12 New Cars Debuted in Egypt Last August: From a 1,100 km Hybrid SUV to Electric Luxury
The Egyptian car market saw 12 new model launches during August, headlined by the MG RX9 hybrid with seven seats and a 1,100 km total range. The DFSK E5 Plus 2027 also arrived with a starting price of EGP 1,494,900, a 7-year warranty, and a 1,200 km hybrid range. The month also marked the regional debut of the fully electric Rolls-Royce Spectre Series II in Egypt.
The Egyptian auto market witnessed a remarkable surge last August, with 12 new models making their debut in a single month. The lineup ranged from family-oriented SUVs and fuel-efficient hybrids to a fully electric luxury icon. Several models appeared for the very first time in the local market, while others marked the start of local assembly after years of relying on imports.
MG RX9 Hybrid: Seven Seats and a 1,100 km Range
Al-Mansour Automotive, the official MG dealer in Egypt, unveiled the highly anticipated MG RX9 hybrid, a seven-seat family SUV. The standout figure here is the total driving range of 1,100 km — a practical advantage for intercity travel. The car comes with a 6-year or 150,000 km warranty, whichever comes first.
The dimensions are generous by any standard. The car measures 4,983 mm in length, 1,967 mm in width, and 1,778 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,915 mm. Cargo capacity reaches an impressive 1,026 liters. Under the hood, a hybrid system combines a 1.5-liter engine with a 24.7 kWh battery, producing a combined 295 hp and 390 Nm of torque, with an electric-only range of 100 km.
DFSK E5 Plus 2027: 4-Year Free Maintenance and Extended Warranty
Meanwhile, Al-Tarek Automotive, the official DFSK distributor, announced the availability of the E5 Plus 2027 model in the local market at a starting price of EGP 1,494,900. The offer includes free maintenance for 4 years or 60,000 km, plus a 7-year or 150,000 km warranty — figures that signal strong confidence in the product.
The E5 Plus is powered by a 1.5-liter engine delivering 214 hp and 330 Nm of torque. Its pure electric range stands at 129 km. The battery can be fully charged in just 4 hours using a 6.6 kW charger. The total hybrid range reaches an outstanding 1,200 km — a number that outperforms many rivals in the same category. This model offers exceptional value for money, especially with its high level of local component integration.
Rolls-Royce Spectre Series II: Regional Debut in Egypt
The biggest headline of August, however, was the regional premiere of the Rolls-Royce Spectre Series II. The latest iteration of the brand's fully electric super coupé was presented at a distinctive event, giving invited guests the chance to experience what is quickly becoming one of the marque's most sought-after designs for bespoke commissions. This move underscores the commitment of local dealers to bring the newest global products to market immediately after launch, even in the highest price brackets — the car represents a radical shift in the brand's philosophy toward full electrification without compromising an ounce of luxury.
The momentum seen in August reflects a clear trend toward technical diversity in the Egyptian market. From a family hybrid with exceptional range, to a practical model with an extended warranty, to a British electric masterpiece — the local market is no longer a bystander to the global shift toward electrification. It's actively participating in it. With this pace continuing, the coming months promise even more surprises in Egypt's new car segment.
