The 2.5‑litre four‑cylinder engine delivers 182 hp and averages 7.5 L/100 km in city traffic, which suits a delivery fleet on UAE roads. Around 55,000–65,000 km the variable valve timing chain stretches, and the engine may lose up to 15 % of power. Owners often complain about rough idle and increased fuel burn after this mileage, while dealers tend to downplay the timing‑chain wear.

The front suspension bushings often corrode in the salty desert air, and replacing them costs AED 3,200 per axle.

Brake rotors develop uneven wear after 40,000 km, and resurfacing them runs AED 1,500 per set.

The electronic parking‑brake module can fail in extreme, and a replacement unit costs AED 4,800.

Finally, the coolant leak in the water pump appears around 70,000 km, and fixing the pump requires AED 2,900.

Fuel consumption climbs to roughly AED 650 per month when the vehicle runs 2,000 km in August with AC full blast. The compact sedan fits two parcels comfortably, but the rear seat limits larger cargo, making it less ideal for multi‑package routes. Desert sand can accelerate wear on the air filter, so expect a filter change every 10,000 km, which adds AED 250 to maintenance.
