Lucid Partners With Emil Frey to Enter French Market

The arrangement aims to let Lucid enter France with operational scale without surrendering control of its import, brand or customer experience.

Overview

  • Lucid announced an operational partnership with Emil Frey France to support its market entry into France, with both companies describing the deal as import and services focused rather than a dealer franchise.
  • Lucid will keep its own import organisation and retain responsibility for brand, commercial strategy and customer experience, while Emil Frey France will provide tailored local operational services.
  • Lucid will present the Lucid Air sedan and Lucid Gravity SUV at the Paris Motor Show from October 12–18, 2026 as part of its official market introduction in France.
  • Neither company disclosed pricing, delivery timing, the planned number of retail locations, or sales-volume targets for the French launch.
  • The move fits into a slowed, more selective European rollout after executive changes and board reprioritisation, and follows a modest existing footprint in Europe with low registrations to date.
