Lucid Motors has opened orders for the entry-level variant of its second model, the Gravity SUV, starting with Saudi Arabia, the company said in a LinkedIn post on Tuesday.
“For the first time ever — anywhere in the world — Lucid Gravity Touring is now available to order,” the U.S.-based electric vehicle maker said.
Customers in Saudi Arabia can reserve the vehicle with a fully refundable deposit of SAR 10,000 ($2,670). Prices for the Touring variant start at SAR 416,645 ($111,060), according to Lucid’s Saudi website.
Those prices exclude a documentation and registration fee of SAR 2,500 and 15% value-added tax, which adds more than SAR 50,000 to the base price.
Lucid had said in January that the Touring variant would be “available to order soon.” Deliveries of this lower-priced model are scheduled to begin in “late 2025.”
Lucid has said it will begin producing the $80,000 U.S.-priced entry-level variant in late 2025, following a year of production focused on the higher-end model, which is expected to support the company’s target to double production to over 20,000 units in 2025.
For the high-end Gravity Grand Touring variant, Lucid began accepting orders in the United States and Canada in late 2024, with Saudi Arabia following shortly after.
Lucid delivered the first units of the Gravity SUV late last year. However, these were only provided to employees, friends, and family members. No date has been announced for the start of customer deliveries. European deliveries are expected to begin in early 2026.
High-End Variant First, Then Entry-Level
The company is following a staggered launch approach, beginning with the higher-margin Grand Touring variant, priced from SAR 487,715 ($130,000) in Saudi Arabia. Lucid’s website notes that this price is based on configurations expected to be available in June 2025 and warns that some features may not be available at launch.
Configurations currently available in Saudi Arabia for early buyers start at SAR 559,015 ($149,050), including VAT, transportation fees, and documentation costs.
Saudi Arabia Role
Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), which holds more than 60% of Lucid following its latest capital raise, has played a key role in the company’s expansion. Lucid began taking orders for the Grand Touring variant in the kingdom in January 2024.
Lucid’s Vice President and Managing Director for the Middle East, Faisal Sultan, said earlier this year the company is on track to produce over 10,000 vehicles annually in Saudi Arabia, adding that production schedules would be adjusted based on international demand.
