WHOLESALE BUYER'S GUIDE
Wholesale Chinese cars from Dubai
A guide for dealers, fleet buyers and re-exporters: why Chinese cars, why source via Dubai, which marques and models, and how a 10-unit wholesale order works — with re-export across the GCC, Africa and the CIS.
Why Chinese cars
China is the world's largest car exporter and the leader in new-energy vehicles (EV, plug-in hybrid and range-extender). For a wholesale buyer that means current technology — LFP "blade" batteries, fast charging, modern cabins — at a landed cost well below a comparable European, Japanese or Korean car.
The marques have gone global: BYD, the Changan group (Deepal, Avatr, Qiyuan, Changan) and ZEEKR are no longer niche. Sourcing them new, in volume, lets a dealer or fleet buyer offer a fresh, in-demand line-up at a price local rivals can't match.
Why source via Dubai
Dubai is the gateway between China and the wider Eurasian market. Jebel Ali — the Middle East's largest port and free zone — makes it a natural transshipment and re-export hub: cars arrive from China and re-distribute across the GCC, Africa and the CIS from one bonded location.
Buying through Dubai gives a dealer one sourcing point for the whole Changan group plus other China-EV marques, GCC-spec where needed, with the export documentation handled in-house — instead of negotiating factory by factory in China, managing several suppliers, and carrying the language and quality-control risk alone.
The brands we wholesale
In stock in Dubai today: the full Changan group — Deepal, Avatr, Qiyuan and Changan — plus ZEEKR, about 97 configurations across electric and plug-in/range-extender powertrains. See the live price list at /in-stock/changan.
We also source the wider China-EV field to order — BYD, NIO, Denza, Fangchengbao, Yangwang and more. Tell us the marque, model and volume and we quote against verified China supply.
How wholesale works
Minimum order 10 units, mixable across the catalogue. Prices are quoted in AED (indicative), converted at ¥1 ≈ AED 0.51 from the ¥ China-customs FOB (free-on-board, export-cleared) price; Dubai landed cost — freight, customs, VAT, plates — is quoted per order.
Payment is a 30% T/T deposit to confirm the order, with the 70% balance before shipment; for larger orders a letter of credit (LC) or third-party escrow can be arranged. Cars ship FOB a China port and move to Jebel Ali by container or RO-RO; we handle UAE customs, duty, VAT and the export documentation for re-export.
Which model for which buyer
Taxi / ride-hailing / rental fleets usually want efficient, low-running-cost EVs — e.g. the BYD Dolphin, Atto 3 or a Deepal/Qiyuan compact. Family and inter-city buyers lean to 5–7-seat SUVs (Atto 3, Deepal S07, BYD Tang). Budget volume goes to city EVs like the Seagull; premium and government fleets to Avatr, ZEEKR or Denza.
These are guides, not fixed rules — the right pick depends on your roads, climate, charging access and price point. Send your use-case and target country and we'll shortlist from stock.
Shipping to your country
We ship from Jebel Ali to your port by container or RO-RO and handle the export documentation (e.g. certificate of origin); GCC-spec compliance and marine cargo insurance can be arranged on request.
Import duties, taxes and homologation in the destination country vary widely and change often — we don't quote them generically here. Tell us your country and we'll advise on the documents you'll need and connect the landed picture to a per-order quote.
