Lucid Motors has begun building its Gravity SUV for Europe, with the first customer deliveries expected in early January, executives said at the model’s regional debut at the IAA Auto Show in Munich.
Orders for the brand’s second model opened earlier this week across Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Norway.
Prices for the Gravity Touring start at €99,900 ($117,000) for the five-seat configuration.
The Grand Touring, which opened for order on Monday, is priced from €116,900 ($136,980), with a fully loaded version reaching €151,550 ($177,700).
“First deliveries we’re expecting at the very beginning of January,” Lawrence Hamilton, Lucid’s head for Europe, said on Wednesday. “European production has already started.”
Interim chief executive Marc Winterhoff added that initial builds are already rolling off the line.
“Even the first builds are being built already right now. They will come by the end of this year and then be available for delivery — I believe — beginning of next year,” he said.
“Maybe we can move one or two by the end of this year,” he teased. “But yeah, we’re ramping up in a few.”
Winterhoff acknowledged that Gravity production faced “a little bit of a rough time” in its first months due to supply chain constraints, including disruptions in sourcing rare earth magnets amid US–China trade tensions.
He said those issues had eased. “We have solved all those problems. And so Gravity is really ramping right now,” he told reporters.
Separately, Winterhoff confirmed Lucid has reopened internal discussions about producing a right-hand drive version of the Gravity, which could open access to markets such as the UK, Singapore, Japan, Australia and India.
Lucid currently sells its Air sedan in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Norway, and is preparing to enter Belgium and Denmark.
The company announced at the same media session plans to expand also into France, and five more European markets in 2026.
The Gravity SUV is Lucid’s second model after the Air.
Executives expect it to overtake the sedan in deliveries in the second half of next year as production ramps up at the company’s plant in Casa Grande, Arizona.
