Vehicle availability increased faster than buyer urgency, leading to longer time-to-sale, softer pricing power, and rising depreciation across most segments.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1768304904003\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Why is car depreciation increasing in 2026?<\/h3><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Depreciation is rising due to excess inventory, slower stock turnover, and aggressive pricing from new car manufacturers, especially Chinese brands. As cars sit longer before selling, time itself has become a direct financial cost.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1768304919612\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How much value will cars lose in 2026?<\/h3><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The increase in monthly depreciation from 1.2% to 1.3% is expected to add over AED 150 million per year in incremental value erosion across the UAE automotive market.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1768304937426\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Which car segments are most affected by rising depreciation?<\/h3><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Higher-value vehicles are most exposed, as premium cars carry larger absolute depreciation per month. Used cars, slower-moving European models, and ageing inventory face the highest financial risk.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1768304949607\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How are Chinese cars impacting the UAE car market?<\/h3><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Chinese brands have rapidly expanded in the UAE, capturing 13% of total demand on DubiCars in 2025, up from 3% in 2024. Buyers increasingly choose new Chinese cars over used Japanese and European alternatives due to value, features, and availability.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1768304962763\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Are EVs or hybrids performing better in the UAE market?<\/h3><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Hybrids have emerged as stronger performers for many buyers.
