Xiaomi Cars Officially Arrive in the UAE: Gargash Prime Automotive Launches SU7, YU7 & Skynomad

Xiaomi cars are no longer grey market imports in the UAE. Gargash Prime Automotive has officially brought the brand to the UAE, launching three models: the SU7 sedan, YU7 SUV, and Skynomad range-extender SUVs. These cars now come with transparent pricing, local warranty, and the backing of one of the country’s oldest automotive groups.

This is a significant moment for the UAE’s car market. Xiaomi, best known globally for its market-disruptive smartphones and consumer electronics, moved into cars with the same aggressive pricing and tech-heavy approach that disrupted other industries. Xiaomi started producing cars in 2024, and has now officially arrived in the UAE. That arrival is being handled by a new chapter of a very old name: Gargash Group.

Gargash Prime: The Next Chapter For A Legacy Group

The Gargash Group has been part of the UAE’s business landscape since 1918. Over the decades it has represented Mercedes-Benz, Alfa Romeo, GAC, and others, while expanding into real estate, financial services, and more.

Gargash Prime is the group’s new premium vertical, positioned as a forward-looking brand built on that legacy. Gargash Prime Automotive is the automotive arm of this vertical, and Xiaomi Auto is its opening statement. The partnership gives Xiaomi an established local operator with service infrastructure, while giving Gargash a pure-play electric-first and tech-focused brand to complement its existing portfolio.

Xiaomi Cars In The UAE

Xiaomi entered the car business in 2021, and took a couple of years for R&D activities. Its first car was the SU7 electric sedan, which went into production in 2024, and was quickly followed by the YU7 electric SUV in 2025. The Skynomad family arrived in 2026, and adds extended-range (EREV) options that use a petrol engine purely as a generator. 

All three cars share Xiaomi’s HyperOS software, high levels of driver-assistance hardware (including LiDAR on many versions), and a strong emphasis on over-the-air updates. In the UAE the cars come with a warranty of up to 5 years or 150,000 km and service coverage up to 60,000 km. Leasing packages are also available through Gargash Prime Automotive for buyers who prefer not to purchase outright.

Xiaomi SU7 – The Electric Sedan

The SU7 is Xiaomi’s four-door electric fastback and the model that first put the brand on the global automotive map. In 2025, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra set a new lap record at the Nürburgring, beating the Rimac Nevera and Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. In the UAE, the SU7 is available in four trim levels:

• Standard: AED 169,900
• Pro: AED 189,900
• Max: AED 229,900
• Ultra: AED 375,900

The Standard and Pro are rear-wheel-drive single-motor cars. The Max adds dual-motor all-wheel drive and significantly more power. The Ultra on the other hand, adds hypercar levels of performance with 1,548hp from three electric motors. The Standard and Ultra are available from December 2026; the Pro and Max follow in February 2027.

The SU7 prioritises range and a low, sporting silhouette. The Pro’s 902 km CLTC figure is particularly notable for long-distance driving, while the Max delivers the kind of acceleration that previously required a much higher price tag. And the Ultra offers hypercar-like performance.

Xiaomi YU7 – The Electric SUV

The YU7 is Xiaomi’s five-seat electric SUV and the more practical sibling to the SU7. Five versions are listed:

• Standard: AED 184,900
• Long Range: AED 194,900
• Pro: AED 209,900
• Max: AED 249,900
• GT: AED 299,900

The Standard and Long Range are rear-wheel drive; the Pro, Max & GT move to dual-motor all-wheel drive. The Standard is available from December 2026, with the higher trims following in February 2027.

The YU7 is the volume play for families and daily drivers who want SUV practicality without sacrificing Xiaomi’s tech and design language. The Long Range version in particular looks well suited to inter-emirate use.

Xiaomi Auto also achieved a world first in autonomous driving at the Nürburgring Nordschleife earlier this year. A Xiaomi YU7 GT, fitted with the Track Package, completed the full 20.8km circuit entirely without a human driver, recording a lap time of 10:29.483.

Xiaomi Skynomad – The REEV SUV

The Skynomad is Xiaomi’s answer to range anxiety. These are range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs): the wheels are always driven by electric motors, while a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine acts purely as a generator when needed. No charging is required if the driver prefers to run on petrol alone, making it perfect for extremely long journeys.

Four versions are offered in the UAE:

• N70 Pro: AED 209,900
• N70 Max: AED 239,900 
• N90 Max: AED 249,900 
• N90 Studio: AED 289,900

The N70 Pro and both N90 trims are available from December 2026; the N70 Max follows in February 2027. 

For buyers who cover long distances or still feel uneasy about pure-electric ownership, the Skynomad removes the need to plan every journey around chargers while still delivering the refinement of an electric drivetrain for most daily driving. Plus, the studio version comes with a proper camping setup including a roof that opens up to reveal a tent. Perfect for those winter camping nights in the UAE.

Ownership: Buy Or Lease

All three models can be purchased outright or taken on lease through Gargash Prime Automotive. The official website allows configuration, test-drive booking and lease enquiries in one place. Local warranty and service coverage should make ownership more straightforward and easy.

Bookings for the cars are open at Gargash Prime Automotive or at Etihad Mall, Al Khawaneej, Dubai. 

Editor’s Take

Xiaomi’s official arrival via Gargash Prime is one of the most important brand launches the UAE has seen in the Chinese EV wave. Transparent pricing, a proper local partner, and a clear three-model range (pure-electric sedan, pure-electric SUV, and range-extender SUV) give buyers real choice instead of another single-model experiment.

The numbers are super aggressive. A 1,500+hp tri-motor sedan for under AED 400,000 and an 835km CLTC SUV for under AED 195,000 will force established players to pay attention. Whether Xiaomi can match that hardware with after-sales consistency will decide if the success lasts. For now, the cars are here.

Whatever car you’re thinking of, find it on Dubi with over 25,000 listings.
