Wealthy market, regional hub
The UAE pairs a high-spending domestic market with Dubai's role as the Middle East's trading and re-export hub, making it the launchpad many Chinese brands use to stage their regional entry, flagship showrooms and distribution. The overall market grew about 5.3% to roughly 335,800 vehicles in 2025, with Toyota still firmly in front — but the story underneath was Chinese share gains.
Jetour's breakout
Jetour was the standout, jumping about 82% year on year to become the UAE's #4 brand overall and overtaking MG as the best-selling Chinese marque; its T2 SUV rose to the #3 model nationally — the first Chinese model to crack the overall top three. MG held a top-five position (up about 10%), and Geely leapt from #12 to #6 (up about 48%). Chery continued to grow with the Tiggo range. On EVs — around 8% of the market and growing over 26% in 2025 — Tesla leads, but BYD is the top Chinese EV brand and roughly tripled its sales. Typical models include the Jetour T2 and Dashing, MG ZS and MG5, Geely Coolray, Emgrand and Starray, Chery Tiggo 4/7/8, and the BYD Atto 3, Seal, Dolphin and Han.
Policy and structure
The UAE is an import and re-export market, not an assembly base — there is no local Chinese production. ICE vehicles carry the standard 5% GCC customs duty plus 5% VAT, while fully electric vehicles have benefited from duty and VAT relief (status beyond end-2025 should be checked). As US and EU tariffs redirect Chinese EVs, the Gulf — and Dubai in particular — has become a natural outlet, and Chinese-brand resilience showed in early 2026 when Jetour kept growing even as the overall market fell.

高消费市场，区域枢纽
阿联酋既有高消费的本地市场，又依托迪拜作为中东贸易与转口枢纽的角色，成为许多中国品牌进入该区域、设立旗舰展厅与分销体系的跳板。2025 年整体市场增长约 5.3% 至约 33.58 万辆，丰田仍稳居第一——但水面之下是中国品牌份额的持续攀升。
捷途的爆发
捷途（Jetour）表现最抢眼，同比大涨约 82%，跃升为阿联酋整体第 4 大品牌，并超越 MG 成为销量最高的中国品牌；其 T2 SUV 升至全国第 3 畅销车型——这是首款进入整体前三的中国车型。MG 保持前五（增长约 10%），吉利则从第 12 位跃升至第 6 位（增长约 48%），奇瑞凭借 Tiggo 系列继续增长。在电动车领域（约占市场 8%，2025 年增长逾 26%），特斯拉领先，但比亚迪是最大的中国电动品牌，销量约增长两倍。典型车型包括捷途 T2 与 Dashing、MG ZS 与 MG5、吉利 Coolray/Emgrand/Starray、奇瑞 Tiggo 4/7/8，以及比亚迪 Atto 3、Seal、Dolphin、Han。
政策与结构
阿联酋是进口与转口市场，而非组装基地——没有本地中国产能。燃油车缴纳标准的 5% GCC 关税加 5% 增值税，纯电动车则曾享受关税与增值税减免（2025 年底之后的政策需核实）。随着美欧关税使中国电动车转向，海湾——尤其是迪拜——成为天然出口，中国品牌的韧性在 2026 年初已有体现：即便整体市场下滑，捷途仍在增长。
