If you drive a petrol car in the UAE \u2014 and most of us do \u2014 your monthly bill just went up. A Nissan Patrol owner filling up regularly could be paying over AED 200 more a month than someone in a hybrid Corolla Cross. Switching to a hybrid sounds smart, but finding one on the used market is genuinely difficult right now. Here&#8217;s what the numbers look like and what you can actually do about it.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#F4F5FA;border-inline-start:4px solid #141652;border-radius:6px;padding:18px 22px;margin:28px 0;\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:1.05em;color:#141652;\">The short version<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-inline-start:22px;line-height:1.7;\">\n<li>About 96% of used cars listed on CarSwitch run on petrol \u2014 hybrids make up roughly 2%, electrics under 2%.<\/li>\n<li>A Patrol can cost around AED 900\u20131,100\/month in fuel; a Kicks more like AED 350\u2013450.<\/li>\n<li>Hybrid demand from buyers is almost 25%, but hybrid supply is barely 1% of listings.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to cut running costs now, a smaller petrol car saves more than waiting for a hybrid to appear.<\/li>\n<li>A used 2022 Kicks lists for around AED 58,000 \u2014 about 36% less than new.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n<h2>The car price in UAE is only half the story<\/h2>\n\n<p>When people search for <strong>car price in UAE<\/strong>, they usually think about the sticker. But fuel is the cost you pay every week, and it just climbed again. After September&#8217;s adjustment, Super 98 sits noticeably higher than it did in August.<\/p>\n\n<p>For context, according to CarSwitch listings data (July 2026), 96% of the cars on our platform are petrol. Hybrids account for about 2%. Electrics sit at roughly 2% as well. The used market is overwhelmingly petrol-powered, which means this price rise touches almost every car buyer.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What four popular models cost to fuel each month<\/h2>\n\n<p>We picked four models you&#8217;ll see all over Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. These monthly estimates assume around 1,500\u20132,000 km of driving \u2014 a normal mix of city and highway \u2014 using September 2026 pump prices.<\/p>\n\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:24px 0;font-size:0.95em;\">\n<caption style=\"caption-side:bottom;text-align:start;padding:8px 0 0;font-size:0.85em;color:#6B7280;\">Estimated monthly fuel cost by model \u2014 CarSwitch listings data, July 2026 &amp; September 2026 pump prices<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr><th style=\"background:#141652;color:#FFFFFF;padding:10px 12px;font-weight:600;text-align:start;\">Model<\/th><th style=\"background:#141652;color:#FFFFFF;padding:10px 12px;font-weight:600;text-align:center;\">Powertrain<\/th><th style=\"background:#141652;color:#FFFFFF;padding:10px 12px;font-weight:600;text-align:center;\">Est. monthly fuel (AED)<\/th><th style=\"background:#141652;color:#FFFFFF;padding:10px 12px;font-weight:600;text-align:center;\">Used listing price (AED)<\/th><\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:start;\">Nissan Patrol (V8)<\/td><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:center;\">Petrol<\/td><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:center;\">950\u20131,100<\/td><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:center;\">180,000<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:start;\">Toyota Camry 2.5L<\/td><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:center;\">Petrol<\/td><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:center;\">500\u2013600<\/td><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:center;\">\u2014<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:start;\">Nissan Kicks 2022<\/td><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:center;\">Petrol<\/td><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:center;\">350\u2013450<\/td><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:center;\">57,995<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:start;\">Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid<\/td><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:center;\">Hybrid<\/td><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:center;\">250\u2013320<\/td><td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #E1E4F0;text-align:center;\">Hard to find<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<p>The difference is stark. A <a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/uae\/used-cars\/nissan\/patrol\">Nissan Patrol<\/a> can burn through three times the fuel of a compact crossover like the Kicks. That&#8217;s not news to Patrol owners, but at September prices it adds up to roughly AED 600 more per month compared to the Kicks.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Corolla Cross Hybrid sits at the bottom of the table. It sips fuel. The problem? Good luck finding one used.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large cs-infographic\"><img src=\"https:\/\/newsroom.carswitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/september-fuel-price-rise-what-it-costs-to-run-your-car-infographic.png\" alt=\"What September's fuel rise costs you\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/figure><h2>The hybrid gap: huge demand, almost no supply<\/h2>\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s where it gets frustrating. Across CarSwitch, nearly 25% of buyer searches mention hybrids. But hybrid listings make up barely 1% of what&#8217;s actually available. That&#8217;s a massive mismatch.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote style=\"background:#F4F5FA;border:0;border-inline-start:4px solid #141652;border-radius:6px;margin:28px 0;padding:20px 24px;font-size:1.08em;line-height:1.65;font-style:normal;\"><p>&#8220;Buyers keep asking for hybrids, but the used supply just isn&#8217;t there yet. Most hybrids sold new in the last few years haven&#8217;t come back onto the market.&#8221;<\/p><cite style=\"display:block;margin-top:10px;font-size:0.86em;font-style:normal;font-weight:700;color:#141652;\">Kamel Abbou, Country Manager, UAE, at CarSwitch<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>This means that even if you want to switch to a hybrid to save on fuel, the choice on the used market is extremely limited. You&#8217;re either paying new-car prices or waiting for supply to catch up \u2014 and that could take another year or two.<\/p>\n\n<h2>So what can you actually do right now?<\/h2>\n\n<h3>Option 1: Downsize within petrol<\/h3>\n\n<p>The fastest way to cut your fuel bill is a smaller engine. A four-cylinder crossover like the Kicks uses roughly a third of the fuel a V8 Patrol does. A used 2022 Kicks lists for around AED 58,000 on CarSwitch \u2014 about 36% less than the new price of AED 91,000. That&#8217;s a saving of around AED 33,000 on the car itself, plus hundreds a month on fuel.<\/p>\n\n<p>Even stepping from a V8 SUV down to a V6 <a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/uae\/used-cars\/sedan-for-sale-in-uae\">sedan<\/a> makes a real dent in your monthly spending.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Option 2: Factor fuel into the car price in UAE before you buy<\/h3>\n\n<p>Most people compare the sticker and forget everything else. But if a Patrol costs AED 600 more to fuel each month than a Kicks, that&#8217;s AED 7,200 a year. Over three years of ownership, fuel alone adds over AED 21,000 to the cost of the bigger car. Factor that in when you&#8217;re shopping.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Option 3: Keep an eye on hybrid supply<\/h3>\n\n<p>Supply is thin today, but it is growing. In early 2024, hybrids were essentially zero on CarSwitch. By late 2024, they appeared at around 1\u20133% of listings. It&#8217;s moving, just slowly. If you can wait, set an alert and watch.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#FFFFFF;border:1px solid #E1E4F0;border-inline-start:4px solid #FF5450;border-radius:6px;padding:16px 20px;margin:28px 0;line-height:1.7;\"><strong style=\"color:#141652;font-weight:700;\">From CarSwitch data<\/strong><br>\nPetrol cars: 96% of all listings<br>\nHybrid buyer interest: roughly 25% of searches<br>\nHybrid supply: about 1% of listings<br>\nUsed 2022 Kicks: AED 57,995 \u2014 36% below new<\/div>\n\n<h2>Running costs matter more when fuel prices climb<\/h2>\n\n<p>A fuel price rise doesn&#8217;t change the <a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/uae\/used-cars\/under-15000-for-sale-in-uae\">car price in UAE<\/a> on paper. But it changes the total cost of owning that car over the next two or three years. A Patrol is still a fantastic vehicle \u2014 but its fuel bill is now AED 950 or more a month. If that doesn&#8217;t fit your budget, a smaller petrol car is the realistic move right now, not a hybrid that barely exists on the used market.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking at <a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/uae\/used-cars\/cars-on-installments\">car installments<\/a>, remember to add your estimated fuel spend on top. That monthly payment looks different when you include AED 450 for a Kicks versus AED 1,000 for a Patrol.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Find your next car with the full picture<\/h2>\n\n<p>Every car on CarSwitch is inspection-verified \u2014 so you&#8217;ll know exactly what you&#8217;re getting.

That&#8217;s about two to three times what a compact crossover like the Kicks costs to run.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1789227564717\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why are hybrid cars so hard to find on the used market in the UAE?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Hybrid demand is high \u2014 about a quarter of buyer searches on CarSwitch mention hybrids \u2014 but supply is barely 1% of listings. Most hybrids sold new in recent years haven&#8217;t re-entered the used market yet.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1789227564718\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What percentage of used cars in the UAE are petrol?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">About 96% of cars listed on CarSwitch run on petrol, based on July 2026 listings data. Hybrids and electrics together make up roughly 4%.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1789227564719\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is a smaller petrol car a better choice than waiting for a used hybrid?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Right now, yes. A compact petrol crossover like the Nissan Kicks costs around AED 350\u2013450 a month in fuel \u2014 far less than a large SUV. With hybrid supply so limited, downsizing within petrol is the most practical way to cut your fuel bill today.<\/p> <\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September&#8217;s fuel price rise hits petrol cars hardest.
