Saudi Arabia Sports Utility Vehicle Market Trends:

Rise in Off-Road and Adventure Vehicle Popularity

Demand for off-road and adventure-capable SUVs is increasing fast in Saudi Arabia fueled by the nation's geographic and cultural predisposition towards desert wandering, overland driving, and weekend excursions. Buyers are looking more and more for vehicles that balance toughness with comfort leading to features such as four-wheel drive, improved ground clearance, and all-terrain capabilities being extremely desirable. Automakers are reacting by introducing models tailored specifically for desert driving and off-road use, like the Toyota Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol, and Ford Bronco. For instance, in February 2025, JETOUR announced its plans to launch the T1, its lite off-road SUV, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Featuring a 2.0T engine, advanced driving modes, and high-strength steel construction, the T1 combines urban comfort with off-road capability, marking a significant step in JETOUR's global expansion. These vehicles are popular among outdoor enthusiasts and also appeal to families looking for versatile, durable options. Additionally, the government's push for domestic tourism and the development of desert resorts and adventure destinations are contributing to this trend. As a result, off-road-ready SUVs are playing a key role in shaping consumer preferences across Saudi Arabia’s SUV market.

Electrification of SUV Models

The electrification of SUV models is emerging as a key trend in Saudi Arabia, with global and regional automakers introducing hybrid and fully electric variants to meet growing environmental and regulatory expectations. For instance, in March 2025, Ceer, Saudi Arabia's first electric vehicle manufacturer, announced its plans to launch its debut SUV by late 2026. Backed by agreements worth SAR 5.5 billion, Ceer aims for 240,000 vehicles annually and a 45% localization rate, contributing $8 billion to the GDP by 2034 while fostering domestic economic growth. With the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 emphasizing sustainable mobility and reduced carbon emissions, consumer interest in eco-friendly vehicles is steadily rising. Brands such as Toyota, Hyundai, and Lucid Motors now operating a production facility in Saudi Arabia are expanding their electric SUV offerings in the region. These models provide the dual advantage of fuel efficiency and lower emissions, while still delivering the size, power, and performance features that SUV buyers expect. Charging infrastructure is also improving in urban centers, supporting the shift to electric mobility. The growing availability and acceptance of electric SUVs are playing a significant role in driving Saudi Arabia sports utility vehicle market growth.
