Ford’s Biggest Saudi Sales Boom Since 2016 – Here’s Why
TL;DR
  • Ford’s Saudi sales up 16% year-to-date; strongest August since 2016
  • Ranks fifth by sales volume in the Kingdom
  • Territory Hybrid and all-new Expedition headline 2025 launches

Ford is charging ahead in Saudi Arabia, recording a 16% year-to-date sales increase compared to August 2024 — its best August since 2016. The brand now ranks fifth by sales volume in the Kingdom, powered by steady demand for the Taurus, Territory and Everest.

  • 16% year-to-date growth in Saudi Arabia
  • Best August performance since 2016
  • Top-selling models: Taurus, Territory, Everest

This strong showing cements Saudi Arabia as Ford’s largest market in the Middle East and North Africa. Ravi Ravichandran, Ford MENA President, credited the growth to “dedicated teams and trusted partners,” while emphasising Ford’s long-term commitment to the Kingdom’s evolving automotive landscape.


Regional Strength: Ford’s Middle East Growth Story

Ford isn’t just winning in Saudi Arabia. Across the Middle East, the brand’s growth has surged nearly 140% over the past three years, with Saudi Arabia leading regional sales, followed by the UAE and Kuwait.

  • Ford ranks fifth among automakers by volume in the region
  • Territory and Taurus remain top sellers
  • Everest sales up 57% year-on-year
  • Ford is the fastest-growing brand among the top five OEMs

The Territory and Taurus continue to anchor volume, while the Everest’s 57% jump makes it the standout SUV performer. Ford’s Raptor range — Bronco, F-150 and Ranger — continues to lead the performance segment, keeping loyal fans hooked.


New Launches for 2025: Territory Hybrid and Expedition

The 2025 lineup brings two major debuts to Saudi Arabia — the new Territory Hybrid and the all-new Expedition. Both vehicles were showcased at a Riyadh driving experience this week, highlighting Ford’s blend of performance, technology and efficiency.

  • Territory Hybrid joins Ford’s growing hybrid/EV range
  • Expedition redesigned for modern families
  • Mustang Mach-E EV launching soon in the region

The Territory Hybrid marks Ford’s continued investment in electrified mobility, now offering four hybrid or electric options in the region. It aligns perfectly with Saudi Vision 2030’s focus on sustainability and next-gen transport solutions.

Ford isn’t stopping at cars. The company’s connected services app is set to launch in Saudi Arabia soon, offering owners remote access to key features like vehicle information and remote start.

  • New connected app enhances user experience
  • Seamless control via smartphone
  • Strengthens after-sales and customer support

Combined with new vehicles like the Mustang Mach-E and Lincoln Navigator due in 2025, Ford’s digital push aims to keep customers more connected than ever.
