Saudi Arabia's first World SUV: SAUDI GAZAL

At last the day has come when One of the largest producers of oil produced its own World SUVs:

The SAUDI GAZAL 1.





The people of Riyadh and Jeddah were to begin to get tired of seeing their streets overrun by the Porsche Cayenne, HUMMER and other Range Rover. Still, only 50 engineering students at King Saud University had the idea to develop a 100% Saudi SUV, almost.








Based on a Mercedes G-Class, which we recall was in 1979, a Saudi Gazal was developed with the help of bodybuilders Austrian Magna Steyr first Italian StudioTorino.

In terms of style, we grant you, it is far from being as innovative as the D8 Peking-to-Paris will soon be the first SUV Netherlands. One might even guess here and there, some features of the old 4x4 Korean Daewoo Korando SsangYong then.

However, technology issue, in addition to off-road abilities, the Saudi Gazal one wants to be more innovative with air conditioning developed specifically for extreme changes in the Middle East.

According to Economic Times, 500 million are still needed for the vehicle can be manufactured within two years to 20,000 copies annually. Production partnerships are envisaged with Motorola, Mercedes and the Canadian branch of Magna.
