At the 2024 Electric Vehicle Innovation Summit (EVIS) held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), American luxury EV manufacturer, Lucid Motors, presented more than just a reiteration of their Air sedan. The company formally unveiled the Grand Touring variant, the penultimate iteration within the Air lineup.
Earlier in 2024, Lucid launched the Air in Saudi Arabia and announced plans for local assembly. These sedans will be built to meet the specifications of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), ensuring compliance across the Middle East.
In a conversation with DubiCars at EVIS 2024, Lucid mentioned the upcoming opening of its new showroom at City Walk in Dubai. This suggests an imminent launch of the Lucid Air in the UAE market.
