.

As we explore the exterior of the EXEED TXL 2023, we find a striking front design adorned with a broad front grille, accentuated by an illuminated logo. The front also boasts full LED headlights, complemented by daytime running lights and front fog lamps for enhanced visibility. Moving to the sides, you’ll notice 19-inch wheels paired with 225/55 tires, along with body-coloured door handles, power-folding and adjustable side mirrors featuring integrated turn signals.

At the rear of the EXEED TXL 2023, you’ll be greeted by sleek LED taillights, a well-crafted exhaust system, and a stylish roof spoiler. Additionally, the vehicle has convenient cargo access and rear fog lights to ensure safety in adverse conditions. The exterior dimensions of this impressive crossover measure 477.5cm in length, 187.2cm in width, and 168.5cm in height, and boast a generous 280cm wheelbase, contributing to its spacious and balanced design.

Stepping into the interior of the EXEED TXL 2023, you’ll be greeted by a host of luxurious features. The cabin boasts plush leather seats, a multifunctional leather steering wheel and a front centre armrest with convenient storage. The versatility continues with foldable rear seats and adjustable front seats to ensure maximum comfort. Power windows, a panoramic sunroof, floor mats, a start/stop button, and a dual-zone air conditioner with front seat ventilation add to the overall convenience and sophistication.

When it comes to technology and entertainment, the EXEED TXL 2023 doesn’t disappoint. The centrepiece is a 12.3-inch touchscreen, offering easy access to various functions. Voice control comes in handy for hands-free operations, and a wireless charger keeps your devices powered up. For entertainment, the vehicle features a radio, Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, and an 8-speaker sound system by Sony.

Under the hood, the EXEED TXL 2023 offers two engine options. The first is a 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine generating 194hp and 294Nm of torque, while the second is a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 261hp and 400Nm of torque. Both engines are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission and an AWD drivetrain. Acceleration from 0 to 100km/h takes about 10.5 seconds, and the top speed reaches 185km/h. The TXL also provides a fuel economy of 14.5kmpl and gets a 55-litre fuel tank capacity.

Safety and driver assistance features are also included in the EXEED TXL 2023. These include an antilock braking system, brake assist system, electronic stability control, electronic brake force distribution, and airbags to ensure optimal protection. Advanced driver assistance systems such as lane keep assist, hill descent control, driver fatigue detection, traction control, and antitheft alarm further enhance safety. Additional safety features include blind-spot detection, lane change assist, lane departure warning, crash vehicle warning, rear collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and ISOFIX child seat anchors.

The ride quality of the EXCEEL TXL is brilliant. The suspension setup has been meticulously tuned to offer a comfortable ride. The plush interiors are a sight to behold, right from the leather seats, the infotainment system and centre console, and the voice-activated controls, to the safety features, which are all plus points. With its blend of modern technology, elegant design, and prioritised safety features, the EXEED TXL 2023 is a contemporary crossover that excels in all aspects.

Offering a luxurious experience with remarkable fuel efficiency and an attractive quality-price ratio, this crossover is certainly worthy of attention. Its innovative design and advanced technologies make it one of the most efficient and desirable cars on the market today.

EVLAB Intros UAE’s First Electric Vehicle Marketplace App

Published

on

EVLAB, the multi-brand electric vehicle start-up, has made adopting a sustainable lifestyle easier for drivers in the UAE with the launch of the EVLAB App, an all-in-one mobility app to rent, lease and host their EVs in the UAE with phase 2 to include buy and sell electric vehicles (EVs) available in the Middle East. EVLAB’s new one-stop marketplace app addresses a growing desire among consumers in the Middle East to make a switch to sustainable mobility solutions. Electric vehicle sales have seen rapid growth in the region, with an increase of 72 per cent during 2020 alone.

In line with the goals of COP28, EVLAB is committed to reducing CO2 emissions and fostering sustainable mobility in the Middle East, striving to play a pivotal role in catalyzing positive transformation. The new platform supports the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 strategic initiative, which is a national drive to achieve net-zero emissions and make the Emirates the first nation in the MENA region to do so. The app also complements other sustainability initiatives in the country, including the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030, which has resulted in the installation of more than 1,000 public charging stations across the UAE.

The EVLAB App allows eco-conscious drivers to browse a unique collection of electric vehicle brands available in the Middle East and take advantage of EVLAB’s expertise to understand the benefits of electric vehicles and make a seamless transition to sustainable transportation. Drivers can consider short-term rentals, leasing or hosting their electric vehicles through a seamless and hassle-free user journey.

The booking process is straightforward with easy navigation using the rent, lease, host and chat tabs on the homepage. Users can filter options based on brand preferences and features, such as performance and range, to save time and effort in finding an electric vehicle that suits their requirements and budget. All the listed cars and their hosts are vetted to guarantee authenticity and quality of service by the owners. In phase 2, electric vehicle owners can also conveniently sell their vehicles on the platform with guidance from EVLAB’s experts at every step of the way.

“With the accelerated pace of climate change, the adoption and transition to e-mobility is inevitable. At EVLAB, our ongoing goal is to consistently reduce emissions, and we are proud to say that we have successfully saved a cumulative total of 76,174 kilograms of CO2 to date and will further reduce with the EVLAB app. The all-in-one EVLAB App complements our EVLAB website with a broader range of functionality and services to make the eco-mobility journey easier for drivers in the region. The app allows users to rent, lease and host their electric vehicles seamlessly in a safe and trusted marketplace. As battery technology is rapidly evolving, the range of electric vehicles today will become obsolete in two to three years, so this model of renting and leasing becomes more attractive than buying. Consumers will have the additional ease of choosing their preferred electric vehicle based on their budget and lifestyle by selecting from a variety of options, including performance, acceleration, range, and charging times,” said Kevin Chalhoub, CEO and Founder of EVLAB.
