BYD in Saudi Arabia: Prices, Warranty and What to Check
BYD is sold in Saudi Arabia by Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility, which opened the first showroom in Riyadh in May 2024 and has since added showrooms in cities including Jeddah and Dammam. The line-up runs from the Sealion 5 plug-in hybrid, from about SAR 80,000, to large SUVs such as the Atto 8 and Sealion 7 at around SAR 160,000–180,000. Every new BYD gets a 6-year vehicle warranty and 8 years of cover on the battery.

Al-Futtaim BYD doesn't publish prices on its website; these are indicative starting prices from Saudi price guides (CarSwitch, ArabWheels) and vary by dealer, offer and trim. BYD KSA also lists the Seal 5. Confirm the price with an official BYD dealer.
Official BYD in Saudi Arabia
BYD's official distributor is Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility Company, which opened BYD's first Saudi showroom in Riyadh on 28 May 2024, followed by Jeddah, Dammam and more. Its official line-up (byd.sa) is mostly plug-in hybrids — the Sealion 5, Seal 5, Seal 6, Seal 7, Song Plus, Ti 7, Atto 8 and Shark 6 — plus the electric Seal, Han and Sealion 7.
BYD warranty in Saudi Arabia
Al-Futtaim's warranty is one of BYD's most generous: 6 years / 150,000 km on the vehicle and 8 years / 200,000 km on the high-voltage battery and drive unit, with the battery guaranteed to keep at least 70% of its capacity. Unusually, the standard 12-volt battery is covered for 6 years too. Service plans transfer when you sell the car; ask the dealer to confirm how much of the warranty transfers as well.
| Cover | Period |
|---|---|
| Vehicle | 6 years / 150,000 km |
| High-voltage battery and drive unit (min. 70% capacity) | 8 years / 200,000 km |
| 12-volt battery (standard) | 6 years / 150,000 km |
| LED lamps, tyre-pressure monitoring, suspension, ball joints | 4 years / 100,000 km |
| Multimedia, shock absorbers, wheel bearings, charging ports | 3 years / 60,000 km |
Terms from byd.sa, November 2026, whichever limit comes first. Consumables such as tyres, brake pads and filters have shorter cover.
GCC-spec vs China-spec BYDs
Cars sold by Al-Futtaim are GCC-specification models covered by the local warranty and recall campaigns. A China-spec BYD brought in privately — or a model that isn't on the official list — can have different software and equipment and is usually not covered by Al-Futtaim's warranty. Confirm the specification and warranty status with an official dealer before you buy.
How to check a BYD in Saudi Arabia by VIN
Decode the 17-character VIN before you pay: it shows which market the car was built for, the exact model and the build year. Then ask an Al-Futtaim BYD dealer to confirm the warranty start date and any open campaigns, and on a used car check the mileage and accident history.
