Cars from Korea

Cars from Korea in the United Arab Emirates

Updated 5 November 2026

Korean cars generally align with GCC standards, and vehicles sold in the UAE must carry a warranty of at least three years or 100,000 km under the 2025 rules. Prices are quoted per car, so for a figure for your model and year, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

• Make, model and year
• Engine and what is included, such as warranty, service or registration
• Mileage in kilometres and the history, including any damage
• Turnkey import costs, if the car comes from Korea
• Delivery city: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain

Warranty and specification

Ask for the warranty in writing and check how long it lasts. Most Kia models carry a warranty of 60 months or 150,000 km, whichever comes first, so compare the warranty of each model. Check the specification before you import: Korean models generally align with GCC standards, while North American models can have issues, so say in your request whether you want a GCC-specification car.

Documents and paperwork

A dealer lists the documents it needs to sell you a car: a copy of your Emirates ID or passport, a valid UAE driving licence, and a salary certificate or bank statement for the last three months. Ask in advance which of these apply to a turnkey import.

Summer heat and test drives

Summers are very hot from May to September, so test the air conditioning and cooling on a longer drive, not only in the showroom. The mild winter from November to March is the easier time for test drives and inspections.

Mileage, units and delivery

Mileage is quoted in kilometres, so ask for the odometer reading in km and the service history. The cities covered are Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain, so ask whether a turnkey price includes import, registration and delivery to your city.

What to write in your request

Name the make and model, the year and engine you want, the mileage limit, the damage history you accept, the delivery city and whether you need a turnkey import. Add your budget in AED.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the car in your own words, and the AI asks for missing details. It looks through sellers' websites and listings in the UAE and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them. The service is free for buyers. You can also look at used cars or cars from the USA, Korea and Europe.
