Based on the latest DubiCars electric-car listings, here are five of the most readily available EVs in the UAE this summer.
Rolls-Royce Spectre
The Rolls-Royce Spectre represents the most luxurious end of the UAE electric-car market. It is a large two-door coupé with four seats, an all-electric powertrain and the quiet driving experience expected from a Rolls-Royce. The absence of an engine aligns with the brand’s focus on smooth, almost silent travel.
Depending on the wheels and vehicle configuration, the Spectre offers an official WLTP range of 500-530km. It also comes with all-wheel drive, air suspension and a cabin that can be customised through the Rolls-Royce Bespoke programme.
The Spectre is not designed to be the most practical or affordable EV. Its appeal lies in combining electric power with traditional Rolls-Royce craftsmanship, comfort, and personalisation.
Why it is on the list:
- Strong availability for an ultra-luxury EV
- Quiet and refined electric driving experience
- Around 500km of WLTP range
- Highly customisable interior and exterior
- Distinctive alternative to luxury electric saloons
Here’s a list of Rolls-Royce Spectre for sale in the UAE.
Xiaomi YU7
The Xiaomi YU7 is one of the newest and most technologically advanced electric SUVs to appear in the UAE market. It is a large five-seat SUV designed to combine strong performance, long driving range and a feature-packed cabin. The YU7 is available in different versions, including rear-wheel-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive models.
The original range includes YU7, YU7 Pro, and YU7 Max. Depending on the trim, the claimed CLTC range reaches up to 835km. The YU7 Max can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 3.23 seconds, and its high-voltage platform supports rapid charging.
Most examples available in the UAE are likely to be Chinese-specification imports. Buyers should therefore check warranty coverage, charging compatibility, software language, connected services and local registration requirements.
Why it is on the list:
- Long claimed electric driving range
- Spacious five-seat SUV cabin
- Strong performance in higher trims
- Advanced displays and cabin technology
- Several specifications available through importers
Here’s a list of Xiaomi YU7 for sale in the UAE.
Tesla Model 3
The Tesla Model 3 remains one of the most recognisable and practical electric cars available in the UAE. Its popularity stems from its combination of range, performance, charging access, and a relatively simple ownership experience. The Model 3 is also smaller and easier to drive in busy areas than many of the large electric SUVs currently entering the market.
Tesla offers several versions with different performance and range figures. The current rear-wheel-drive Model 3 has a claimed WLTP range of 534km, while selected long-range versions can travel up to 750km under the WLTP cycle.
The cabin uses a minimalist design centred around a large touchscreen. It also offers useful luggage capacity, over-the-air software updates and access to Tesla’s charging network.
Why it is on the list:
- Wide selection of new and used examples
- Strong electric driving range
- Access to Tesla Superchargers
- Lower maintenance requirements than combustion cars
- Practical for commuting and longer journeys
Here’s a list of Tesla Model 3 for sale in the UAE.
BYD Song EV
The BYD Song EV is a practical choice for buyers looking for an electric family SUV with modern technology and a competitive price. Several versions of the wider Song family are available in the UAE, including the Song Plus EV and the more coupé-shaped Song L EV. Specifications can therefore vary between individual listings.
Examples of the Song L EV available on DubiCars feature an 87.04kWh Blade Battery, rear-wheel drive and a claimed CLTC range of up to 662km. The electric motor produces around 313hp, allowing the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in approximately 6.9 seconds.
Song Plus EV listings may use a smaller motor and offer a claimed range of around 605km, depending on the specification. Buyers should confirm the exact model, battery and charging system before making a decision.
Why it is on the list:
- Practical five-seat SUV design
- BYD Blade Battery technology
- Several versions and specifications available
- Modern infotainment and safety features
- Competitive alternative to established electric SUVs
Here’s a list of BYD Song EV for sale in the UAE.
Mercedes-Benz EQS
The Mercedes-Benz EQS is a luxury electric saloon created as an electric alternative to traditional flagship models. Its aerodynamic body is designed to improve efficiency, while the cabin focuses on passenger comfort, technology and quietness. Depending on the specification, features can include the MBUX Hyperscreen, rear-seat entertainment, rear-wheel steering and advanced driver-assistance systems.
Several versions of the EQS are available in the UAE market, including rear-wheel-drive and 4MATIC models. Performance, battery capacity and range vary considerably between trims and model years.
The latest regional EQS information highlights a driving range of up to 926km and the ability to add up to 320km of WLTP range in 10 minutes under suitable charging conditions. Older EQS models listed for sale will have a different range and charging figures.
Why it is on the list:
