Top-Selling Automobiles in Saudi Arabia for 2025

International companies are competing fiercely in the Saudi Arabian automobile market, which is one of the biggest in the Middle East. Although consumers in the Kingdom have a wide range of options, from family cars to economy cars, some models have consistently made a strong impression and topped sales charts.

The specialised website Best Selling Cars Blog reports that in 2024, Saudi Arabia sold more than 827,000 light vehicles, the most in nine years. This figure reflects the market’s revival and the notable surge in demand. Some automobiles have become the best-selling models, including the Toyota Camry, Kia Pegas, and Hyundai Accent.

Sales of these models have been substantial. Have these brands, however, held steady this year? Which vehicles will sell the best in Saudi Arabia in 2025?

Saudi Arabia’s Top-Selling Automobiles for 2025

Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Ford, Chevrolet, Mazda, Jetour.

Toyota

With a market share of 28.5%, Toyota continued to hold its top spot since the previous year and led the list of Saudi Arabia’s best-selling carmakers. These figures show how committed Saudi customers are to this Japanese brand, which has maintained steady, balanced growth while the market as a whole has grown by 7.7%.

In terms of top-selling models, the Toyota Yaris Saloon was the top-selling car in Saudi Arabia in January 2025, even though sales fell 9.6% from the same month in 2024. This illustrates how, despite the heightened competition, it remains popular in the market, especially in the economy saloon sector.

Hyundai

In Saudi Arabia, Hyundai’s sales increased by 25.7% in the first quarter of this year over the same period last year. In the Saudi Arabian automobile market, the Elantra and Accent are the most popular models. These two models are more appealing in the midsize saloon market because of their dependability, balanced price-to-specs ratio, enhanced design, and updated technical features.

Kia

After dropping out of the top 20, Kia shocked the car industry with a 41.3% increase in sales, rising to 12th position. Kia’s position in the saloon and SUV markets has grown, thanks in part to the popularity of cars like the Sportage, which saw remarkable growth. In addition to the rising demand for SUVs with multiple uses, this spike is ascribed to drastic design and specification changes.

Nissan

Nissan has consistently been a contender for the title of best-selling automobile overall. This year saw a 17.7% growth in sales. Due to the growing demand for small SUVs in the Saudi market, the Nissan X-Trail continues to be a favourite among Saudis. This is on top of its cutting-edge technology, contemporary style, and fuel economy.

Mazda

Mazda’s remarkable 70.8% increase in sales, which moved it up from tenth place in January 2024 to fifth place among Saudi Arabia’s best-selling cars, shows that the car has been and still is a favourite among Saudis. The Mazda 6 is the year’s standout model, growing at a pace of 235.3%. These numbers demonstrate how much Saudis value the unique Japanese brand’s functionality and aesthetics.

Ford

Improvements to its models, such as the Taurus, which blends luxury with an affordable price in addition to its efficient engines and many options, caused one of the companies to achieve significant growth this year, at 23.1%. The American brand concentrates on a variety of sedans and SUVs to hold onto its market share.

Chevrolet

Sales of Chevrolet increased by 76.8%, demonstrating a notable improvement in the company’s market share and position. This impressive success might suggest that its marketing strategy has improved overall and that there is increased interest in its well-liked vintage models.

Jetour

Even as the majority of Chinese brands experienced a decline, Jetour performed well, growing by 55.8%. Despite the difficulties other Chinese firms are encountering in the automobile market, its competitive pricing and wide selection of models seem to have been crucial in sustaining sales momentum.
