ROX Motor expands into Saudi Arabia with LEAP 2025 debut

ROX Motor, a Chinese luxury new energy vehicle brand, officially entered the Saudi market with the debut of its luxury all-terrain SUV, ROX 01, at the LEAP 2025 exhibition. The company has already secured multiple orders, with sales now underway. In addition, ROX Motor, in partnership with the Laith Al-Obaidi Group, officially opened its first Saudi showroom in Riyadh, providing local customers with a more comprehensive and convenient car-buying experience. The brand’s flagship Saudi showroom on Khurais Road is set to open later this month.

Aligned with the global transition toward sustainable mobility, Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiatives present a unique market opportunity for ROX Motor to play a leading role in the country’s automotive future.

Jarvis Yan, co-founder and CEO of ROX Motor, said: “Our participation in LEAP marks just the beginning of our long-term commitment to the Saudi market. We’ve tailored our strategy to align with the country’s cultural landscape, consumer preferences, and regulatory framework, ensuring that our products and services are fully aligned with the local market’s demands. Looking ahead, we are excited to announce that we will be launching a new global model in the second half of this year, with plans to introduce one new model annually as part of our steady expansion strategy.”

This commitment is reflected in ROX 01, which integrates extended-range technology, offering zero emissions in electric mode and superior fuel efficiency in extended-range mode — perfectly aligning with Saudi Arabia’s sustainability goals. Its all-terrain capabilities enable seamless navigation across Saudi Arabia’s diverse landscapes, ranging from expansive deserts to rugged mountains, while its intelligent driving systems also provide an exceptional experience for urban and daily driving.

Further enhancing its dedication to Saudi customers, ROX Motor has integrated market-specific innovations, including Arabic voice interaction controls and climate-specific adaptations such as a high-capacity air-conditioning system, an electric drivetrain cooling system, and UV-blocking electric sunshades. 

Additionally, ROX Motor has signed MoUs with Stellar Gate Games, a joint venture between NetEase Games and Sandsoft, and COFE, a leading digital coffee platform, to jointly promote the development of ROX 01’s intelligent in-car cabin and outdoor lifestyles in Saudi Arabia, further demonstrating the brand’s focus on providing regionally customized solutions for customers across all markets.

Since its global expansion began in 2024, ROX Motor has exceeded 10,000 orders for the ROX 01 and established sales and service networks in over 20 countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kazakhstan, and the UAE, where the ROX 01 now ranks third in the luxury SUV segment, trailing only the Land Rover Defender and Range Rover. With a solid foundation and strategic vision, ROX Motor is poised for continued growth, delivering innovative, luxury, and adventure-ready solutions to customers in Saudi Arabia and beyond.

ALJ Motors champions Toyota SUVs’ off-road legacy

Abdul Latif Jameel Motors, the authorized distributor of Toyota vehicles in Saudi Arabia since 1955, has launched the second edition of its off-road initiative — an immersive driving experience designed to engage guests and showcase the real-world capabilities of Toyota’s SUV lineup in the Kingdom’s desert terrains. The activation takes place on weekends, starting initially in Riyadh and continuing through Jeddah, before concluding in Dammam on Jan. 24.
The multi-city activation is designed to engage guests through Toyota’s SUV lineup in fun and exciting ways, offering a hands-on opportunity to experience vehicle performance, control, and versatility. The lineup features a wide range of Toyota SUV models, including the Land Cruiser HEV Max, a hybrid vehicle built for performance. Beyond the off-road drives, the activation offers a welcoming weekend setting with supporting activities suitable for families and younger guests, creating a well-rounded experience for visitors of all ages.
Building on the success of its inaugural edition, which welcomed more than 4,500 participants and attracted over 10,000 attendees, the second edition continues to focus on meaningful guest engagement through interactive and experiential driving activities while emphasizing safety, trust, and enjoyment. Through this approach, ALJ Motors champions Toyota’s off-road legacy while creating an experience that further connects guests with Toyota’s renowned SUV lineup.
Shahad Nassier, managing director of marketing communications at ALJ Motors, said: “Following the strong response to the inaugural season, the return of this off-road experience allows us to continue engaging our guests in an authentic and exciting way. In this second edition, we have further refined the driving routes and elevated the overall experience to better serve our guests and their families. By bringing Toyota’s SUV lineup into real desert environments, we provide an opportunity for guests to experience vehicle performance firsthand, while reinforcing the values of reliability and capability that have long defined Toyota’s presence in the Kingdom.”
The experiential initiative deepens guest relationships, supports informed vehicle choice, and reflects ALJ Motors’ ongoing role in delivering reliable and diversified mobility solutions across the Kingdom, in line with Saudi Vision 2030. 
Guests interested in participating in the off-road experience can register for the upcoming activations in Jeddah on Jan. 9-10, followed by Dammam on Jan. 16-17 and 23-24, through ALJ Motors’ official social channels.
