EV maker Lucid Motors will make the European debut of its second model at the IAA Auto show in Munich next month, as it prepares to expand its portfolio on the Old Continent.
The Gravity, the US company’s second model after the Air sedan, will be displayed alongside the Air Grand Touring and the high-performance Air Sapphire, Lucid said in an email sent on Tuesday.
Lucid said the long-awaited SUV, which began rolling off the production line in December, will headline its presence at the exhibition.
The company expects deliveries of the model to surpass figures from the Air sedan in the second half of 2025 as production ramp up continues.
Tuesday’s email promoted the SUV’s first European appearance in Munich, saying: “Visit us and experience the record-breaking Lucid Air Grand Touring, the world’s first electric luxury super-sports sedan – the Lucid Air Sapphire – and, for the first time in Europe, the long-awaited Lucid Gravity.”
Lucid did not confirm whether orders would open at the IAA debut and provided no timeline for the first European deliveries.
“Admission to IAA Mobility is free. You can find Lucid both at our booth in the Brunnenhof (RB680) and at the Lucid Studio, Odeonsplatz 2 in Munich,” the company added in the email.
As part of validation testing, the company had recently completed a 5,000-mile drive from Munich to the Arctic Circle.
Pricing and configuration details have not yet been disclosed, though Lucid’s former European chief Alexander Lutz said last year that sales would start in mid-2025 with first deliveries in early 2026.
At the time, he added that the goal was “to price the Gravity as close to the Air as possible,” noting that the sedan “starts at €85,000.”
The debut comes as Lucid works to expand its retail network in Switzerland.
The company operates showrooms in eight cities including Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Oslo, and plans to add a new location in Zurich this autumn.
In June it launched a fleet programme in Germany targeted at business clients with customised mobility packages and cross-border agreements.
Lawrence Hamilton, Lucid’s European managing director, said in June the group expects to expand into the UK, France, Italy and Spain over the next 18 months, with Belgium and Denmark also among its target markets.
Lucid Motors’ interim chief executive, Marc Winterhoff, told reservation holders of the Gravity SUV last week that while most configurations are now in production, some remain affected by component shortages.
In a new email to customers obtained by EV, Winterhoff said the production ramp-up of the seven-seat SUV had “faced a few challenges, including supplier constraints.”
