Zarooq<\/a>\u00a0and Jannarally<\/a> are two names that spring to mind when thinking of UAE automotive brands. You can add one more to the list as this past week the Sandstorm\u00a0Al Reem was unveiled and is the first Emirati SUV. Marked as ‘Made in the UAE’, the 4×4 will be\u00a0first made available in local markets before expanding into the rest of the Arab region by 2019.<\/p>\n

Sandstorm Al Reem, taking the UAE by storm<\/h3>\n

Power comes courtesy\u00a0of a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and will presumably be available with various outputs\u00a0suitable\u00a0for different consumer segments.<\/p>\n

Little is known about the Sandstrom Al Reem at this time, however, several videos have started to\u00a0surface online giving us an indication of what to expect. So far, we’ve spotted a rear entertainment package, sunroof, leather upholstery, cruise\u00a0control, climate control and an analogue clock.<\/p>\n

The company will build 1,000 cars in the first phase followed\u00a0by a 6,000 piece run in the second phase. Without the Al Reem hitting showrooms, Sandstrom already has plans to launch a pickup known as the S24.<\/p>\n

The Sandstorm Al Reem will start production by the end of the year to coincide\u00a0with Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, which encourages the growth of industrial and manufacturing\u00a0sectors across the nation’s capital.<\/p>\n
