Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Wallan Trading Company, the official dealer for LOTUS cars in Saudi Arabia, is poised to unveil the Kingdom’s inaugural showroom exclusively showcasing LOTUS’ diverse lineup of luxury electric vehicles (EVs). Set to open in Riyadh in the fourth quarter of 2024, this state-of-the-art facility will cater to both current and prospective LOTUS customers from across the Kingdom and beyond.
This elegantly designed, high-tech showroom will serve the needs of the Kingdom’s sophisticated auto enthusiasts, reflecting Wallan Trading Company’s commitment to enhancing consumer access to world-class luxury EVs. The showroom launch follows Wallan Trading Company’s strategic partnership announcement with LOTUS in March 2024, solidifying its role as the authorized distributor of LOTUS in Saudi Arabia.
Fahd Al-Wallan, Chairman of Wallan Holding Company, expressed his enthusiasm about the new showroom: “We are excited to build on our partnership with LOTUS and offer consumers and car lovers across the Kingdom even greater access to a stellar collection of leading-edge electric vehicles. The launch of our modern, fully-equipped showroom underlines our commitment to doing just that and extends our efforts to meet the demands of a discerning customer base with a passion for functional luxury — sophisticated customers that lead aspirational lifestyles and value unique, exclusive driving and ownership experiences.
Crucially, our LOTUS showroom will hold up a mirror to everything the LOTUS brand stands for, reflecting the elegance and commitment to innovation that the brand is synonymous with. We look forward to serving more people across the Kingdom in the coming months, with several more dedicated LOTUS showrooms set to be launched in key locations around the country.”
