A bold new chapter in the electric vehicle market is being written in the Middle East with the introduction of the groundbreaking exobot suv series by CEER. Spearheaded by Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, CEER has emerged as the region’s first EV brand. Their inaugural SUV and sedan models are manufactured in the ultra-modern CEER Manufacturing Complex, promising to rival established giants like Tesla and Rivian.

Distinctively, the Exobot vehicles feature an expansive 2.5-meter windshield set at a 15-degree angle to accentuate the open-air experience. The design incorporates unique lighting, with 32 variable LED elements and wind-defying gull-wing doors that open to a generous 10-foot span.
The revolutionary sedan, measuring 5,260 mm in length and 1,428 mm in height, distinguishes itself with performance metrics that outstrip many competitors. From standstill to over 60 mph in 2.1 seconds with the Top trim, this EV exceeds expectations with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph and a range of 416 miles per charge. The power comes via an 800-volt platform also featured in the SUV.
The SUV matches the sedan’s sophisticated engineering with dimensions of 5,016 mm length, 2,101 mm width, and 1,693 mm height. Offering a wheelbase of 3,200 mm and a range of 348 miles, this vehicle embodies luxury and practicality. The interior is equipped with a yoke-shaped steering wheel and an 8K panoramic screen, redefining the driver’s visual interface.
Set to hit the market in early 2027, the first editions will start with limited First Edition sales in the Gulf region, with customizable Plus trims released later. Specific pricing details remain under wraps, leaving anticipation high among potential buyers eager to see how CEER’s offerings measure up to current electric vehicle titans.
The advancements in these vehicles underscore Saudi Arabia’s ambitious stride into the global automotive stage, aiming not just for participation, but leadership. The exobot lineup is not merely about style or speed—it represents a vision of innovation.
