Why the BYD Song Plus DM-i sells in Saudi Arabia

Plug-in hybrid SUV: about 110 km of electric range for city work and a petrol engine for the highway, on a grid that may not have a charger.

An SUV is what most private buyers here actually order: enough ground clearance for the roads, five or seven seats, and a footprint that still parks in a city.

The largest Gulf market, and the one whose regulations explicitly require left-hand drive — which means Chinese stock is compliant by construction rather than by exception. The catch is age: only near-new units qualify.

Saudi Arabia

How much duty do I pay on a BYD Song Plus DM-i in Saudi Arabia?

How much duty do I pay on a BYD Song Plus DM-i in Saudi Arabia?
Customs charges on CIF — the vehicle price plus freight and insurance — and never on the invoice alone. Base duty is 5% of CIF. 1 further lines stack on top: VAT. Run the numbers through the landed-cost calculator and treat the result as a planning figure: the final figure exists only once customs assesses the specific vehicle.
How do I order a BYD Song Plus DM-i to Saudi Arabia?
Send the model, the model year and the destination port. You get the FOB or CIF price for units actually available, a video inspection before payment, and the document list this market requires. Payment runs on a deposit with the balance against the bill of lading.
What is the vehicle age limit for importing a car into Saudi Arabia?
5 years excluding the year of import. A vehicle imported in 2026 must be model year 2021 or later. Left-hand drive is required by the regulations, which is exactly what a China-sourced unit is.
Do Chinese left-hand-drive cars work in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia drives on the right, so a left-hand-drive car is the correct vehicle type: the steering wheel is on the side the road requires. Every car we ship is left-hand drive. Used vehicles must be no more than five years old excluding the year of import, so a unit imported in 2026 has to be model year 2021 or later. SABER / SASO conformity certification is mandatory and its issuing cycle has to be scheduled ahead of the sailing. Duty is 5% of CIF and VAT is 15%, so the tax line dominates the landed cost.
What is the landed cost of a 2022 BYD Song Plus DM-i in Saudi Arabia?
Our planning figure is $25,245 delivered and duty-paid at Jeddah, Dammam and Jubail: FOB, ocean freight and marine insurance, then the customs value that comes out of those three, then every levy Saudi Arabia stacks on top of it. Customs assesses on its own accepted value, so read it as the structure of the cost rather than as a quotation — and move the numbers yourself on this market’s duty page.
How long does shipping a BYD Song Plus DM-i to Saudi Arabia take?
RoRo and container sailings leave Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao or Guangzhou for Jeddah, Dammam and Jubail. Allow three to six weeks of transit depending on the lane and the sailing, plus one to two weeks for the customs entry at the destination. The booking, the loading date and the arrival window are confirmed in writing before any payment moves.
Can I register a BYD Song Plus DM-i in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia applies its own age limit and its own pre-shipment inspection. A 2022 unit sits inside that window and is loaded with the certificate this market asks for, which is why we quote the model year rather than a generic “used car”. If the limit tightens between ordering and shipping, the unit is swapped for one inside the new window at no extra cost.
Is a used BYD Song Plus DM-i cheaper to clear than a new one in Saudi Arabia?
Often yes, but not for the reason most buyers expect. The duty band follows engine capacity, while the levy on the vehicle itself is charged differently for new and used units in several of these markets. A 2022 unit lands for materially less than the equivalent new one on most lanes — which is why both numbers are quoted.
