Lucid Motors will start production of its second model, the Lucid Gravity, before the end of the year after pre-production started earlier this summer. Sales in Europe will start in mid-2025 with the first deliveries taking place in early 2026, Alexander Lutz, Managing Director of the European market, confirmed.
Last week, EV reported that the deliveries in the U.S. —Lucid’s main market— are planned to start next year.
In an interview with the German media outlet Auto Motor und Sport, Lutz said “European sales for the Gravity will start in the summer of 2025” adding that the first customer deliveries will begin in early 2026.
Revealed at the LA Auto Show in November 2023, the pre-production of the SUV, which can fit up to seven occupants, began in late July at Lucid’s factory in Casa Grande, Arizona.
Although pricing details for the European markets were not yet unveiled, the executive said the company’s goal “is to price the Gravity as close to the Air as possible” noting that the model “starts at €85,000.”
The company announced earlier this month that the Grand Touring variant — priced from $94,900 — “is scheduled to begin production in late 2024 and the Lucid Gravity Touring is planned for late 2025, with pricing starting at $79,900.”
Asked about the mid-size vehicle planned for late 2026, Lutz revealed the model will be available in Europe “from 2027,” he said. “Until then, we focus on the Air and, next year, the Gravity.”
Year to date, Lucid has sold 700 in Europe, according to Auto Motor und Sport‘s report. In October, the EV maker signed a purchase agreement with the German rental firm SIXT to offer its model in the country.
Shares of the electric vehicle maker closed at $2.10 on Friday, one week after hitting a new all-time low of $1.93. As of this writing, Lucid’s stock is trading 1.90% higher in pre-market activity.
Year to date the stock has lost about 50% of its value.
