Lucid Group Opens New State-of-The-Art Studio And Service Centre In Jeddah
Lucid Group, advanced electric vehicles manufacturer, has recently inaugurated a new Lucid Studio in Jeddah. This integrated retail, delivery, and service centre spans 23,000 square feet and aims to meet the increasing demand for the Lucid Air in Saudi Arabia.
Each Lucid Studio provides a digitally oriented experience tailored to customer preferences. Whether visiting in person or online, customers can explore the brand's distinctive design and learn about its products. The studios highlight the award-winning Lucid Air, offering insights into its technology and engineering from California.
The Jeddah Studio is situated at the Jeddah Auto Mall, a major attraction for car enthusiasts. This opening follows the recent launch of Lucid Studio Dubai in the UAE, reinforcing Lucid's dedication to delivering an exceptional electric vehicle experience in the region.
The service centre at Jeddah offers comprehensive mechanical and electrical maintenance services. Equipped with advanced diagnostic tools, it ensures top-tier maintenance by highly skilled technicians trained by Lucid. The centre features nine working bays for base plate repair and two mobile service units for enhanced flexibility.
"We're delighted to open this new space and offer one convenient location in Jeddah where customers can purchase and experience the incredible design and performance of the Lucid Air," said Faisal Sultan, Vice President and Managing Director Middle East at Lucid. "As Saudi Arabia focuses on expanding access to electric vehicles, our studios in Jeddah and Riyadh strengthen our commitment to this vision and will offer more customers access to the world's most advanced electric vehicle."
Operating six days a week from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, the centre provides various services including periodic maintenance, diagnostics, charging, software updates, tire alignment, balancing, and car washing. This extensive range ensures all aspects of vehicle care are covered efficiently.
Lucid's expansion in Saudi Arabia aligns with Vision 2030 goals of fostering innovation in the electric vehicle industry. The AMP-2 manufacturing facility in King Abdullah Economic City includes a semi knocked-down assembly operation and is developing a completely-built-up assembly operation. This expansion supports local talent development during this transition.
Additionally, Lucid offers a SR3,750 ($999) allowance for installing a home charging accessory by an approved provider in Saudi Arabia. New Lucid Air purchases also come with free scheduled maintenance for two years or 40,000 km, whichever comes first.
The studio's efficient design ensures quick turnaround times with minimal disruption to customers. Detailed consultations keep customers informed about their vehicle's progress and care throughout the service process.
