Energy: PERFORMANCE AND POSSIBILITY
Electrification offers an unparalleled driving experience that is responsive to the needs of the driver, the passengers, and the road. The entire vehicle, including our proprietary powertrain system, has been finessed to deliver world-class performance in acceleration, driving range, and efficiency.
Drivetrain
Taking a unique approach to the drivetrain, the Lucid motor and transmission have been designed as a truly integrated system. Entirely developed in-house, the resulting solution is smaller, more efficient and more power-dense than competitors, while potentially more reliable.
Battery
Nearly ten years of battery pack development have led to best-in-class energy density. Our battery is capable of 1,000 horsepower and enabling up to 400 miles of range. Additionally, a unique battery chemistry provides breakthrough tolerance to repeated fast-charging.
Vision
Improving energy efficiency by up to 50% compared to conventional LED headlights, our ultra-slim lighting system mimics insect eyes by utilizing literally thousands of micro-lenses. The elegant form of the micro-lens arrays belies the complexity of these self-adjusting headlights, which optimally adapt to each driving situation, adding safety.
2019 Lucid Air
Space: SPACIOUS AND SUBLIME
Free from space constraints of a conventional gasoline vehicle, we explored the boundaries of proportion and form. By opening up the cabin, we realized the interior length of a large luxury sedan in a midsize footprint, resulting in agility and comfort, without compromise.
Acoustics
Without the masking sound of a gasoline engine, environmental noise detracts further from your luxury experience. The 29 speaker audio system with active noise cancellation and enhanced cabin isolation creates a uniquely tuned acoustic experience inside your vehicle.
Ride
At Lucid we seek to enhance the interior space with the most comfortable riding experience in the market. We combine air spring with active regenerative valve technology and a low center of gravity to deliver an unprecedented synergy of cosseting ride and precise handling.
Packaging
Our approach towards vehicle packaging is to optimize every last millimeter, freeing up interior volume for maximum comfort. Lucid’s vehicles transcend long established vehicle segment boundaries to accommodate the interior space of a full-size luxury vehicle in a midsize footprint.
Executive Seating
Packaging perfection allows us to introduce unprecedented comfort via rear executive seats with up to 55 degrees of recline. This luxury option offers a first-class aircraft seating experience in the back of your car.
Time: MAXIMUM CAPABILITY, MINIMAL EFFORT
Ensure that time you spend with your car is time well spent. Experience the time-saving convenience of robust fast charging and automated driving systems. Interactions with the vehicle become fluid through elegant visual design, easy to reach screen array and natural voice systems.
Autonomous
Choosing when to drive is a luxury in itself. Autonomous driving and active safety systems both increase convenience and reduce everyday accident risk. Lucid vehicles will be delivered autonomous-ready with a comprehensive sensor suite able to scale to complete autonomy through ongoing software upgrades.
Voice
Sometimes the easiest way to accomplish something is to just ask for it. Beam-forming microphones capture your voice instructions to enable safe, hassle-free interactions with vehicle systems, no matter where you’re seated.
Connected
Your Lucid vehicle is always ready to carry out your request, whether inside the car or across town. With the Lucid mobile app and a seamless integration of your favorite apps we ensure that your luxury mobility experience matches what you expect from modern mobile devices.
Charge
Time is precious, so when charging on the go, you can get back on the road quickly. While many batteries age prematurely if fast-charged regularly, you can fast charge a Lucid battery at will without worries.
