It is a well-known fact that car buyers in the UAE generally gravitate more toward the luxury car segment. There are several reasons for this buyer behaviour and the end result is that the UAE is now one of the largest markets for luxury cars.
Buying luxury cars is not a new trend in the UAE. Both locals and expats in the country are fond of luxury cars and it has been this way for a few decades now. As a result, in the UAE used car market, there are quite a few luxury cars that come with all the premium features one desires, and all this while on a budget.
Yes, you can get luxury cars for under AED 25,000, and here’s the list of our Top 5 Luxury Cars Under AED 25,000.
5. Jaguar XF | Starting At AED 11,000
In 2007, Jaguar revealed its stunning new mid-size luxury car named XF. In Jaguar’s product lineup, it sat right under the Jaguar XJ but above the Jaguar XE. It came with all the features one would expect of a mid-size luxury sedan and then some more.
The classy Jaguar styling and subtle luxury were very much present. Designed by Ian Callum, the Jaguar XF remains one of the best-looking cars ever made by Jaguar. A variety of engines can be found under the bonnet of the Jaguar XF, starting from a fuel-efficient 2.0-litre Ecoboost inline-4 and going all the way up to a thunderous 5.0-litre Supercharged V8.
The Jaguar XF is not one of the most popular sedans sold in the UAE and hence finding one old enough to be under AED 25,000 is a little more difficult. When you do find one though, treat it like a gem and get it immediately. Check out used Jaguar XF luxury sedans for sale in the UAE.

Designed to compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, etc, the Lexus LS first debuted in 1989.

3. BMW 5-Series | Starting At AED 18,000
BMW’s attempt to take on the mid-size luxury sedan segment in the late 60s gave us the brilliant 5-Series. The E12 BMW 5-Series was first introduced in 1972. It brought new meaning to sporty yet luxurious sedans and eventually spawned a new range of high-performance luxury sedans starting with the BMW M5.
The first, second, and third-generation BMW 5-Series are now considered classics, and hence, prices for these cars are now higher than ever before.

Audi entered the full-size luxury car space in 1992 with the launch of the A8. It was a revolutionary car with lots of technology and premium features. It even came with an all-wheel-drive system. In order to compensate for the extra weight added by the AWD drivetrain, Audi developed stronger and lighter aluminium components.
The first generation was offered in two variants — A8 and A8 L. The L denotes a long wheelbase and offers 5 inches of extra space for passengers at the rear, which is ideal for luxury cars in the UAE. Even the first generation was available with several premium features like dual-zone climate control, powered and heated seats, a premium Bose audio system, etc.
All generations of the Audi A8 are powered by V6 and V8 engines while the second and third generations also got a massive W12 engine. You certainly won’t find the W12-powered A8 on a budget of AED 25,000. However, you certainly might find a V6 or V8-powered car. Check out used Audi A8 luxury sedans for sale in the UAE.
1. Mercedes-Benz S-Class | Starting At AED 12,500
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class needs no introduction. S-Class stands for Sonderklasse, which is German for Special Class. It is a name that has been reserved for the top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz models since 1972 when the very first S-Class was launched. Since then, the S-Class has been the pioneer in introducing new technologies in passenger vehicles.
The S-Class was the first European car to feature airbags. It introduced ABS way back in 1978, ESP in 1995, infrared vision in 2005, and the list is endless.

These technologies have only become better over the decades.
It is widely accepted that the Mercedes-Benz S-Class offers the best ride quality in its class. A new seventh-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class costs around AED 675,000. However, if you’re open to the idea of getting an older one, a third, fourth, or even fifth-gen S-Class is within reach with a budget of AED 25,000.
