    NIO

    Blue Sky Coming — China's premium EV, known for its battery-swap network in China.

    NIO is China's most premium EV brand, operating the only at-scale battery-swap network in mainland China alongside a dedicated user-club ethos (the network is China-only — no Power Swap stations exist in the UAE today). The ET5T (touring wagon) is our flagship sourcing target — a long-range touring wagon priced in the BMW i4 / Polestar 2 UAE segment, equipped with NIO Pilot full-stack assist.

    Why import

    Used NIO ET5T trades at 35–50% off new in China — that's the gap we capture for UAE buyers.

    Our angle

    Our China supply-chain partners reach NIO Tianjin + Shanghai distributors directly. SOH testing runs through accredited inspection partners.

    Changan

    China's largest state-owned automaker — its Deepal and Avatr new-energy lines lead the import wave.

    Changan is one of China's oldest and highest-volume automakers, and its new-energy push runs on two sub-brands we source: Deepal (深蓝, mainstream EV/EREV — the S07 SUV and SL03 sedan) and Avatr (阿维塔, the premium line co-built with Huawei and CATL — the 11 and 12). Deepal already has an official UAE footprint, which makes parts and familiarity easier than most Chinese newcomers. Avatr competes in the BMW iX / Mercedes EQE Dubai segment at a fraction of the price.

    • Deepal S07Mid-size SUVLFP or NMC by trim (CATL) · 0-100 7.9s620 km160 kWfrom AED 80,000

    • Avatr 12Flagship sedanNMC (CATL) · 0-100 3.9s650 km425 kWfrom AED 161,000

    Why import

    Deepal S07 lands in Dubai well under a comparable Tesla Model Y; Avatr offers Huawei-grade ADAS at half the price of a German equivalent.

    Our angle

    Changan's scale means deep used-car supply and stable parts. Deepal's existing UAE presence shortens the aftercare gap versus pure grey-market brands.

    Service note

    Deepal/Avatr share Changan + Huawei/CATL supply chains — broad OEM parts availability through our China partners.

    ZEEKR

    Geely's premium EV arm · German-tuned chassis.

    ZEEKR 001 is the shooting-brake that built ZEEKR's reputation — Lotus-engineered chassis, 100kWh pack, real-world 600 km. The 007 sedan and X compact SUV round out a tight, focused lineup.

    • 009Flagship MPVNMC (CATL Qilin) · 0-100 4.5s702 km400 kWfrom AED 246,000

    Why import

    ZEEKR 001 used market is mature in China; we get well-cared-for examples with full service history.

    Our angle

    We've completed 6 ZEEKR 001 imports since launch. Solid software ecosystem + Geely parts pipeline = predictable aftercare.

    Service note

    ZEEKR shares Geely platform parts — broader OEM availability than NIO

    Xiaomi

    Hyper-tech sedan, IoT ecosystem in your dash.

    Xiaomi SU7 stunned the auto world on launch — performance to match Porsche Taycan, screen + voice tech that integrates with the entire Xiaomi smart-home / phone ecosystem. We import only the Pro and Max trims.

    ModelSegmentRangeFrom
    • SU7Sport sedanLFP base / NMC Pro-Max (CATL) · 0-100 5.28s800 km235 kWfrom AED 116,000

    • YU7Coupe SUV (2025)LFP base / NMC Max (CATL) · 0-100 3.23s760 km508 kWfrom AED 150,000

    Why import

    First batch SU7 Pro / Max already trading 8–15% below new in China — sweet spot for early UAE adopters.

    Our angle

    Xiaomi's app + cabin software is China-locked. We keep regional firmware flowing so features stay live.

    BYD

    World's largest EV maker · blade battery moat.

    BYD's Han, Seal, and Atto 3 are the global-best-selling EVs for a reason: blade battery safety (LFP-CTP), 5C charge curve, and software that just works. Less avant-garde than NIO but bulletproof reliability.

    ModelSegmentRangeFrom
    • HanExecutive sedanLFP (Blade) · 0-100 3.9s715 km380 kWfrom AED 91,000

    • Tang7-seat SUVLFP (Blade) · 0-100 4.9s600 km380 kWfrom AED 116,000

    Why import

    Lowest-risk Chinese EV import — BYD is already known and trusted by UAE drivers (taxi fleets, Careem).

    Our angle

    BYD has UAE official presence (Al-Futtaim) but used import gets buyers a 25–30% discount on the same car.

    Service note

    Parts widely available through Al-Futtaim aftermarket network

    Li Auto

    Extended-range EREV — peace of mind for desert drives.

    Li L7/L9/MEGA combine a large battery with a small generator engine — true range anxiety relief for UAE inter-emirate trips. Premium 6-seat family interior is the segment benchmark.

    ModelSegmentRangeFrom
    • L75-seat EREV SUVEREV (NMC ternary, CATL) · 0-100 5.3s1,315 km330 kWfrom AED 166,000
    • L96-seat EREV SUVEREV (NMC ternary, CATL) · 0-100 5.3s1,100 km330 kWfrom AED 219,000
    • MEGAMPVNMC (CATL Qilin, BEV) · 0-100 5.5s710 km400 kWfrom AED 300,000

    Why import

    EREV makes road-trips Abu Dhabi → Salalah trivial — pure BEVs can't match this in summer A/C-heavy use.

    Our angle

    EREV servicing needs both motor & engine fluency — our techs trained on both.

    Service note

    EREV adds engine-side maintenance · slightly higher service cost

    XPeng

    ADAS-forward · Tesla-rivalling autonomy in China.

    XPeng G6/G9/P7+ lead China in semi-autonomous driving (XNGP). Tight feedback loop with users via Xmart OS, frequent OTAs, and engineering pace second only to BYD.

    ModelSegmentRangeFrom
    • G6Coupe SUVLFP (CATL/CALB) · 0-100 4.13s755 km358 kWfrom AED 94,000
    • G9Flagship SUVNMC top / LFP base · 0-100 3.9s702 km405 kWfrom AED 144,000
    • P7+Sport sedanLFP · 0-100 5.9s710 km230 kWfrom AED 102,000
    • Mona M03Compact sedanLFP (FinDreams/BYD) · 0-100 7.4s620 km160 kWfrom AED 64,000

    Why import

    Mona M03 hits sub-AED 70K landed — uniquely affordable entry to Chinese new-energy.

    Our angle

    XPeng's OTA + remote diagnostics is the best in China — we plug into their developer channel for faster issue triage.

    Service note

    Most repairs resolved via OTA · physical work concentrated on suspension + brakes
