Official or imported Xiaomi: the short answer is that you are choosing between a local warranty and a wait, or a car you can drive today with terms set by the dealer. Since October 2026 Gargash Prime Automotive sells the Xiaomi SU7, YU7 and SkyNomad officially in the UAE, from AED 169,900, with a warranty of up to 5 years or 150,000 km and servicing up to 60,000 km. Its first deliveries are in December 2026, and many trims wait until February 2027.
Before October, every Xiaomi in the country came in through independent import dealers. Many of those cars are still for sale, and they are on forecourts now. Neither route is wrong. They give you different things, and this guide sets them side by side.

Price: a fixed list against a dealer’s tag
Gargash Prime publishes one price per trim. These are the prices on its website on 9 November 2026. All range figures are CLTC, China’s test cycle, which runs more generous than real driving, especially with the air conditioning working hard in summer.
| Model and trim | Official price | Listed delivery |
|---|---|---|
| SU7 Standard | AED 169,900 | December 2026 |
| SU7 Pro | AED 189,900 | February 2027 |
| SU7 Max | AED 229,900 | February 2027 |
| SU7 Ultra | AED 375,900 | December 2026 |
| YU7 Standard | AED 184,900 | December 2026 |
| YU7 Long Range | AED 194,900 | February 2027 |
| YU7 Pro | AED 209,900 | February 2027 |
| YU7 Max | AED 249,900 | February 2027 |
| YU7 GT | AED 289,900 | February 2027 |
| SkyNomad N70 Pro | AED 209,900 | December 2026 |
| SkyNomad N70 Max | AED 229,900 | February 2027 |
| SkyNomad N90 Max | AED 249,900 | December 2026 |
| SkyNomad N90 Studio | AED 289,900 | December 2026 |
Two prices differ between sources. Gargash Prime lists the YU7 GT at AED 289,900 and the SkyNomad N70 Max at AED 229,900. Tbreak and Tires & Parts News reported AED 299,900 and AED 239,900. Confirm the figure on your order form.
Neither Gargash Prime nor the press reports say whether these prices include 5% VAT. Ask before you compare them with anything else.
Gargash Prime also leases all three models. Both press reports give monthly plans from AED 3899 for the SU7 Standard, AED 4199 for the YU7 Standard and AED 4699 for the SkyNomad N70 Pro.
On an imported car the dealer sets the price, and it moves with the car’s trim, mileage, age and how it was brought in. For current prices on official models see new Xiaomi car prices in Dubai, and for cars dealers have in stock see Xiaomi cars for sale in Dubai. With an official list now public, you have a clear benchmark to hold any imported price against, in either direction.
Warranty and service
This is the biggest difference. Every Gargash Prime Xiaomi is listed with a warranty of up to 5 years or 150,000 km, plus servicing up to 60,000 km. “Up to” matters: ask which parts carry the full term, and whether the high-voltage battery has its own.
An imported car has no Gargash Prime warranty unless Gargash Prime says otherwise. Any cover comes from the dealer that sells it, on that dealer’s terms, and it varies from car to car. Get it in writing, and check:
- who pays for a repair, and up to what limit
- which workshop does the work, and whether it can handle the high-voltage system
- whether the cover passes to the next owner if you sell
Gargash Prime has not said whether it will service imported Xiaomis, or on what terms. That is worth a phone call before you buy one.
Software updates
Xiaomi’s cars lean heavily on software: the HyperOS cabin, the HAD driver assistance with lidar, and the connected apps. Gargash Prime lists over-the-air software updates on the SU7, YU7 and SkyNomad.
An imported car was built for another market. Ask the dealer which software version it runs, whether it receives updates in the UAE, and which connected features work here. A car that stops updating ages faster.
The Dragonscale battery guarantee
Xiaomi’s Dragonscale battery made its debut on the SkyNomad in China. Xiaomi promised a free car of the same spec if the pack self-ignites through a quality defect, and to cover the gap between the insurance payout and the car’s value after a collision fire.
The fine print is strict. Both CarNewsChina and Notebookcheck report that it applies only to privately used cars with their first owner, which rules out rentals, ride-hailing and used cars. The owner must keep an active Xiaomi connected-services subscription and service the car at official Xiaomi centres.
For official UAE cars, neither Gargash Prime nor Xiaomi has said whether the guarantee applies. On an imported car, the first-owner and official-service conditions make a claim unlikely. Our Dragonscale battery guide covers the terms in full.
Waiting time
Official cars are built to order. The SU7 Standard, SU7 Ultra, YU7 Standard, SkyNomad N70 Pro, N90 Max and N90 Studio are listed for December 2026. Every other trim is a pre-order for February 2027. You can book online or at its booth in Etihad Mall, Al Khawaneej, Dubai.
Imported cars are already here. If you need a car this month, or you want a trim with a February date, a dealer’s stock is the only way to have one now.

Resale
There is no resale record yet for either route. Official deliveries only start in December 2026.
What is likely to matter is what the next buyer can check: a local warranty with time left on it, a service history, and a clear answer on software. An official car starts with the first two by default. An imported car can match them if the dealer’s warranty transfers and the service records are kept. Leasing, which Gargash Prime offers, takes the resale question off your hands.

What to ask either seller
At Gargash Prime:
- Does the price include VAT, registration and delivery?
- Which parts does the 5-year or 150,000 km warranty cover, and is there a separate battery term?
- What does the servicing up to 60,000 km include?
- Is my trim a December or a February delivery, and what happens to my deposit if the date moves?
- Does the Dragonscale guarantee apply to a SkyNomad bought here?
At an independent dealer:
- Which market was the car built for, and when was it first registered?
- Is there a warranty, who writes it, and does it pass to the next owner?
- Who services the car, and can they work on the high-voltage battery?
- Does it receive software updates in the UAE, and which connected features work here?
- Is it registered or ready to register in the UAE, with the papers in order?
If both sets of answers come back clear, the choice comes down to whether you value a local warranty or a car in your driveway this month. For the SkyNomad specifically, see our SkyNomad N90 and N70 guide. If it is the range-extender format you want rather than the badge, compare it with the AITO M9.
Questions people are asking
Is Xiaomi officially sold in the UAE?
Yes. Since October 2026 Gargash Prime Automotive sells the SU7, YU7 and SkyNomad, with prices from AED 169,900.
What warranty do official Xiaomi cars get in the UAE?
Gargash Prime lists a warranty of up to 5 years or 150,000 km and servicing up to 60,000 km on every model.
Do imported Xiaomi cars have a warranty?
Not from Gargash Prime, unless it says otherwise. Any cover comes from the dealer that sells the car, so ask for the terms in writing.
When will official Xiaomi cars be delivered?
The first trims are listed for December 2026. The rest are pre-orders for February 2027.
Do Gargash Prime’s prices include VAT?
It is not stated on its website or in the launch reports. Ask before you pay a deposit.
Does the Dragonscale fire guarantee cover UAE cars?
It has not been confirmed for official UAE cars. In China its terms exclude used cars and require servicing at official Xiaomi centres, so an imported car is unlikely to qualify.
