To accurately estimate AED costs for a standard Toyota Camry 2.0L CVT in the UAE, you should budget for approximately 3.0 to 3.5 AED per kilometer when including fuel, insurance, maintenance, and depreciation over a typical 5-year ownership. For example, running the car for 20,000 km in a year will cost around 60,000 to 70,000 AED in total. The primary cost components is fuel, where the Camry achieves an official average of 14.5 km/l on Special 95 petrol (per 2024 Abu Dhabi Mobility guide data for the GCC-spec model), translating to a fuel cost of about 0.23 AED/km at current prices of around 3.33 AED/litre. The RTA Dubai mandates a comprehensive insurance average of 2,500 AED/year for such a sedan, adding 0.125 AED/km at our base mileage. Annual maintenance at agency service centers for a new car averages 1,800 AED as per common dealer schedules, contributing another 0.09 AED/km. The most significant factor is the annual depreciation, which based on the Central Bank of the UAE's 2023 vehicle depreciation report front-loads in the first three years, you can expect a Toyota Camry to lose about 12,000 AED in value annually (15% of a typical 80,000 AED purchase price), adding about 0.6 AED/km. A useful short conclusion for cost planning is that the annual toll (Salik) and parking fees in Dubai adds another 2,000-3,000 AED for most commuters. < b > Fuel cost for a sedan like the Camry is roughly 0.23 AED per kilometer. < /b > Remember, this total cost per km (TCO) is a running average. < b > Annual depreciation often exceeds the combined cost of fuel and insurance. < /b > Actual costs can be 20% lower if you drive less in city traffic or higher if you frequently face heavy Dubai-Sharjah rush-hour traffic. < b > For accurate used-car valuation, check depreciation rates specific to GCC-spec models. < /b >
