One of the most cutting-edge electric vehicles ever made, the Lucid Air, has hit the market. For US clients who don’t want to place a custom order and then wait weeks or months for their Air luxury EV to be delivered, Lucid Group has launched a section on its website, specifically for pre-configured cars that can be delivered in a matter of days. The company also notes that the vehicles in inventory are configured with Lucid customers’ favorite options.
The battery size on the Grand Touring model is approximately 112 kWh. The vehicles come in a variety of colors, with a selection of wheels, sizes, and of course interior themes. In spite of this, each car is listed at the same cost of $154,000. The dual-motor AWD powertrain of the Lucid Air Grand Touring produces 819 horsepower and enables a 60 mph sprint in 3 seconds. With the 21-inch Aero Blade wheels or the 19-inch Aero Range wheels, the battery pack’s range is assessed by the EPA to above 469 miles.
New motor
The new top dog is the three-electric motor, 1,200+ horsepower Lucid Air Sapphire. In order to compete with the Tesla Model S Plaid, the second motor is positioned at the back and promises to give incredible acceleration capabilities. The entry-level Lucid Air Pure model has a single-motor RWD configuration. Another option is the $92,900 480-horsepower dual-motor AWD Lucid Air Pure. For those who wish to purchase a Lucid Air immediately, a simple financing option is available; 15% down and $1,999 per month for six years will secure you an EV. A two-year, unlimited charging plan is included with every Lucid Air Grand Tour vehicle.
Although the Lucid Air is a significantly smaller car than the Mercedes EQS. A complete glass roof, heated and cooled front seats and a massage function are all included. A smart retractable center screen houses the infotainment system, and the driver gets access to a 34-inch wide display that extends over the dashboard. The Lucid Air is equipped with an advanced entertainment system that features a huge top touchscreen that extends from the fully digital gauge cluster and a lower touchscreen that resembles a tablet and handles extra functions and can be folded back into the dashboard.
Voice recognition
The system’s voice-recognition algorithms will react to normal speech patterns, according to Lucid. Additionally, the UI contains a helper that remembers the user’s chosen music and climate settings. Along with a few tactile buttons, the steering wheel also has a pair of toggles for the temperature and fan speed, as well as a roller for the audio system’s level. Lucid is developing Level 3 self-driving capabilities for The Air, which is available with a variety of driver-aid technologies. Also despite being a new automaker with no past models, Lucid’s warranty policy is fairly comparable to Tesla’s.
