BYD in the UAE: Prices, Warranty and What to Check
New BYDs in the UAE start at around AED 88,000 for the Seal 6 DM-i and run to roughly AED 270,000 for a top-spec Tang. BYD is distributed by Al-Futtaim, with 6 years / 150,000 km on the vehicle and 8 years / 200,000 km on the battery. Because China-spec BYDs are also imported privately, checking the VIN before you buy matters more here than in most markets.

| Seal 6 DM-i | Plug-in hybrid sedan | about AED 87,900 |
| Song Plus | Plug-in hybrid SUV | about AED 119,900 |

BYD prices in the UAE
The UAE range includes models the UK and Australia don't get, such as the Han and Tang, and keeps the Song Plus name for the SUV sold elsewhere as the Sealion 6 or Seal U. The Seal 6 DM-i is the cheapest way into a new BYD.
BYD warranty in the UAE
BYD quotes 6 years / 150,000 km on the vehicle and 8 years / 200,000 km on the high-voltage battery for cars sold through the official network. Keep every service record, and on a used car ask the dealer to confirm the warranty start date by VIN.
GCC-spec vs China-spec BYDs
Privately imported China-spec BYDs are common and often cheaper, but they aren't covered by the official warranty, may run Chinese-language software and apps, and use China's GB/T charging inlet, while most UAE public fast chargers use CCS2. They may also miss local recall campaigns. A VIN decode shows the market a car was built for.
Recalls in the UAE
Vehicle recalls in the UAE are announced by the Ministry of Economy, and official dealers contact registered owners. A China-spec import won't be on the dealer's list, so match its model and build date against Chinese recall notices as well.
How to check a BYD before buying in the UAE
Decode the VIN to confirm the model, battery, build date and market. Ask an official BYD dealer whether the car is in their warranty system, check the registration history and service record, and on an electric BYD ask for a battery health report.
