Polestar 4
Our verdict
Choose the BYD Ti 7 if you want a family SUV at a lower real-world price. It starts at AED 157,900 and offers 480 HP, a 5.3 s sprint, a fridge, a panoramic sunroof and up to 870 km of WLTP range. It is also longer (5,016 mm against 4,840 mm), and a 7-seater is coming from AED 179,900. Its warranty is listed as 6 years or 150,000 km, with 8 years on the battery, but that comes from a Saudi listing. Choose the Polestar 4 if you want a fully electric, quicker and more tech-focused drive: 544 hp, 3.8 s, 590 km of range, 200 kW DC charging and Google built-in. Its AED 159,900 'From' price is misleading, because the specced trim costs AED 214,900, and no warranty terms are published. Our pick for most Gulf families is the Ti 7 for value and flexibility. The Polestar 4 suits buyers who want an EV and can afford the higher trim.
