BYD 2026 Prices in Saudi Arabia

makes.byd logo

BYD is one of the fastest-growing automotive brands in Saudi Arabia, bringing a full 15-model electrified lineup to the market in 2026. Prices run from SAR 69,900 to SAR 185,780, covering SUVs, sedans, and a plug-in hybrid pickup — making BYD one of very few brands to offer PHEV and fully electric options at virtually every price point in the market. The brand's pitch is straightforward: more powertrain technology per riyal than almost any rival.

BYD vehicles in Saudi Arabia are distributed by Interauto, which operates showrooms in Riyadh, Jeddah, and other major cities, with an expanding service network as the brand's volume grows.

The KSA lineup is heavily weighted toward plug-in hybrids, reflecting local buyer preference and Saudi Arabia's expanding charging infrastructure. The Qin Plus PHEV sits at the entry point from SAR 69,900, making electrified motoring accessible in the sedan segment. The Sealion 5 and Seal 6 serve mid-range SUV and sedan buyers wanting a PHEV without stretching the budget significantly. Moving into the core family segment, the Song Plus PHEV SUV and the Seal-7 PHEV sedan offer more space and AWD options. For buyers wanting full electric, the Atto-3 and Seal cover the SUV and sedan space respectively, while the Sealion 7 — which tops the range at SAR 185,780 — is a fully electric performance SUV with AWD capability. The three-row Atto-8 handles large family SUV duties in PHEV form. The Han is the flagship luxury sedan, offering a premium experience well below comparable German alternatives. For pickup buyers, the Shark-6 PHEV remains the only electrified truck in the segment available in KSA.

Frequently asked questions

BYD's KSA range is wider than Tesla's, covering both PHEV and fully electric options across multiple segments, while Tesla sells only the Model 3 and Model Y locally. The BYD Sealion 7 AWD competes directly with the Model Y Performance and is priced below it, making BYD the stronger value proposition for buyers open to a Chinese-brand alternative.
BYD in Saudi Arabia is handled by Interauto, which has been expanding its service footprint in Riyadh and Jeddah as BYD's volume has grown. As with any rapidly expanding brand, coverage outside major cities is still developing, so buyers in secondary cities should confirm service availability before purchasing.
The Song Plus PHEV is the most popular choice — it covers everyday city driving on electric power and switches seamlessly to the petrol engine on highway runs between cities. For buyers who need more space, the Atto-8 PHEV adds a third row and AWD at a higher price point, making it one of the few electrified large SUVs available in KSA at this price.
Like most newer entrants to the KSA market, BYD resale values are still finding their floor as the brand's volume grows. Models with strong local demand — such as the Qin Plus and Song Plus — tend to hold value better than lower-volume nameplates. Buyers planning a three-to-five-year ownership cycle should account for this when comparing total cost of ownership against Toyota or Hyundai alternatives.
The BYD Shark-6 PHEV is available in KSA and is one of the only electrified pickups on the market. It undercuts the Hilux on running costs thanks to its plug-in hybrid system, and its cabin is significantly more premium. The Hilux retains a dominant lead on residual values and off-road durability, making the Shark-6 a better fit for lifestyle buyers than heavy-duty commercial use.
