What matters in the Gulf
Range at 130 km/hThe speed Gulf motorways are actually driven at — not the ~46 km/h of the official test. These figures come from our published model — pack size, rated range, its cycle and body shape — not from a road test.
373 km
Heat Score (of 100)The share of rated range expected to survive a typical 45°C Gulf summer day.
63
EV Gulf Score (of 100)One number blending heat range, charging, value and dealer support — published formula, pure EVs only.
56
Ground clearanceSpeed bumps, unpaved compound roads and desert tracks — a real buying criterion here.
