The first vehicle built on this platform will be a mid-size crossover SUV, followed by a more rugged version inspired by the Gravity X concept, and later, a mid-size sedan. Although these vehicles will be priced lower than Lucid’s current Air and Gravity models, the company says that they will still focus on long driving range, efficiency, and spacious interiors. Meanwhile, Lucid expects production of these vehicles to begin in Saudi Arabia around 2026 or 2027, with the company hoping to reach full manufacturing capacity by 2029.

Moreover, at the center of the new platform will be Atlas, which is Lucid’s newly designed electric drive unit. According to the company, Atlas uses a smaller, lighter, and simpler design with identical front and rear housings to simplify manufacturing and reduce costs. During the presentation, management also said that Lucid believes it has a path to becoming cash-flow positive later in the decade. In addition, Lucid said that its mid-size platform and planned entry into the robotaxi market could significantly expand the company’s overall market opportunity.
