212 T01 Navigator & 2027 Adventurer Launched In The UAE Starting At AED 115,000

Legend Motors has expanded the 212 range in the UAE with the launch of the T01 Navigator and the updated 2027 T01 Adventurer. The Navigator joins the range as the more heavily equipped off-road version, while the Adventurer enters the 2027 model year with four new exterior colours and an unchanged starting price. The 2027 212 range starts from AED 115,000 and is now available through Legend Motors showrooms across the UAE.

What Is New?

The biggest addition is the T01 Navigator. It builds on the Adventurer with a larger body, higher ground clearance, wider tyres and extra equipment for demanding off-road conditions.

The Adventurer receives a lighter model-year update. Its mechanical package remains unchanged, but buyers can now choose from four new colours:

• Navy Blue
• Maroon Red
• Matte Silver
• Cement Grey

White, Green, Grey and Black are also available.

212 T01 Navigator: The More Capable Variant

The Navigator keeps the T01’s upright, boxy shape but adds a tiger-style grille, a muscular bonnet, raised suspension, and a rear-mounted snorkel.

It rides on LT 285/70 R17 tyres and uses nitrogen gas shock absorbers, giving it a more focused setup for desert and trail driving.

The Navigator measures:

• Length: 4,749mm
• Width: 1,945mm
• Height: 1,999mm
• Wheelbase: 2,860mm
• Ground clearance: 256mm

Its main off-road figures include:

• 43-degree approach angle
• 39.5-degree departure angle
• 28.1-degree breakover angle
• 910mm water-wading depth
• 100 per cent maximum climbing grade

The Navigator also gets centre, front and rear differential locks. Other equipment includes a wading hose, trailer receiver, fixed side steps, a 360-degree camera and a transparent chassis view.

2027 212 T01 Adventurer: New Colours, Familiar Hardware

The Adventurer remains the more accessible version of the T01. It measures 4,705mm long, 1,895mm wide and 1,936mm tall, with a 2,850mm wheelbase. Its kerb weight is 2,150kg, making it 115kg lighter than the Navigator.

The Adventurer offers:

• 235mm of ground clearance
• 40.3-degree approach angle
• 35.5-degree departure angle
• 850mm water-wading depth
• 80 per cent maximum climbing grade

It uses 265/70 R17 highway-terrain tyres and an AT2.0 off-road suspension setup. Centre, front and rear differential locks are also included.

Engine, Gearbox & Four-Wheel Drive

Both versions use a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing around 228hp and 410Nm of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and a part-time four-wheel-drive system. 

Drivers can choose between several driving modes: Standard, Economy, Sport, Snow, Sand, Rock, Mud, Wade, Mountain, and Uneven Road. Both SUVs use a body-on-frame construction with five-link suspension at the front and rear. An 80-litre fuel tank is standard.

Interior, Technology & Safety

The cabin uses a horizontal dashboard layout with physical controls positioned below the central touchscreen. Equipment includes a 12.3-inch infotainment display and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. Grey, black and brown interior colour schemes are available.

Other features include:

• Multifunction steering wheel
• Keyless start
• Engine stop-start
• Cruise control
• 360-degree camera
• Transparent chassis display

The Adventurer also uses a high-strength steel cage-style body and includes several active safety systems.

212 Navigator & Adventurer UAE Price

The 2027 212 range starts from AED 115,000 before VAT. A separate price for the Navigator has not yet been announced. Its final price may vary depending on the selected equipment and options. Both models are available through Legend Motors, the exclusive distributor of 212 vehicles in the UAE.

Editor’s Take

The Navigator gives the T01 range a clearer flagship model. Its larger tyres, higher ground clearance, snorkel, nitrogen shock absorbers and stronger off-road figures make it better suited to serious desert and trail driving.

The 2027 Adventurer remains the simpler and more value-focused option. Its updates are mainly cosmetic, but the unchanged starting price keeps it competitive with body-on-frame SUVs in the UAE.
