UAE’s New Vehicle Policies You Need to Know – September 2025 Update

The UAE has always been a hub for vehicles, from luxury cars to budget-friendly options. As we step into September 2025, the automotive market is experiencing notable shifts that buyers, sellers, and investors should be aware of.

The UAE government regularly updates its vehicle-related policies to ensure safety, sustainability, and efficient regulation. In September 2025, new rules are shaping the industry and directly affecting both individual car owners and dealerships.

1. Mandatory EV Charging Compliance

All new residential and commercial projects must now include EV charging points. This policy, introduced in August, has seen stricter enforcement in September 2025.

2. Stricter Import Regulations

From September 2025, vehicles older than 10 years face higher import duties. This has led to a 9% decline in older vehicle imports compared to August 2025.

3. Insurance and Safety Standards

The RTA has mandated advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) for newly registered commercial fleets. This ensures safety but also impacts fleet purchase costs.

4. Green Incentives

Owners of hybrid and electric vehicles receive 50% discounts on registration fees, encouraging wider adoption.
