Lucid Air claims to be the world’s most powerful & efficient luxury electric sedan starting below $80,000. How does it stack up against Tesla? Let's find out: https://lucidmotors.com

Lucid Motors seeks to set new standards for sustainable transportation with its anticipated Lucid Air. Having already set new industry benchmarks in the EV and luxury segments related to performance, efficiency and design, deliveries of this all-electric luxury sedan will start in spring of 2021.

Lucid Air is the result of the Lucid Space Concept, an automotive packaging concept which capitalizes upon the miniaturization of Lucid’s in-house developed EV drivetrain to optimize interior cabin space. The Lucid Electric Advanced Platform (LEAP) enhances Lucid Air, and forthcoming Lucid vehicles. It’s a holistic, clean-sheet approach to advanced EV construction, without using existing “off the shelf” solutions so often seen in EVs from legacy automakers.

By making smaller more powerful electric motors and dramatically improving the packaging of the entire electric powertrain, Lucid is able to reclaim that space for passengers and their comfort. This extends the philosophy of hyper-efficiency embedded in every facet of Lucid Air, from energy to spatial efficiency, delivering an unprecedented combination of range, practicality, performance, and luxury.

With up to 1,080 horsepower available in a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive architecture, the Lucid Air is able to achieve quarter-mile times as quick as 9.9 seconds on a consistent, repeatable basis. To date, it is the only electric sedan able to achieve a quarter-mile time under 10 seconds. The power of the Lucid Air is complemented by an available extended-range capability that achieves an estimated EPA range of up to 517 miles on a single charge.

When it arrives to market, the Lucid Air will also be the world's fastest charging electric vehicle, with the capability to charge at rates of up to 20 miles per minute when connected to a DC Fast Charging network. For owners charging their Lucid Air in real-world conditions on the road, that can translate into 300 miles of range in just 20 minutes of charging.

Lucid Air has an in-house developed, compact 113kWh battery pack. Lucid’s battery technology excels with custom Battery Management System (BMS), clever cell packaging, and world-class energy density.

With Lucid's Space Concept, the Air offers a full-size luxury-class interior while maintaining an agile, sport sedan footprint. This approach also results in the largest frunk of any electric car to date and incredible bi-level storage capabilities in both front and rear compartments. The Lucid Air is the world’s most aero-efficient luxury car, with a coefficient of drag of 0.21.

The interior of the Lucid Air reflects elegance by integrating into the design architecture of the cabin, a beautiful seamless way of interacting with the vehicle software. In front of the driver is a 34" curved Glass Cockpit 5K display that “floats” above the dashboard, contributing to the light and airy feel of the interior. In addition, a retractable central Pilot Panel sits in finger-tip reach of the driver and passenger for deeper control of the vehicle’s systems and functions.

The Lucid Air’s advanced driver-assistance system, Lucid DreamDrive, is the most comprehensive sensor suite on the market with a Driver Monitoring System, all standard on the Lucid Air Dream Edition. It offers 32 sensors, covering vision, radar and ultrasonics, plus the world’s first standard high-resolution LIDAR in an EV, all working alongside the standard DMS and geo-fenced HD mapping to provide the safest possible approach to Level 2 and Level 3 driver assistance technologies.

Lucid has collaborated with Amazon to bring an advanced Alexa Built-In implementation directly into Lucid Air. Over time, the available feature set will continue to grow via Lucid’s built-in Over-the-Air (OTA) updates.

The Lucid Air will be available in four models:
* The base model Air (2022) from below $80,000
* The well-equipped Air Touring model (late 2021) from $95,000
* The fully equipped Air Grand Touring (mid 2021) from $139,000
* The all-inclusive, limited-volume Air Dream Edition (spring 2021) at $169,000
