Lucid Group Expands European Dealer Network With Netherlands Partner

Lucid Expands Retail Presence in the Netherlands

On August 20, Lucid Group announced the expansion of its European dealer network through Munsterhuis Autobedrijven, its first retail partner in the Netherlands. The partnership marks a significant step in Lucid’s European retail strategy by creating a dedicated customer-facing presence in Hengelo. The new location will provide Dutch customers with direct access to the Lucid Air sedan and Lucid Gravity SUV, while also supporting authorized aftersales and service operations at the same site. By combining vehicle sales with local service capabilities, the partnership is designed to improve accessibility and strengthen Lucid’s presence in an important European market.

Hengelo Location to Support Sales and Aftersales

Munsterhuis Autobedrijven will operate a dedicated Lucid sales location in Hengelo, giving customers a local point of contact for the brand’s vehicles and services. The site will support both sales and authorized aftersales activities, allowing Lucid to establish a more integrated retail and ownership experience in the Netherlands. The arrangement also expands the company’s reach beyond its existing Studio and Service Center in Hilversum. For Dutch customers considering Lucid’s electric vehicle lineup, the partnership is expected to make the brand more accessible while providing a dedicated local channel for ongoing service requirements.

Lucid Highlights Netherlands Market Potential

Lawrence Hamilton, President of Europe at Lucid, said the Netherlands is a key market with strong interest in innovative and sustainable mobility. He also highlighted Munsterhuis’ longstanding reputation as a reason the retailer is considered an ideal partner for introducing more Dutch customers to the Lucid brand and its award-winning lineup. The appointment therefore reflects more than a sales expansion, as Lucid is using an established local automotive business to build customer confidence and strengthen market access. The strategy aligns the company’s premium electric vehicle offering with a partner already familiar with the Dutch automotive market.

Partnership Supports Lucid’s Hybrid Retail Strategy

The partnership continues Lucid’s hybrid retail strategy in Europe, which combines physical retail partners with the company’s own Studio and Service Center network. Earlier in 2026, Lucid announced a partnership with German retailer Wackenhut, adding another partner-led element to its European expansion. In the Netherlands, the new Munsterhuis relationship complements Lucid’s existing facility in Hilversum rather than replacing it. This approach gives Lucid additional flexibility as it expands market coverage, allowing the company to use established retailers alongside its directly operated locations while continuing to support customers across sales and aftersales operations.
