Lucid Motors is expanding its global reach as the company prepares to send a new shipment of its Gravity electric SUVs to Saudi Arabia. The move follows a period of increased production and sustained growth.
In the first quarter of 2025, Lucid delivered 3,109 vehicles, marking its fifth consecutive quarter of record deliveries, according to company figures. Although deliveries to Saudi Arabia were limited earlier in the year due to a system update, the issue has been resolved. Production at the Arizona facility reached 2,213 units, with an additional 600 vehicles currently en route to Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia remains a crucial market for Lucid. The company recently launched its first international manufacturing site, AMP-2, in King Abdullah Economic City, Jeddah. Initially, vehicles are shipped from Arizona for final assembly in Saudi Arabia, but Lucid aims to eventually achieve full vehicle assembly at the new plant, targeting an extra annual capacity of 150,000 cars.
Adrian Price, Lucid’s Senior Vice President, confirmed that the second batch of Gravity SUVs is ready to be shipped to Saudi Arabia. The company expects to produce 20,000 vehicles this year, more than double the roughly 9,000 units produced in 2024, as reported by Lucid.
Financially, Lucid ended the first quarter with about $5.76 billion in liquidity, which it says will support operations through the second half of 2026. By then, Lucid plans to introduce its new midsize vehicle platform. Interim CEO Marc Winterhoff stated that the midsize platform could be a significant milestone for the company.
- The first vehicles on this new platform are expected to include an electric sedan and SUV
- Starting prices around $50,000, aiming to compete directly with the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y
- The current Lucid Gravity Grand Touring model starts at $94,900 with up to 450 miles of range
- A more affordable Touring trim will launch later in the year at $79,900
Lucid’s ongoing expansion and product development signal its commitment to growing its presence in key international markets, with Saudi Arabia playing a central role in its global strategy.
