GENEVA, Feb. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucid Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) is setting new standards for electric
luxury vehicles and looks forward to a promising 2024 with the
European debut of three vehicles. At the Geneva International Motor
Show from February 26 to March 3,
2024, the SUV Gravity1, the Air
Sapphire2 and the Rear-Wheel-Drive version of the Air
Pure3 will be presented to the European market for
the first time. The Californian EV company is also announcing
expanded service offerings and an updated portfolio of its Air
lineup.
What unites all Lucid cars is a proprietary technology that
allows the automotive technology of tomorrow to be experienced
today. It is characterized by short charging times - up to 400
kilometers within 16 minutes - and very long ranges of up to 839
kilometers. Always combined with the elegant design and
high-quality interior for which Lucid is renowned. These attributes
naturally also apply to the three new models that Lucid is
presenting to the European market at this year's Geneva
International Motor Show.
Further expansion in Europe
Lucid is present in four key
European markets: Germany,
Switzerland, Netherlands, and Norway. In these countries, the brand has
established six Lucid retail spaces, so-called Lucid Studios. Based
in prime locations, the studios deliver an immersive and
informative experience around the brand and the flagship model
Lucid Air.
To underline both importance and commitment to its European
operations, Lucid plans to open another four studios in
Germany in 2024: Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Stuttgart. There, even more customers will be
able to book test drives and access the groundbreaking technology,
craftsmanship, and driving experience that define Lucid. In
addition, the brand plans to significantly expand the European
Lucid service network, both with permanent locations and mobile
solutions.
The most efficient electric saloon: Lucid Air Pure
RWD
With an energy consumption of just 13.0 kWh/100 km
according to WLTP makes the new entry-level model the champion when
it comes to efficiency. With a maximum output of up to 442
PS/pk/ch, the RWD can reach 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and has a range
of up to 747 kilometers. The electric motor developed and
manufactured by Lucid and the new, unique battery pack ensure an
intense and long-lasting driving experience. With a base price of
85,000 Euros*, the Air Pure RWD is
the attractive entry-level model from the Californian EV brand.
Electric SUV redefined: Lucid Gravity
The electric
luxury SUV of tomorrow: the Gravity accelerates to 100 km/h in less
than 3.5 seconds, has a predicted WLTP range of over 700 kilometers
and a maximum output of more than 800 hp. This is made possible by
the latest version of Lucid's award-winning dual engine. Based on a
brand-new SUV platform, the Gravity offers enough space for seven
adults including luggage in a luxurious and comfortable interior.
The innovative design provides a delightful and exceptional driving
experience. The floating 34-inch screen with 6K display also contributes to this. Production
of Gravity will begin in late 2024.
Luxury meets high performance: Lucid Air Sapphire
One
of the world's first electric luxury super sports saloons combines
cutting-edge technology, sophisticated design and versatility on
the road. With three motors for optional handling, the Air Sapphire
takes electric performance to the next level. 1,251 hp catapults it
to 100 km/h in around two seconds. At the same time, it reaches a
top speed of 330 km/h. The expected WLTP range is over 700
kilometers. Other features include four driving modes,
carbon-ceramic brakes, a special aerodynamics package and a
racetrack-tuned suspension. The starting price is 250,000 Euros*.
Wallbox and maintenance service included
As a further
highlight, Lucid has updated the Air line-up portfolio this year
and offers new equipment features for an even more luxurious
experience. These include a wider choice of interior and exterior
colors, including the popular Stealth look, which is now available
at a lower price. In addition, the exterior color Fathom Blue is
now also available for Air Touring and Air Grand Touring alongside
the Air Pure model variant.
Lucid has not only expanded the Air lineup itself but will also
be offering customers new services in the future: When purchasing a
Lucid Air, a Wallbox Pulsar Max charging station (22 kW) is
included for convenient charging at home. In addition, a
maintenance service is included for a period of two years (or
40,000 km), which provides additional security and complements
Lucid's comprehensive warranty.
The Air series consists of these four models
Air Pure RWD
- With a range of up to 747 kilometers according to WLTP, a
maximum output of up to 325 kW / 442 hp and a base price of
85,000 Euros, the new Air Pure RWD is
Lucid's epitome of luxury.
- On request, the Air Pure RWD is available with 14 or 20-way
electrically adjustable front seats with ventilation and massage
function as well as extended options for the interior.
Air Touring4
- The Air Touring is the perfect match of range, speed and space
for passengers and cargo. It is Lucid's affordable all-wheel drive
vehicle and has more power and faster acceleration than the Air
Pure RWD. The Air Touring offers a maximum output of up to 462 kW /
628 hp and a range of 725 kilometers. Prices start at 99,000 Euros*.
Air Grand Touring5
- The Air Grand Touring defends its position as the longest-range
luxury vehicle with a range of 839 kilometers, surpassing all
electric cars currently available in Europe. With a base price of 129,000 Euros*, the Air Grand Touring features an
updated powertrain with a maximum output of up to 611 kW / 831 hp,
which improves thermal performance and enables enduringly dynamic
driving.
Air Sapphire
- The Air Sapphire, which will be launched on the German market
in the third quarter of 2024, is one of the world's first electric
super sports sedans and Lucid's top-of-the-range model. Equipped
with a three-motor drivetrain and a total of 1,251 hp, the Sapphire
accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in around two seconds and reaches a
top speed of 330 km/h. The expected WLTP range is over 700
kilometers, subject to the results of European homologation. The
starting price is 250,000
Euros*.
