Review written on 3/1940.

Philadelphia Motors just released a new Compact SUV called the Cairo. We've been waiting to see this vehicle in person. And now that we have, we can make our opinions known. Is it truly better than the class leader? The Cairo Diesel. Or is even the lowly Alisma better than it? Read to find out more!


On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Cairo suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Compact SUV. The Cairo's 79 hp @ 3258RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 24.098s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 88 mph. The Cairo is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 88 mph. Hooked up to our test trailer, the 103 lb-ft of torque were able to tow 22 lbs. On the track testing the Philadelphia Motors Cairo did have some slight issues. Of course it was not designed to be a track car. But as a Compact SUV it should have better handling than it does. In most cases in the real world this shouldn't be any problem. But it is still sub-par at best. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Compact SUV I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!


When it comes to comforts and luxury, the Philadelphia Motors Cairo isn't going to win any awards. It barely meets what you need in a vehicle. The seats are hard and uncomfortable for long trips. Features are a little barren, but it has the basic necessities. Material quality leaves a bit to be desired. We would not pay a premium price for this interior finish, but if you're looking for A to B transportation, it is almost tolerable.

The Philadelphia Motors Cairo's 30 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space is plenty for the typical consumer. It is certainly better than average for this type of vehicle. While there are some areas that could be improved all in all we think the Cairo is good.

The workmanship put into the Philadelphia Motors Cairo is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Cairo is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Philadelphia Motors has perfected the perfect.


If there was one vehicle I believe would be able to hit 1,000,000 miles easily it would be the Philadelphia Motors Cairo. This vehicle was designed for dependability in mind.

Out on civilian streets you'll never be thought of as a eco-maniac while driving your Philadelphia Motors Cairo. With its sub-par 16.6 mpg the Cairo will hit your wallet hard. Don't worry, the gas station clerk is a nice guy!

You could really tell the engineers at Philadelphia Motors designed the Cairo to save lives. This vehicle not only reduces the risk of being killed in it, but reduces the risk of being killed from it. This vehicle should be looked at as a marvel of preventative engineering.


I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Cairo. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Compact SUV you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Cairo but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
