🚗 A new landscape on the streets of the UAE – a self-narration from a UAE customer
“Five years ago, there were almost no Chinese brands in Dubai’s luxury car showrooms, but now my neighbors are talking about BYD, Zeekr and Weilai.” – Ahmed Al-Mansoori, a UAE financial practitioner
In recent years, Chinese electric vehicles have risen rapidly in the UAE market. According to the latest data, Chinese brands accounted for 35% of UAE electric vehicle sales in 2025. This article interviewed 3 Chinese electric vehicle owners in Dubai to reveal why they chose Chinese brands and analyze the market opportunities behind this trend.
🔋 Car owner’s story – why choose Chinese electric vehicles?
- “ZEEKR 001 made me give up Porsche Taycan” —— Khalid, Dubai real estate developer
Model: Zeekr 001 (2025 model)
Reasons for buying:
Solid battery life: “Under the high temperature of 50°C in Dubai, the official nominal range is 650km, and I can actually run 530km, which is more stable than Tesla Model S.”
Luxury configuration: “NAPPA leather + smart air suspension, the comfort level is not inferior to Mercedes-Benz S-Class.”
Local service: “Magic Bridge Auto provides 5 years of free battery testing, so I don’t have to worry about high temperature loss at all.”
Khalid’s advice: “If you want high performance + luxury experience, Zeekr 001 is more worthy of consideration than traditional European brands.” - “BYD Formula Leopard 5: My desert camping artifact” —— Sara, Outdoor travel blogger
Model: BYD Formula Leopard 5 (PHEV hybrid version)
Reasons for buying a car:
Hybrid advantages: “Pure electric mode is enough for my daily commute. When I enter the desert, I switch to hybrid mode, and the range is over 1,000km.”
Off-road capability: “With three locks, it is more stable than the Land Rover Defender in the sand.”
Policy benefits: “By purchasing a car through Magic Bridge Auto, I saved 28,000 dirhams in registration fees.”
Sara’s experience: “Chinese electric vehicles are no longer a ‘cheap alternative’, but a truly high-end choice.” - “NIO ET5: My Smart Mobile Office” —— Rashed, CEO of a technology company
Model: NIO ET5 (LiDAR version)
Reasons for buying a car:
Easy battery replacement: “3 minutes to replace the battery, faster than refueling, there are 4 battery replacement stations on the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway.”
Smart driving: “IM AD system is still reliable under the complex road conditions in Dubai. ”
Brand tone: “Driving NIO is very popular in business occasions, and it is even more topical than BBA.”
Rashed’s observation: “Chinese electric vehicles are reshaping the market of luxury cars in the Middle East.”
