Beseyat Score — how we rate cars
Every car on Beseyat gets a Beseyat Score out of 100 — a single, comparable number computed automatically from the specifications manufacturers actually publish. No opinions, no sponsorships: the same formula for every car.
The five sub-scores
Performance
Power-to-weight (horsepower per tonne) when the curb weight is published, otherwise engine power.
Efficiency
Fuel economy in km/L for combustion and hybrid cars; driving range for electric cars, ranked against other EVs only.
Safety
Airbag count plus the number of published driver-assistance (ADAS) features.
Value for money
How much power and safety equipment you get per riyal, based on the official starting price.
Warranty
Manufacturer warranty length in years and kilometers (unlimited-km warranties rank highest).
How the number is computed
Each sub-score is the car's percentile within its class — SUVs and crossovers rank against SUVs and crossovers, pickups against pickups, sports cars against sports cars — so a family SUV is never punished for not being a sports car.
The total is a weighted average that suits the body type: sports cars weight performance most, family vans weight safety and value, pickups weight capability and value. A car needs data for at least three sub-scores to receive a score at all.
Percentiles are mapped onto a 35–100 display scale (score = 35 + 0.65 × percentile), so the class median lands near 67 and only truly exceptional cars pass 85. Rankings are never changed by this mapping.
Inputs come only from the specifications in our catalog, which are sourced from official Saudi and manufacturer publications. Missing data is never guessed: a spec the manufacturer does not publish simply does not contribute.
An independent, data-driven editorial score computed from published specifications — not a safety certification.
