  • PRESS RELEASE

Consumers in the UAE are revelling in the opportunity to return to the glory days of the '60s and '70s 'Muscle Car' with the launch of the new Chevrolet Lumina Coupe.

Al Yousuf Motors, supplier of Chevrolet vehicles to the UAE for 25 years, has experienced record demand for the high-performance models.

Boasting the power, technical advancements and modern styling of today, the Lumina Coupe offers drivers an unbeatable combination of space, comfort and style with sophisticated safety features and a high performance engine worthy of a racing car.

"Our sales team were taking calls and enquiries about the Lumina Coupe over a month before it was even launched in the UAE," said Eqbal Al Yousuf, Vice Chairman, Al Yousuf Group. "Now that the model is available and on display in our showroom, we are receiving an average of ten calls and over 15 walk-in customers every day. None of our customers walk past the Lumina Coupe without a longing look and complementary comment."

The impressive performance and competitive price point of the Lumina Coupe, coupled with its sleek styling and extensive features make it a car that demands to be driven, have been cited as the major reasons for the model's popularity.

While the high-performance 5.7L V8 Corvette engine of the Lumina range is doubtless a strong drawcard for automotive enthusiasts, the Coupe's striking, streamlined look says it all - power, precision and performance combined in one exhilarating driving experience.

"We have had instances of customers walking into the showroom to look at other models, yet when they saw the Lumina Coupe they would not leave without a test drive," commented Al Yousuf. "Every customer that has taken a test drive has been extremely impressed with the handling and performance of the new model - it really is a dream drive."

Engineered specifically for the tough conditions of the Middle East, Lumina is the only rear wheel drive car in its class that boasts superior passenger and luggage space, robust performance and precise handling. Combining the essential elements of safety, style, comfort and strength in each model, there is little wonder that the Lumina range is so popular across the region.

Al Yousuf Motors displays the widest range of Lumina models in the UAE at its state-of-the art showroom on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai. Dedicated to offering the highest levels of pre and after-sales customer services in the UAE, Al Yousuf's grand-scale, fully air-conditioned and equipped workshop - the largest of its kind in the Middle East - offers superior levels of after-sales support even in the hottest months.

Key features of the Lumina SS Coupe include • Alloy Wheels with Low-Profile 235/45 V-Rated Tyres • 4-Speed Automatic Transmission • Sports Suspension • Rear Spoilers • Colour-Coded leather Interior Trim and Instruments • Projector Head Lamps • Fog Lamps • Blaupunkt In-Dash 6-Disc CD Player • Fingertip Access to the Sound System • Driver Information Centre • Dual Air Bags • Air Conditioning • Anti-Lock Brakes and traction control • Power Door Locks • Power Windows • Safety Cage Construction • Cruise Control
