UAE Luxury Car Market Challenges

Luxury vehicles typically come with higher maintenance costs due to the presence of premium engines that necessitate high maintenance, as well as more intricate powertrains. Ownership costs for items such as oil changes are likely to be higher due to the use of expensive oil, vehicle specific components among others. Consequently, maintenance is an important factor to consider while determining a luxury car's true cost. Additionally, luxury cars typically have more powerful engines and transmissions, resulting in lower fuel efficiency than a comparable small economy car's powertrain. Luxury vehicles are also typically equipped with lower gear ratios, which can result in more gas usage per mile.

Many of the sought-after luxury vehicles, including Jaguar and Bentley, are imported. Therefore, repair cost is high resulting in high overall ownership cost of the vehicle. The higher the value of a vehicle, the higher the monthly premiums will be. Insurance companies base their premiums on a variety of factors, such as the vehicle's value. If a luxury vehicle is very expensive, then it is likely that the owner will have to pay more each month for the insurance.
