Lucid Registers 54 Vehicles Across European Markets in Q1

US EV maker Lucid Motors registered 24 vehicles across its four European markets in March, double the twelve units sold in February.

March registrations rose by a single unit from the 23 vehicles recorded a year earlier — when the company was selling only the Air sedan in the region — as gains in Germany offset sharp declines in the Netherlands.

Lucid registered 54 vehicles across Europe in the first quarter as the company onboards its first distributors and prepares to triple its continental footprint throughout 2026.

Registrations include test drive, showroom, and press vehicles and do not correspond directly to customer deliveries.

Gravity Deliveries

At the IAA Auto Show in Munich last September, management said the first European Gravity deliveries would take place in January.

However, as the first month of 2026 came to an end, the company had not announced the beginning of customer handovers in any of its European markets.

Although Lucid has not officially announced the start of Gravity deliveries in the region, most of the vehicle registrations recorded in March were for the Gravity model rather than the Air sedan.

Late last month, Lucid recalled more than 4,000 Gravity SUVs in the US — nearly all the vehicles produced until mid-February — after discovering that second-row seat belt anchors were not properly welded, a defect attributed to seat supplier Camaco Automotive.

President of Lucid Europe Lawrence Hamilton recently announced that the company is hosting a European Media Drive of the Gravity SUV in Mallorca, Spain — a country where the company is expected to launch this year.

Germany

Lucid registered 17 vehicles in Germany last month, its highest figure since January and a ten-unit increase from the seven vehicles sold exactly a year ago.

Data published by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) earlier this week showed that the March result more than doubled the seven units listed in February.

The first-quarter total stands at 35 registrations — matching the company’s first-quarter 2025 result in the market.

According to the data platform EU-EVs, March registrations included five Air sedans and 12 Gravity SUVs.

Germany remains Lucid‘s highest-volume European market. The company operates studios in Munich, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, and Hamburg.

On March 30, the company’s first European dealer agent — German dealer group Wackenhut — began selling and servicing the brand’s full vehicle portfolio from its Baden-Baden location.

Stuttgart is expected to follow this summer.

The family-owned mobility group represents brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG, Aston Martin, Smart, and Å koda across 11 locations.

Under the hybrid model, Lucid retains control over brand positioning and pricing while the dealer partner manages regional sales and service.

Interim CEO Marc Winterhoff first disclosed the signing during the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call in late February without identifying the partner. EV exclusively reported the deal on the same day.

Netherlands

Lucid registered four vehicles in the Netherlands in March, bringing its first-quarter total to seven units.

All seven registrations this year have been Gravity SUVs.

The Air sedan — which launched the brand in the Dutch market in late 2022 — has gone unsold since December, when 12 units were registered.

The March figure represents an eight-unit decline from the same month last year.

It remains unclear whether the Gravity units were customer deliveries or vehicles registered for showroom or press purposes.

Lucid established its European headquarters in the Netherlands in 2021 as it prepared to enter the continent.

The company opened its first European service, delivery, and sales center in the final weeks of 2022.

Lucid registered 53 vehicles in the Netherlands in 2025, a slight increase from 47 units in 2024.

Switzerland

In Switzerland, Lucid registered three vehicles in March — unchanged from the same month a year ago.

Last year, the three units were Lucid Air vehicles; this time, the vehicles registered were Gravity SUVs.

The first-quarter total stood at 11 registrations — two units below the same period a year ago, when only the Air sedan was available in the market.

In February, a Lucid employee in Switzerland wrote on LinkedIn that Gravity deliveries were officially beginning, with the first vehicles making their way onto Swiss roads.

Lucid opened its first retail location in Switzerland in November 2022 in Geneva, making it one of the company’s earliest European markets.

Norway

Lucid registered zero vehicles in Norway in March, following zero in February.

The brand has sold just one vehicle in the country in the first quarter — an Air sedan in January.

The March result represents a one-unit decline from a year ago.

Over the past eight months, the company has registered just two vehicles in the market, according to data from registration tracking platforms EU-EVs and Elbilstatistikk.

Lucid entered the Norwegian market in early 2023 with a showroom in Oslo.

The company has registered a total of 33 vehicles in the country since launch, according to Elbilstatistikk data, of which four were parallel imports.

Norway finished 2025 with 95% of all new vehicle sales being fully electric. In March, the share of EVs reached 98.4% — a new monthly record.

Despite that, the US EV maker has struggled to gain momentum in the market.

Demand in Europe

During the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call in late February, Morgan Stanley investor Andrew Percoco asked about expectations for European growth.

Winterhoff pointed to the mid-size platform launch as the primary growth driver.

“The vehicles that we have right now, with the Air and the Gravity, they’re still actually on the large side,” the interim CEO stated. “Therefore, there’s not a tremendous growth that we’re attributing to that region, which will change with the midsize.”

Last week, Lucid confirmed it will not enter the United Kingdom until 2027, when it plans to launch with the Cosmos — its upcoming mid-size SUV — rather than either of its current models, according to an interview with Hamilton published by AutoCar.

Besides its four main markets, Lucid announced earlier this year that it will officially launch in Belgium “this Summer.”

Denmark will follow later this year alongside France and five other markets, as the company plans to expand into eight additional European countries in 2026.
