Deepal S05, if you find one because they're all sold out 😞

Deepal S05 is good too — range-extended EV, so the engine only charges the battery and you get an EV drive without range anxiety. I rate it slightly below the Geely, but that ~20k saving is real.

Buy a new Deepal S05 and thank me later.

The S05 would be my top pick, and is honestly the best VFM hands down when you compare anything else in the EV/PHEV segment. For 89,900 AED you get a lot for the money.

AI summary — not a quote

The RAV4 Hybrid is widely praised for its exceptional long-term reliability and fuel efficiency, with some users citing examples of the vehicle reaching over 400,000 miles. While it is considered a better-driving and more powerful alternative to the standard gasoline model, it receives consistent criticism for its noisy cabin and an interior that some find outdated compared to newer competitors.

Pros

  • Proven long-term reliability with reports of extremely high mileage (400k-600k miles).
  • Excellent fuel efficiency and AWD capability.
  • Strong resale value compared to competitors like the Mazda CX-5.
  • Better driving dynamics and more power than the non-hybrid RAV4.

Cons

  • Significant cabin noise and poor noise isolation, even in higher trims.
  • Interior design and features are described as outdated or 'bare bones' compared to rivals.
  • High purchase price, particularly for the Limited trim.

The hybrid is slightly less noisy but still horrendous for the money a Limited hybrid costs.
