Saudi automotive brand Ceer has unveiled two versions of its first electric vehicle, the Exobot — a sedan and a crossover. They look like machines from a futuristic video game, but these are real cars that will enter production in 2027, according to infohub.kz.
The Exobot's main visual feature is a massive 2.4-meter windshield that flows smoothly into the hood. Ceer claims it is the largest windshield among production cars.
The sedan measures 5.26 meters long, 2.1 meters wide, and 1.43 meters tall. The crossover is slightly shorter at 5.02 meters but noticeably taller. Both vehicles have doors that open upward. The manufacturer calls them Shahin Wing Doors, after the Saudi falcon.
The exterior is a story in itself. It feels as if the designer left his blueprints on the table, went to lunch, and his child decided to do a bit of work in his place. Only the result wasn't scrapped — it was put into production.
Technically, however, the Exobot looks far more serious. The top version will get three electric motors with a combined output of 1,111 horsepower and 1,500 Nm. The sedan will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.1 seconds, the crossover in 2.4 seconds.
At launch, the cars will be offered in a First Edition version with 850 hp and 1,000 Nm — accelerating to 100 km/h in 2.6 and 2.9 seconds respectively.
Both versions will get a 112 kWh battery. The sedan's range is claimed at 670 km, the crossover's at 560 km on the NEDC cycle. Thanks to an 800-volt architecture, charging from 10 to 80% takes less than 30 minutes.
The interior is also straight out of science fiction: a 48-inch screen spanning the entire upper part of the dashboard, a separate 10.4-inch multimedia touchscreen, and an 8-inch display for rear passengers. The steering wheel is shaped like a yoke, and the voice assistant uses artificial intelligence.
Ceer created the Exobot with the involvement of well-known technology partners. Foxconn is responsible for the electrical architecture, BMW provided engineering technologies, and electric drives are supplied by Rimac Technology and Hyundai Transys. Production will be set up in Saudi Arabia, in King Abdullah Economic City.
Prices have not yet been disclosed. Ceer promises to present five more models in 2028–2030. Moreover, the company has abandoned the idea of making only electric vehicles: the lineup will include hybrids and internal combustion engine cars.
Does the Exobot look strange? Definitely. But Chinese cars were once mocked too, and now they compete seriously with global brands. Perhaps in a few years, this design will also stop seeming like something from the future.
Earlier, Kursiv Auto reported that Volkswagen had unveiled an electric coupe with record-low consumption and an unusual design.
