Saudi Arabia’s first flagship electric models include a sedan and SUV with tri-motor power.
CEER has revealed its first flagship electric vehicles, the Exobot sedan and Exobot SUV. Saudi Arabia’s national automotive company unveiled the models at its manufacturing complex in King Abdullah Economic City.
The Exobot range will launch with a limited First Edition. A more powerful Exobot Plus will follow, offering up to 1,111 hp and 1,500 Nm of torque from a tri-motor setup.
CEER Exobot Gets Futuristic Design
The Exobot models feature a futuristic design inspired by Saudi landscapes and heritage. CEER says the styling includes elements inspired by Hegra architecture.
The sedan measures 5,260mm long, 2,100mm wide and 1,430mm tall. The SUV measures 5,020mm long, 2,100mm wide and 1,690mm tall. Both models feature a 2.4-metre-long windshield. It is positioned at a 15-degree angle to support aerodynamics, visibility and solar heat management. The vehicles also get large Shahin wing doors. These doors are nearly three metres long and open through a 60cm arc.
Exobot Power And Performance
The top-spec Exobot Plus uses three electric motors and all-wheel drive. It produces up to 1,111 hp and 1,500 Nm of torque. The sedan can accelerate from 0-100 kmph in 2.1 seconds. Its top speed is rated at 250 kmph.
The SUV completes the same sprint in 2.4 seconds. Its top speed is limited to 210 kmph. The cars use continuous torque vectoring and active chassis systems. These systems are designed to manage stability and vehicle response.

Safety And Driver Assistance
The Exobot uses a cell-to-pack battery structure and an aluminium casting and extrusion space frame. Seven airbags are also part of the safety package.
Its driver-assistance systems support hands-free driving and automated lane changes. The system also supports point-to-point highway navigation. Over-the-air updates are planned for the vehicles. These updates are intended to add features and improve vehicle performance over time.
CEER Exobot Production And Sales
CEER plans to manufacture the Exobot range at its manufacturing complex in King Abdullah Economic City. The company describes the facility as the largest automotive production facility in the Middle East.
CEER aims to achieve 45% local content by 2034. The Exobot range will launch with the limited First Edition before the Exobot Plus arrives. Sales of the Exobot models in Saudi Arabia are expected to begin in early 2027. The company also plans a seven-model vehicle portfolio by 2030.
