Ceer Exobot: Saudi-Arabien baut erste eigene E-Autos mithilfe von Foxconn und BMW

Ceer, a Saudi Arabian electric car brand, has unveiled its first series models under the name Exobot. The company is set to produce the 5.26-meter long luxury sedan and the 5.1-meter SUV at a newly constructed facility on the Red Sea. Exact pricing has not been announced, but deliveries are expected to begin in early 2027. The launch will feature a "First Edition" version of both models.

Each Exobot is equipped with three electric motors powering all four wheels, generating a combined power output of 625 kW/850 PS and a maximum torque of 1,000 Nm. The sedan can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds, while the SUV requires 2.9 seconds. A 112 kWh battery is claimed to provide ranges of approximately 600 kilometers.

The company employs an 800-volt architecture, with charging capabilities up to 250 kW, a dual-cylinder air suspension, rear axle steering, and an electronic steer-by-wire system without a mechanical steering column.

Inside the vehicle, a 48-inch wide 8K display and additional screens in the center console and rear provide entertainment. The vehicles are specifically designed for the hot climate of the Gulf region, promising powerful air conditioning and heat-reflective glass.
