The 2026 Rox 1 arrives in Saudi Arabia as a plug-in hybrid premium MPV with a focus on six-seat comfort and a headline combined output of 470 bhp from a 1.5 L PHEV system. It is available in a single VIP (PHEV) specification, priced from SAR 272,000.
Power is delivered through a 1.5 L turbocharged engine working alongside electric motors via a CVT gearbox, producing 470 bhp of total system output. The 6-seat layout places the emphasis firmly on rear-cabin experience, consistent with premium MPV expectations at this price point. As with the UAE market, the single VIP (PHEV) trim means buyers receive full equipment as standard with no variant ladder to navigate.
Pros: the 470 bhp combined system output from a 1.5 L PHEV setup is exceptional for a family MPV and will appeal to Saudi buyers seeking performance without sacrificing practicality. The PHEV architecture suits Saudi Arabia's expanding charging infrastructure and VAT-inclusive running-cost calculations. Six-seat capacity in a premium environment is a strong proposition for family buyers who want more space than a large SUV. Cons: Rox's service and parts network in the Kingdom is still in its early stages, which may give pause to buyers who place high value on established dealer coverage across Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Eastern Province. No fuel economy figure is available yet, which makes it harder to compare against rivals on a total-cost-of-ownership basis. As a new brand in the market, resale value trajectory remains uncertain.
Resale value data for the Rox 1 in Saudi Arabia is not yet available — buyers should treat this as a premium early-adopter purchase and factor brand-new-market depreciation risk into their decision accordingly.
Saudi buyers cross-shopping the Rox 1 are likely also looking at the Kia Carnival, Toyota Vellfire, and LiXiang L9 — all premium multi-row alternatives with electrified options, though few match the Rox 1's combined power output in this body style.
How much does the ROX 1 cost in Saudi Arabia?
SAR 272,000 for the VIP (PHEV), with nothing above or below it. Everything the car offers is standard — all-wheel drive, six seats, 740 Nm and the full equipment list — so the showroom conversation is about colour and delivery date rather than about which boxes to tick.
What does the ROX 1 give you for the money?
A very large, very quiet SUV with genuine six-seat space and a drivetrain that behaves like an electric car without ever asking you to plan a journey around a charger. At 470 bhp combined it is quick for something this size, and the 5.5-second sprint is a by-product rather than the point.
ROX 1 or Li L9?
The ROX is longer, comes with all-wheel drive as standard and removes the trim decision entirely. The Li L9 is the more established car of the two, with a more developed rear cabin and considerably more of them on the road, which will matter when you sell. Both answer the same question about big families and long distances — and if you would rather have a petrol V6 and a dealer in every city, the Toyota Land Cruiser is the obvious counter-argument.
What does a ROX 1 cost to run in Saudi Arabia?
You can plug it in at home and cover short trips almost free, or ignore the charger completely and run it on petrol — the car works either way, which is the point of a range extender. The engine still needs its scheduled oil changes. Sales and servicing go through the brand's appointed distributor, and the warranty terms are worth reading before you order.
What should you check on a used ROX 1?
The petrol half is the part that gets neglected on a car like this, so read the service history for real oil changes rather than trusting a low odometer. Check the battery has been kept in use, that the powered seats and tailgate function, and get a full inspection on the individual car before agreeing a price.
