BMW X7
The 3.0-litre inline-six turbocharged engine pulls smoothly and quietly at city speeds. At idle, the cabin stays near-silent — AIRMATIC air suspension absorbs road imperfections on Sheikh Zayed Road without transferring vibration to passengers. When you accelerate to merge onto the highway, the 9-speed automatic responds instantly, moving all seven occupants forward without drama.
Inside, Nappa leather, open-pore wood trim, and a 12.8-inch MBUX touchscreen create something closer to a private lounge than a car cabin. Four-zone climate control keeps every row at an individual temperature — genuinely useful during Dubai summers, when the difference between direct sun and shade can exceed 15°C. 4MATIC all-wheel drive keeps all 2,490 kg stable and planted on wet roads during UAE winter rains.

Practical tip: Meeting a group of 5–6 travellers with full-size luggage? Fold the third row before pickup. You gain significantly more boot space while still seating everyone comfortably.
Seven passengers, seven pieces of luggage. The GLS handles both. With the third row folded, the boot accommodates 6–7 standard 24-inch suitcases. Keep all three rows up and you still have space for carry-on bags. Ventilated second-row seats are a genuine comfort after a long-haul flight.
Dubai Mall, La Mer, Global Village — the GLS moves the whole family between locations without splitting into two cars. The 360° camera system and parking sensors make multi-storey car parks straightforward despite the vehicle’s size. Third-row passengers, including children, get dedicated ventilation and USB charging.
The 140 km drive from Dubai to Abu Dhabi takes around 90 minutes. AIRMATIC suspension keeps the ride smooth at highway speeds, while adaptive cruise control reduces driver fatigue over the distance. Four-zone climate, massage seats, and near-total noise suppression mean passengers arrive fresh for meetings at ADNEC or the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
Seven colleagues, laptops, presentation materials, and checked luggage — the GLS fits all of it. Wireless charging pads and a premium Burmester sound system make the journey productive or relaxing, depending on the group’s preference.

Speed note: Dubai allows a 20 km/h buffer above the posted limit. Abu Dhabi does not — cameras enforce the posted limit exactly. Factor this in on the E11.
Two direct competitors available in our fleet: the BMW X7 and the Cadillac Escalade.
The X7 is slightly more compact, which can be an advantage in tighter multi-storey car parks. The GLS, however, offers a more spacious third row — genuinely comfortable for adults on longer journeys, not just for short hops. AIRMATIC pneumatic suspension also delivers a noticeably smoother ride on Dubai’s urban roads compared to the X7’s standard setup.
The Escalade delivers American-scale interior volume and a strong presence at VIP valets. But at 5.18 metres in length, it requires considerably more space to manoeuvre in dense parking areas. The GLS 450 is more compact without meaningfully sacrificing passenger capacity, and its MBUX navigation with augmented-reality overlays makes routing through Deira, Al Quoz, or Business Bay considerably easier than the Escalade’s CUE interface.

The verdict: If your priority is a balance of seven-seat capacity, premium German engineering, and practical city dimensions, the GLS 450 is the right choice. If you’re still deciding between vehicle classes, it’s worth browsing the full SUV rental selection in Dubai — options range from compact crossovers to full-size flagships.
The daily rate decreases with rental duration. Renting for a full month reduces the daily cost by up to 50% compared to a 1–2 day rate — a practical saving for extended business visits or family relocations. Full details on monthly car rental in Dubai are available on the dedicated page.
All rates are final. Brook Drive operates 100% without a deposit.
