Forthing Friday 2026 Price in UAE

The Forthing Friday is the electric model in the range: a five-seat car of 4,600 mm with an 85.9 kWh battery — a large pack by the standards of anything at this price — a 435-litre boot and 180 mm of ground clearance.

How much does the Forthing Friday cost in the UAE?

One car, one number — the 85.9 Kwh EV at AED 145,000, with no version above or below it. What makes that number interesting is the battery behind it: capacity of this size normally belongs to cars costing considerably more, and it is the single specification everyone gets.

What does the Friday come with?

A big battery, a 14.6-inch screen, six airbags, 201 BHP through the front wheels and a boot that is genuinely useful. Performance is unremarkable by electric-car standards — around seven seconds to 100 km/h — but the pack size means fewer charging stops than most rivals at the price, which is the more useful quality day to day.

Forthing Friday or Forthing T5 Evo?

The Friday costs more but removes the fuel bill and most of the servicing, which pays back over years rather than months. The Forthing T5 Evo is the cheaper petrol alternative and the easier car to sell later, while the Forthing U-Tour is the one to take if seven seats matter more than running costs.

What does a Forthing Friday cost to run in the UAE?

Charging at home overnight is where the whole case for the car lies, and a battery this size means the ordinary week rarely involves a public charger at all. There are no oil changes, no filters and no gearbox service to book. After-sales runs through the brand's appointed distributor, so confirm what the battery warranty actually covers.

Does the Forthing Friday hold its value, and what should you watch for as it ages?

Marginally behind its class, at about 50% after five years against roughly 52% for the Chinese brands sold here — close enough that the gap is not a reason to choose or avoid it. Electric residuals turn on warranty cover far more than on badge, so how much of the battery term remains, and whether it transfers, is what will move the number on your particular car.

What should you check on a used Forthing Friday?

Battery state of health, always — it sets the value of any used electric car and cannot be judged from the outside. Then check the software, the charging port and how the interior has handled the heat. On a badge this small, a full inspection report on the individual car does more for your confidence than any brochure.

Work out the cost of a home charger before you compare it with the petrol models.
