Technical approach

As reported

Efficiency-first motor design

Independent motor architecture

146 MPGe via motor efficiency, thermal management, and aerodynamics. Independent motors per axle improve efficiency and handling.

Air and Gravity platform

Shared modular chassis

Both sedans and the Gravity SUV share underlying EV architecture, enabling rapid development of new body styles using proven powertrains and batteries.

Mass-market platform

Next-generation powertrain

New motors more compact and efficient than current models, targeting the $50,000 segment with three vehicle variants to be built in Saudi Arabia.
