Toyota Camry: UAE's Best-Selling Sedan
According to Cartea's May sales rankings, the Toyota Camry recorded 302 units sold, making it the best-selling sedan in the UAE and the sixth best-selling model overall. Despite a 65.3% year-over-year decline, the Camry maintains its position as the default choice for UAE sedan buyers.
Toyota Camry Price and Specifications in the UAE
The Toyota Camry is available in multiple trims in the UAE. The 2.5L GLE starts at AED 99,900, the S+ at AED 109,900, and the XLE at AED 122,900. Hybrid variants begin at AED 139,900 for the GLE HEV and reach AED 153,985 for the Lumiere HEV. The 2.5-liter petrol engine produces 204 hp, while the hybrid system delivers 215 hp with significantly better fuel economy of approximately 5.9 L/100 km.
Why the Camry Remains Popular
The Camry's enduring popularity is built on decades of reliability in GCC conditions. Toyota's extensive dealer network ensures easy servicing anywhere in the Emirates. Strong resale value means Camry owners lose less money at trade-in time. The hybrid option appeals to environmentally conscious buyers and those seeking lower fuel costs.
Camry vs Chinese Sedan Rivals
At AED 99,900, the Camry faces growing competition from Chinese sedans. The Changan UNI-V (approximately AED 69,000) offers sportier styling at a lower price. The MG5 (AED 47,874 to AED 59,000) undercuts the Camry by over AED 40,000. However, the Camry's proven reliability and resale value continue to attract conservative buyers.
Conclusion
The Toyota Camry remains the UAE's sedan benchmark despite declining sales. For buyers prioritizing reliability, resale value, and hybrid efficiency, the Camry is the safe choice. However, Chinese alternatives now offer compelling value for buyers willing to try newer brands.
