The UAE’s car market is shifting into high gear in 2025. From lower prices and improved buyer perks to a fresh crop of exciting new models and the growing dominance of electric vehicles (EVs), there’s a lot happening for both car buyers and automakers. If you’re considering a new ride or just keeping an eye on the latest trends, here’s a Cartea look at what’s shaping the market this year.
If you’re in the market for a new car, 2025 might just be the year to make a move. Prices in the UAE are either holding steady or going down, thanks to factors like a strong US dollar, lower shipping costs, and fierce competition—especially from Chinese carmakers. Changan is leading the charge, offering up to 30% off on several models, while even premium names like Audi are trimming prices by 5% to 7% on models like the Q8. Popular, budget-friendly options like the Citroën C5 Aircross, Chevrolet Groove, and Changan CS35 Plus are now more affordable than ever.
It’s not just about saving on the sticker price—dealerships are sweetening the deal with extra perks. In 2025, buyers can score 10-year warranties or 1 million kilometers, extended insurance plans, and flexible financing options. These added benefits help you get more value from your purchase and enjoy worry-free ownership.
2025 is bringing a diverse range of new models to UAE showrooms, offering something for everyone—from adventure-ready SUVs to futuristic electric vehicles and stylish hatchbacks. Some standouts include:
BAIC BJ30 – Starting at AED 94,000, this mid-size SUV offers hybrid technology and off-road capabilities, giving the Nissan X-Trail and Toyota RAV4 a run for their money.
Avatr 11 & 12 – With prices starting at AED 207,500, these electric beauties from Avatr combine sleek design and cutting-edge electric technology, marking a bold move in the luxury EV segment.
Suzuki Swift 2025 – The iconic Swift returns with a 1.2L engine and CVT transmission, priced at AED 51,900, making it an even more tempting choice for budget-conscious buyers.
Electric vehicles are no longer a niche market—they’re moving toward the mainstream. With strong backing from the UAE Energy Strategy 2050, EV sales are forecast to make up 15% of all new cars sold by 2030. This shift is powered by a rapidly expanding charging infrastructure and government incentives that are making EVs a more viable and attractive option for UAE drivers.
Chinese car manufacturers are no longer just newcomers—they’re making their presence known in a big way. Brands like Changan are offering well-equipped, stylish vehicles at competitive prices, challenging long-established automakers to adjust their pricing and features. The result? More choices, more innovation, and better value across the entire market.
