Park one outside a cafe and people walk over to ask what it is. That's the Rox 01, the big squared-off SUV from the new Chinese brand Roxmotor, and if you've searched "Roxmotor 1" that's the car you mean. We'll clear up the name first: it's sold as the Rox 01, sometimes written Roxmotor 01, and it's the same vehicle. You can rent the Roxmotor 1 in Dubai from us with no security deposit held against your card and free delivery to your door. The case this page makes is that the Rox 01 is a roomy, high-tech family statement SUV for road and light tracks, not a hardcore dune tool, and it's brand new here, so book ahead.
What the Rox 01 actually is
Strip away the styling and this is a large six or seven-seat SUV with an upright, almost military-flat body and a tall greenhouse. It looks rugged because the design wants it to. The flat panels, the squared wheel arches, the boxy roofline all read like something built to climb mountains. What sits underneath is a comfort-first family SUV with an electrified drivetrain, closer in spirit to a big road cruiser than a stripped-back trail truck.
If presence is the point of your trip, the content shoot, the family arrival, the week where you want the car to feel like an event, the Rox 01 delivers that better than almost anything at its size. Few people in Dubai have seen one yet, and that novelty is half of why you'd rent it over a familiar badge.
The cabin is the real reason to book
This is where the car earns its keep. Step inside and the Rox 01 feels modern in a way the outside only hints at. Large screens run the dashboard, the materials feel a step above what the new badge might suggest, and the seats are wide and supportive for long stints on Sheikh Zayed Road. It's quiet at a cruise and the tech is the headline, not an afterthought.
Space is genuine. The two front rows seat adults in comfort, and the third row works for kids easily and shorter adults on a run to Abu Dhabi. Fold the rearmost seats and the load floor takes a real family week of luggage. If you're carrying six or seven people regularly, ask us which seat layout is on the car before you book, because the configuration changes how much boot you keep with everyone aboard.
Electrified, and what that means for your week
The Rox 01 is offered with an electrified drivetrain, the range-extender and hybrid type rather than a pure petrol engine. In plain terms, that means strong, smooth pull away from the lights and quieter running than a big V8 SUV, which suits Dubai traffic and the stop-start of mall car parks. The range-extender setup uses a petrol engine to keep the battery topped up, so you're not hunting for chargers on a long drive the way you would in a full EV. You fuel it like a normal car and get the electric-style smoothness on top.
For a renter, the practical upside is refinement and easy low-speed manners in the city. We'll confirm the exact drivetrain on the car you're given at handover, since the spec can vary, and we'll tell you how it likes to be fuelled so the Abu Dhabi or Al Ain run is straightforward.
The off-road truth, and the size question
Here's the honest part. The Rox 01 looks like it should eat dunes, but it's built for road and light tracks, not for soft Liwa-style sand or a rocky wadi. Treat it as a capable all-weather family SUV that's happy on graded desert roads, resort approaches and the smooth stuff, and it's excellent. Point it at deep sand and you want a body-on-frame 4WD with a proven record instead, a Nissan Patrol or a Land Cruiser, both of which we rent. We'd rather steer you right than have you stuck out past Al Qudra.
Size is the other thing to weigh. This is a wide, tall car, and it parks like one. Multi-storey structures at Dubai Mall or Marina Mall are fine once you've got the width sorted, but pick an end bay where you can, and the high seating makes placing it easier than the footprint suggests. The AC pulls a baking cabin down quickly, which matters far more than any spec sheet in a Dubai July.
Rox 01 or a familiar boxy SUV
This is the real call. Against an established square-bodied SUV, a G-Class or a Land Cruiser, the Rox 01 is the bold newcomer. It gives up badge recognition and a proven track record, and it wins on cabin tech and the sheer "what is that" factor. Want the safe, known quantity with decades behind it? Take the established car. Want the newest, most screen-led big SUV on the road and the fun of driving something nobody can name? The Rox 01 is the one. We'd send first-time visitors who want a guaranteed familiar drive to the proven badge, and confident drivers chasing novelty to the Rox.
One caveat we won't hide: the brand is very new here, so fleet numbers are limited and the exact trim and colour can vary. Tell us your dates early and we'll confirm what's actually available rather than promise a car we can't hand over.
Getting the keys
We bring the Rox 01 to you with a full tank and the Salik tag fitted, run the walkaround together, and collect it from wherever you finish, with delivery and collection free across Dubai. Have your documents ready: UAE residents need an Emirates ID and a valid UAE licence, and visitors need a home-country licence plus an International Driving Permit and a passport with the entry stamp. Insurance is already on the car, Salik tolls bill automatically, and we'll explain how any fines are settled at the end so there's nothing to puzzle over later.
FAQ — Common Questions Answered.
Is the Roxmotor 1 the same as the Rox 01?
Yes, they're the same car. The vehicle is officially the Rox 01, made by the Chinese brand Roxmotor, and people often search for it as "Roxmotor 1" or "Roxmotor 01." It's a large, boxy, high-tech SUV that's new to Dubai. When you ask us for a Roxmotor 1, we know you mean the Rox 01 and that's what we'll deliver.
How many people and how much luggage fit in the Rox 01?
The Rox 01 is a large six or seven-seat SUV, so it carries a family comfortably with room to spare in the first two rows. The third row suits children and shorter adults best, and folding it opens up a generous boot for a full week of luggage. The exact seat layout can vary by car, so tell us if you need all the seats and the boot at once and we'll match you to the right configuration. For most family trips around Dubai it has the space you need.
What kind of drivetrain does the Rox 01 have?
The Rox 01 is offered with an electrified drivetrain, the range-extender or hybrid type rather than a pure petrol or pure electric setup. That gives you smooth, quiet, strong pull in city traffic without the charging worry of a full EV, because a petrol engine keeps the battery fed on long drives. You fuel it like a normal car. We'll confirm the precise drivetrain and how to fuel it on the car you're given at handover.
Can I take the Rox 01 into the desert?
Keep it to graded desert roads, resort approaches and sealed routes, where it's comfortable and capable. Despite the rugged looks, the Rox 01 is built for road and light tracks, not soft sand or rocky wadis, so deep dune driving calls for a proper body-on-frame 4WD instead. If real off-road is the point of your trip, ask us for a Patrol or Land Cruiser and we'll set you up. For everything a family does on Dubai's roads, the Rox 01 handles it well.
Is the Rox 01 easy to get on short notice in Dubai?
Because the brand is very new here, fleet numbers are limited, so it's harder to guarantee than a long-established model. The best move is to give us your dates as early as you can, and we'll confirm exactly what's available rather than promise a car we can't hand over. Trim and colour can vary with a newcomer like this, so we'll be straight with you about what's on the ground. Book ahead and your chances are much better.
