Lucid Prepares Next Wave Of EVs As Trademarks Signal Product Expansion
Several new trademarks have revealed the possible names for Lucid's next models, as the company looks to expand its lineup beyond the full-size Air sedan and Gravity three-row SUV. Considering Lucid already occupies these segments, these future models should hopefully be more affordable, giving the brand higher-volume alternatives to the Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y. The brand has, after all, already teased a midsize SUV and confirmed a Model Y competitor. Here's a look at all the latest Lucid trademarks. The Lucid Earth trademark already popped up a few weeks ago, and it has since been confirmed that this will be a new smaller EV. It's set to go into production in 2026, when it should compete head-on with the Tesla Model Y. The newest trademark is for an Earth Dream Edition, filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office, adding further confirmation that this is a new Lucid production model. The brand's Dream Edition EVs are typically sold for a limited time after a new car is launched. They offer the best outputs and features, and also carry the highest prices. A price of under $50,000 and a class-leading range are expected for this model, but the Dream Edition could cost more than this. Another trademark, this time filed with the Government of Canada, is for the Lucid Ocean. If that name sounds familiar, you may be thinking of the Fisker Ocean SUV. However, Fisker's recent bankruptcy presumably means that the "Ocean" name is back up for grabs, and since it fits in thematically with other Lucid model names, it's a logical choice. It's not known what vehicle the Ocean name could apply to, but a smaller sedan to slot in below the Air sounds like a logical move. It would give the brand a true BMW i5 and Mercedes-Benz EQE rival, leaving the Air to do battle with the i7 and EQS. The last time "Lucid Space" was mentioned, it was by former Lucid CEO, Peter Rawlinson. However, he was specifically referring to the Lucid Space Concept, which doesn't refer to a particular model, but references one of the brand's philosophies. Rawlinson was explaining how Lucid cars free up an amount of interior space beyond the physical footprint of a given vehicle. Once again, though, "Space" fits in well with other Lucid names like Gravity and Air, referencing the elements and/or the natural environment. Last year, Lucid ruled out a station wagon, but was open to the idea of a more rugged vehicle. Given the brand's luxury focus, a classy coupe doesn't seem out of the question, but electric coupes are exceedingly rare. The word "Space" sounds applicable to something larger, but the Air and Gravity are already full-size models, so it's anyone's guess what this model could be. While Lucid has not yet come close to toppling Tesla, it's doing what a lot of other EV startups couldn't: surviving. And, with only two high-end models on sale presently, the potential for growth is enormous if the brand launches two or more models that are more accessible. The Earth is the only one that looks like a guarantee, but we can't wait to see the possibilities of the Ocean and Space nameplates. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

MGS6 EV: New mid-size electric SUV coming to Australia
MG is busily expanding its electric vehicle (EV) lineup in Australia, and in the pipeline is the as-yet unrevealed MGS6 EV. The vehicle has appeared in Australian Government approval documents and, while these don't yet show details like dimensions, they reveal what the model lineup should look like when it arrives Down Under during the first half of 2026. The documents list a choice of single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive variants, and a choice of 62.2kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and 77kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NCM) batteries. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The former is listed as being available only in an entry-level, rear-wheel drive variant, while the larger battery is offered with rear-wheel drive in base and mid-spec trim levels and with all-wheel drive in a flagship trim level. The dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain features a 119kW front motor and 180kW rear motor, for total combined outputs of 266kW. The MGS6 EV has already been spied testing in Australia, while its name was trademarked locally in May, and its design was discovered in a European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) filing made in February. Up front, there are slim headlights and an aggressive lower front bumper, reminiscent of the MG 4 hatch, MGS5 EV small electric SUV and the Cyberster electric sports car. The MGS6 EV's flanks are smooth and largely devoid of creases, while down back there are slim tail-lights contained within a full-width assembly. The new electric SUV appears quite long, and it's unclear if it'll offer a third row of seating. The Marvel R it replaces in markets like Europe, however, has only two rows of seating. It's expected to ride on the same Modular Scalable Platform (MSP) underpinnings of the MG 4 and MGS5 EV, and is understood to have been developed as an MG. That's in contrast with other recent product from the brand like the HS and QS SUVs, which started life as vehicles from fellow SAIC Motor-owned brand Roewe. The MGS6 will give MG a rival to the top-selling Tesla Model Y, as well as a raft of other Chinese-built mid-size electric SUVs such as the BYD Sealion 7, Geely EX5 and Xpeng G6. The new SUV will slot in between the MGS5 EV, which replaced the ZS EV, and the upcoming MG IM6 which is a larger, more premium vehicle borrowed from SAIC Motor's IM Motors brand.

Morocco Ranks 24th Globally in Counterfeit Goods Trade
Rabat — A joint report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) has ranked Morocco as the 24th largest source of fake goods worldwide in 2020. Morocco trails behind major players like China, Hong Kong, Turkiye, and Lebanon in both the number and value of seized counterfeit goods. Despite this ranking among the top 30 economies, Morocco's share remains small, accounting for just 2% of global seizures by both volume and value. The findings of the report reflect a significant gap between Morocco's position in legitimate global trade versus its footprint in the fake goods market. The report identifies Morocco as an 'unconventional destination' for counterfeit cosmetic products from China, ranking 10th globally between 2020-2021 as both a source and destination for these products. Morocco also appears among the top countries exporting counterfeit products into the European Union, ranking 24th out of 25 economies the report listed. China dominates this category in both the number of seizures and their total value. According to the GTRIC-e index, which measures the likelihood of exported goods being counterfeit, Morocco scored between 0.15 and 0.25 in clothing and footwear categories. This places the country in the second global quartile alongside nations like India and Colombia. A score closer to 1 indicates a higher probability of counterfeits in exports. The global trade in counterfeit products reached approximately $467 billion in 2021. Clothing, footwear, and leather products were the most commonly counterfeited items, representing about 62% of all counterfeit products seized worldwide.

Morocco flagged for unusual imports of fake cosmetics from China
Morocco has been listed among the top 30 source economies for trade in counterfeit goods in 2020, according to a recent joint report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The study, titled Mapping Global Trade in Fakes 2025: Global Trends and Enforcement Challenges, ranks Morocco 24th based on the number and value of counterfeit goods seized that year—well behind major hubs like China, Hong Kong, Türkiye, and Lebanon. Morocco's share represents less than 2% of global seizures by volume and value. The report highlights Morocco as an unusual recipient of counterfeit cosmetic products from China, placing the two countries in the top 15 provenance-destination pairs for fake cosmetics between 2020 and 2021. Morocco appears 10th on that list, while China-EU tops the ranking. When it comes to counterfeit goods entering the European Union, Morocco is again listed as one of the top source countries, ranked 24th out of 25 economies. China leads the list in both number of seizures and total value of fake goods. In terms of Morocco's risk profile, the country's GTRIC-e score—a metric that estimates the likelihood of exported goods being counterfeit—is between 0.15 and 0.25 for clothing and footwear. This places Morocco in the second quartile globally, comparable to countries like India and Colombia, and less risky than Lebanon or Bahrain. A score closer to 1 indicates a higher presence of counterfeits in exports. Overall, the report estimates the global trade in counterfeit goods reached USD 467 billion in 2021. Sectors like clothing, footwear, and leather products were the most affected, making up 62% of all counterfeit goods seized worldwide.
