Rent Exeed VX 2024 in Dubai

The airport pickup is where an Exeed VX 2024 rental in Dubai earns its keep: parents landing at DXB with a month of luggage, a group arriving for a wedding, in-laws who all need collecting at once. Seven seats, all-wheel drive and 254 horsepower make it the biggest car we rent in the Exeed range, and we can have it at your door in 1 to 2 hours, which matters when the flight lands tonight. Before you book it, though, read the luggage section below. Seven-seaters hide a catch that catches almost everyone.

Three usable rows

Plenty of SUVs claim seven seats and mean five plus a punishment bench. The VX is nearly five metres long with a 2.9 metre wheelbase, and that length goes into a third row that adults can genuinely sit in for an airport run or a dinner across town. Teenagers can live back there for a Hatta day trip. We'd still put the tallest passengers in the middle row for anything over an hour, but nobody arrives angry, and that's rare in this class. Access is civilised too, with the middle row sliding forward far enough that older relatives don't need choreography to get in.

People versus suitcases

Here's the catch. With all seven seats occupied, the space left behind the third row takes soft bags and cabin luggage, not a family's full set of checked cases. Seven people plus everything they flew in with will not fit, and no seven-seat SUV at this size fixes that. The workable versions of the trip: six people and one folded seat swallow a serious luggage load, and five people with the third row down get van-like space. Plan the pickup around that and the VX delivers. Turn up at arrivals assuming it all goes in and you'll be arranging a taxi for the bags.

Muscle and all-wheel drive

A full VX is still a quick VX. The 2.0 turbo's 254 horsepower moves it to 100 in 7.9 seconds empty and shrugs at seven aboard, so merging onto Sheikh Zayed Road loaded never feels brave. All-wheel drive here is about composure rather than dunes. This is a road SUV, sure-footed in the rare rain and stable at highway pace, not a car we'd point at soft sand. The 65 litre tank suits the job, covering days of family shuttling between fills. Two practical notes for the driver: at 1,940 mm wide it wants the larger parking bays, and a cabin this size appreciates a few minutes of air conditioning before you load grandparents in July. Child seats are compulsory for under-fours in the UAE, so count the little ones when you book.

Book it for the right job

Book the white VX when the passenger list is six or seven, or when it's five plus the kind of luggage that ruins smaller cars. Weddings, multi-generation visits, school holidays with cousins in town, that's its territory, and nothing else we run does it as calmly. If five seats cover you, the TXL is meaningfully cheaper to rent and to fuel, and you should take it instead. Salik and any fines pass to you as with all our cars, and cancellation stays free until 48 hours before pickup, which for flight-dependent plans is the clause worth remembering.
