- Developed in partnership with Al-Futtaim Finance, Flex Drive offers lower monthly instalments for the first two years, followed by higher repayments over the remaining three years

- Available to Toyota and Lexus customers in the UAE, designed to support young professionals, growing families and those seeking structured financing options
DUBAI, UAE: Al-Futtaim, the official distributor of Toyota and Lexus in the UAE, has introduced Flex Drive, an innovative finance solution that helps customers manage their repayments more comfortably through a structured repayment profile that better aligns with their financial needs.
Developed in partnership with Al-Futtaim Finance, Flex Drive offers an alternative repayment structure with a fixed interest rate designed to appeal to customers seeking greater financial flexibility, including young professionals, growing families and those looking for structured financing options. Unlike conventional finance products that maintain the same monthly payment throughout the loan term, Flex Drive enables customers to benefit from lower monthly instalments during the first two years, followed by higher repayments over the remaining three years.
Vehicles will be registered in the customer’s name and financed through Al-Futtaim Finance, subject to a credit assessment, affordability assessment, and applicable terms and conditions.
Jacques Brent, Managing Director, Al-Futtaim Toyota & Lexus, explains: “Buying a new vehicle is one of the most significant financial decisions many people make, and today’s customers are looking for solutions that are as flexible as their lifestyles. Flex Drive has been developed to give customers greater choice and control over how they finance their vehicle, making ownership more accessible while providing the confidence of a clear and predictable repayment structure.
At Al-Futtaim, we are continually looking for ways to enhance the Toyota and Lexus customer experience beyond the vehicle itself. Flex Drive is another example of how we are responding to evolving customer needs with innovative solutions that make owning a Toyota or Lexus even more accessible.”
Omar Haddad, CEO, Al-Futtaim Finance, said: “Customers today are looking for financing solutions that are more closely aligned with the way they live and manage their finances. Flex Drive reflects that shift by offering greater flexibility at the beginning of the ownership journey.”
By introducing Flex Drive, Al-Futtaim continues to expand its customer-focused mobility solutions, supporting buyers with financing options that reflect the realities of modern lifestyles while making vehicle ownership simpler, smarter and more accessible.

In August 2020 Al-Futtaim Toyota shook up the lifestyle pickup segment with the introduction of the all-new eighth-generation Toyota Hilux Adventure.
