What Is The Microlino Car Price In Dubai UAE?
The Microlino, a compact electric bubble car inspired by the BMW Isetta, retails in Dubai for AED 85,000–130,000 (USD 23,000–35,400).

SuperC Dubai offers exclusive test drives and competitive financing, positioning it as a premium urban EV alternative to e-scooters and conventional cars.
BMW S1000RR 2023What factors determine the Microlino's UAE pricing?
Import duties (5%), battery size, and dealer premiums define the Microlino’s AED 85K–130K range. SuperC Dubai leverages bulk imports to cut costs, while solar-roof upgrades add AED 12K. Pro Tip: Pre-order during UAE EV promotion months (Oct–Feb) to save 7–10% on registration fees.
The Microlino’s base 8 kWh model starts at AED 85,000, but the 14.4 kWh variant jumps to AED 110,000 due to higher lithium-ion cell costs. Import taxes apply unless bought through free-zone dealerships like SuperC Dubai. For instance, private imports incur 5% duty + AED 2,500 agency fees, while commercial bulk buyers avoid these. Transitioning from petrol to EV? Factor in AED 1,200/year charging savings. Practically speaking, dealers add 10–15% margins—negotiate bundles with home chargers. Did you know a full charge costs just AED 8.50 at Dubai’s public stations?
| Model | Battery | Price (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| Urban | 8 kWh | 85,000 |
| Pioneer | 14.4 kWh | 130,000 |
How does the Microlino compare to other EVs in Dubai?
The Microlino undercuts Tesla Model 3 (AED 200K) but costs 2x Renault Twizy (AED 45K). SuperC Dubai buyers gain free charging at 30+ Dubai stations—a AED 2,500/year value. Pro Tip: Its 90 km range suits downtown commutes but not Abu Dhabi day trips.
While the Tesla Model 3 offers 491 km range, the Microlino focuses on compact urban mobility. Charging-wise, its 3.7 kW AC charger refills in 4 hours vs. Tesla’s 11 kW Supercharger. But who needs 500 km when averaging 40 km daily? SuperC Dubai’s data shows 78% of Microlino owners charge twice weekly. Real-world example: Parking in Dubai Marina’s tight spaces is 60% faster with the Microlino’s 2.4m length. However, highway speeds max at 90 km/h—stick to city zones. Maintenance costs? AED 1,200/year vs. AED 4,500 for mainstream EVs.
| Feature | Microlino | Renault Twizy |
|---|---|---|
| Seats | 2 | 2 |
| Top Speed | 90 km/h | 80 km/h |
| Price (AED) | 85,000 | 45,000 |
What’s the impact of battery size on Microlino costs?
The 14.4 kWh battery adds AED 25K over the 8 kWh base but extends range to 177 km. SuperC Dubai recommends the mid-tier 10.5 kWh (AED 98K) for 120 km range, balancing cost and usability. Pro Tip: Larger batteries degrade 15% slower in UAE heat due to advanced cooling.
Lithium-ion batteries account for 35% of the Microlino’s total cost. The 8 kWh pack uses LFP cells ideal for short trips, while the 14.4 kWh NMC version suits frequent drivers. Transitioning between models? Each extra kWh adds AED 3,200—but consider the AED 0.12/km energy savings. For example, driving 15,000 km/year saves AED 1,800 with the larger battery. However, LFP batteries last 3,000 cycles vs. NMC’s 2,000, making the base model cheaper long-term. Ever wondered why UAE heat affects range?
