Females are finally getting their day behind the wheel as Saudi Arabia lifts the ban on women driving this Sunday. This monumental step not only grants women in the Kingdom more independence, but also allows auto-fanatic females to explore the delights of driving. For those style-centric drivers, good design doesn’t stop at the garage. Cars, not unlike an outfit, say a lot about our personal style, so why not own something that’s both exhilarating to drive and to look at? We’ve put together a list of our favorite automobiles that will please the motor-heads and design-minded alike.
Rolls-Royce is the pentacle of automobiles, and the brand’s convertible, Dawn, does not disappoint. Rolls-Royce’s bespoke program allows buyers to make their chariot as chic as they’d like; want to match your car to your favorite Chanel lipstick? No problem. Have a predisposition for diamonds? You can have them put into the dash. From SAR/AED 1,271,786
I love the notion of owning a car that’s capable of handling any situation and terrain. The Land Rover Discovery isn’t some clunky off-roader, it’s beaming with great design and is a pure joy to drive. On top of that, the Land Rover Discovery has room with everyone with a seven-person capacity. From SAR/AED 191,300
If you’re looking for a ride that feels like you’ve entered some kind of spaceship, the Lexus LC 500 is the closest thing to it. This undeniably gorgeous coupe is as much fun to drive as it is to look at. The LC 500’s cockpit feels less like a car and more like a Birkin, as it sports hand-stitched details and plush materials. From SAR/AED 337,870

If thoughtful and refined design speaks to you, the Volvo XC90 is your ticket. The XC90 is posh, like you’ve moved into some Scandinavian flat, and though it drives impeccably, you’ll find yourself glaring at the wood trim details and flawless navigational system. From SAR/AED 172,240
If you’re wanting to live out a James Bond fantasy, the Jaguar F-Type is a car you won’t want to leave. If you want to hear the grumble of the engine and hug the turns, the F-Type is the ultimate pleasure drive. You’ll get to where you’re going fast and fabulous. From SAR/AED 366,882
For those who don’t compromise, the Lamborghini Urus permits both the space of a SUV, but also the performance of a super car. By way of extreme Italian engineering, the Urus is capable of performing exceptionally on both the race track and off-road conditions. From SAR/AED 734, 500
For those looking for a car that is on the cutting edge of technology and sustainability, the Tesla Model 3 is an electric ride that does not disappoint. The mundane task of pumping gas feels so 2017, a chore that you won’t have in the Tesla, as it achieves a 321-kilometer range on a single full charge. The Model 3 also ranks as one of the safest automobiles in the industry. From SAR/AED 128,537
