‘EXEED’ all limits: The powerhouse of cars is here
It is the new power that can break the monopoly of traditional premium car brands.
This is the heartfelt praise of Exeed brand, issued by dozens of well-known Russian media after many days of a comprehensive test ride and drive. Less than a year after its launch, Exeed has won the “Breakthrough of the Year” award in Russia in 2019 and won unanimous praise from users in respect of the product, service, and brand.
Exeed is a new entrant in the global high-end car market, but it inherits the century-old history of the European auto industry and integrates the latest smart technology in China, which gives it the strength to challenge the traditional high-end car brands. It is expected to be released in Kuwait very soon.
As a new high-end brand, Exeed impressed the world with its bold design, luxury interior, and intelligent human-car interaction at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2017. Exeed stands shoulder to shoulder with traditional high-end automobile brands because of its inheritance of 100 years’ experience in the European automobile industry and the European automobile culture.
Munich, Germany, is the location of EXEED’s European R&D center. Nearly 100 global automotive R&D elites gather together to create a new automotive design philosophy in the interaction of technology, art and culture.
Exeed European R&D Center has a profound accumulation, which originated from the cooperation with Quantum LLC. The two sides continue to explore automotive forward-looking technologies with the determination and courage to revolutionize the automotive industry.
The strong alliance of the two sides has brought together over 100 designers and engineers from BMW, Jaguar Land Rover and other companies with first-class European standards and rich experience.
At the same time, it also attracted a number of automotive legends. Gert Hildebrand, former design director of BMW in Germany, was responsible for the design of many classic BMW models; Klaus Schmidt was served as the chief performance and chassis engineer of BMW in Germany, and in charge of the M series chassis development of BMW’s high-performance car, which accumulated rich experience and reputation in the industry; Peter Matkin is the former Jaguarchief project engineer at Land Rover, where he was responsible for the development of Range Rover, Land Rover Sport, and Jaguar XJ; Kevin Rice is the world-renowned design master and former chief stylist of BMW.
These European auto masters, with their profound experience accumulation, endows EXEED with pure European high-end fashion, and integrates the design concept of future cars.
Based on its strong core research and development capabilities, Exeed has also attracted many top European and American partners to join. Under harsh requirements of the new design concept and strict industry standard, Exeed achieves the perfect unity of handling and comfort in the chassis with Bentler, continuously upgrades the functions of electronic stability system of the body with Bosch, creates a very explosive and smooth power system with BorgWarner, and explores the new standard of vehicle occupant protection with Autoliv.
Thanks to the cooperation with Quantum, the technical layout of European R & D center, and the joining of top European and American partners, Exeed has accumulated abundant technology platform development and expansion capabilities. On the basis of absorbing the 100-year experience of European automobile industry, Exeed has continuously explored the limit boundary of automobile design and manufacturing.
Dubai continues to attract professionals, families, and digital nomads seeking long-term apartment rentals, thanks to its strong economy, modern lifestyle, and world-class infrastructure.
However, for newcomers, finding the right apartment that fits both budget and lifestyle can feel overwhelming.
Here are some of the top areas in Dubai for long-term rentals, based on tenant preferences, amenities, and rental trends:
Think luxury

1BR: Dh75,000 – 135,000
2BR: Dh110,000 – 200,000
3BR: Dh200,000 – 350,000
Market note:
Median rent sits around Dh130,000 across unit types
Waterfront views and newer towers push prices to the top end.
Palm Jumeirah (Palm Islands)
This is a completely different tier—think luxury, beachfront, and limited supply.
Typical annual rents:
1BR (apartments): Dh 140,000 – 200,000
2BR: Dh 250,000 – 350,000

A practical choice for professionals working in tech or nearby zones. Known for quieter living and relatively lower rents.
International City
Remains one of Dubai’s most budget-friendly areas, popular for first-time expats or singles.
Typical rents:
- Studio: Dh30,000–45,000
- 1BR: Dh45,000–65,000
Al Barsha
Well-connected (especially via metro) and still offers decent value compared to newer developments.
Typical rents:
- 1BR: Dh70,000–100,000
- 2BR: Dh100,000–150,000
Discovery Gardens
This is firmly in the ‘affordable but spacious’ category. This neighbourhood is popular with expats who want bigger apartments without Marina-level prices.
Typical annual rents:
- Studio: Dh 30,000 – 55,000
- 1BR: Dh45,000 – 72,000
- 2BR: Dh65,000 – 110,000

Market reality:
- Average rents sit around Dh 54,000 – 68,000/year, depending on unit type
- Studios start at Dh 47,000, while 2BR units can go up to Dh 110,000
- Still one of the best ‘space-for-money’ areas in Dubai, with larger layouts than newer buildings
How it compares
- Discovery Gardens: Budget-friendly + bigger units + metro access
- Cheaper than JVC and much cheaper than Dubai Marina
- Trade-off: Older buildings + less ‘premium’ feel
For expats prioritising affordability, older central neighbourhoods such as Al Karama, Bur Dubai, and Deira continue to offer relatively lower rents compared to newer communities.
On the fringe
Further savings can be found in areas like Al Qusais, Muhaisnah, and outer residential zones, where rents are more accessible, but often at the cost of longer commute times and fewer modern amenities.
Typical budget range (older areas):
- Studio: Dh28,000–50,000
- 1BR: Dh45,000–75,000
Why Dubai is still ideal for long-term rentals
- Flexible payment options (1–4 cheques or annual upfront)
- High-quality amenities (gyms, pools, parking in most buildings)
- Strong, expat-driven rental market
- Wide mix of luxury, mid-range, and budget communities
How to choose if you’re new to the city
With rising rents, the decision often comes down to trade-offs:
- Want energy and convenience? – Business Bay, Downtown, Marina
- Want space and community living? – Dubai Hills, JVC
- Want affordability? – Silicon Oasis, International City, Deira
In 2026, several residents are compromising on location to gain space or save 15–25% on rent, especially with hybrid work becoming common.
