BYD Cars Prices, Reviews & Offers in UAE

I needed a family car since I have kids and elderly parents at home, so it had to be something high-riding and comfortable. After a lot of research, we ended up focusing on BYD, especially since I had previously driven a Song Pro from the same brand — it was very comfortable and reliable, and that built my trust in them, both in terms of safety and technology. Since we travel by car a few times a year, I didn’t want to rely fully on electric, so we went with a hybrid to avoid range anxiety. The car is spacious and suits family needs really well — that’s what I liked most about it. What I regret, though, is the color. I chose it thinking it wouldn’t show dirt, but it turned out to be the opposite — every bit of dust is visible. I feel like a dark grey would’ve been a better choice. There are also a few small issues: at around 60 km/h, you can hear wind noise near the driver’s door, and the engine sound is quite noticeable. Below 30 km/h, there’s a slight humming noise, and if I brake hard, the car reacts a bit sharply. Driving-wise, the car has excellent torque, and when you step on the accelerator, you really feel the power — the hybrid system has definitely been useful. Over the last 4 months, I’ve driven more than 4,000 km, and my average consumption for the last 50 km has been around 8.7 kWh/100 km and 1.5L/100 km of fuel — which I’m honestly very happy with.

I recently purchased the 2025 BYD Han DM-i Elite, and honestly, at this price point, there’s no other hybrid that offers the same features and value. It’s classified as a B+ segment sedan, meaning it’s large and spacious — competing with cars in higher categories. I wasn’t originally a fan of BYD, but my budget was limited, and I needed a car that could handle long distances without worrying about fuel consumption or charging. Initially, I was leaning toward the Tang DM-i because it’s an SUV, but once I saw the interior, it felt too basic compared to the Han. The Han had just launched its 2025 model with several upgrades: a redesigned front similar to the EV version, improved engine and electric motor performance, and a new five-link rear suspension. Even though they replaced some aluminum parts with steel, the underbody design actually looked much better. I changed my mind and went with the Han DM-i, even though it's a sedan and sits lower — but I don’t often drive on rough roads, so it wasn’t a big deal. The worst part of the experience? It was the first time I’d ever heard of a dealership handing over a car to a customer without washing it! I asked them to clean it before delivery, and the guy just grabbed a damp cloth and gave it a quick wipe — like he just wanted me to stay quiet. On top of that, the tire pressure was 320. I told him to lower it because I was heading out on the highway, and he casually said, "It’s hot outside, that’s normal." The next day, it was still at 300 — he clearly didn’t care about safety or service standards. That part of the experience honestly left a bad taste.

The car just launched recently and there were no discounts. I bought it at the official price, and all they gave me were floor mats and basic window tint, which I didn’t really like. Most of my driving is within the city, and I use the AI mode — so it runs fully on electric most of the time. There’s no engine noise or vibration, and the cabin is very quiet, especially with the double-layer front windows. Fuel consumption is excellent — the gasoline engine rarely kicks in. The seat ventilation works great, but I’m a bit worried about the beige interior getting dirty. I’m still undecided whether to add seat covers since they might affect the cooling. The 5.0 infotainment screen looks good and is easy to use — just like a smartphone — but updates are slow, and some features are still locked. As for smart driving, it’s just average for now. BYD hasn’t really stood out in that area yet.

Hey folks! Thinking of getting a Mazda3 for Dubai traffic. Any owners here? 🚗💨
