The Air may be uncommonly good to drive for something so portly, but that original target of whipping the S-Class into shape ensures the overriding feeling is one of calm. The interior’s big draw for us, though, besides its natty door release triggers and vigorous massage functions, is its sense of quiet. Not animal free, of course, but significantly more renewable and sustainable than a cow hide.

You can have full leather if you want, but Lucid is offering an animal-free alternative called PurLuxe, while you can trim the doors and dash in alpaca wool trim as demonstrated by this Dream Edition R. No try-hard squircles or confusing yokes here. A wheel which is almost entirely circular, it’s worth adding. The instruments are digital but placed right where you expect them – slap bang in the top crescent of the steering wheel. You toggle drive modes through a screen, but the climate control is via buttons. Pricing has not been announced at this time, but expect the Air to be on par with other luxury sedans.Yep, those of us whose lives have straddled the pre- and post-smartphone worlds will delight in how Lucid has melded the two worlds. Last month, Lucid announced it had made a deal with Arizona to build its first manufacturing plant just south of Phoenix. The company has already done engineering on the body for production, and has developed all other aspects of the car, from drivetrain to interior design, in parallel. Lucid emphasizes that the Air is not a concept.

Adding to rear-seat comfort, Lucid will offer optional individual seats inspired by executive jet interiors, with a large degree of recline. As such, there is plenty of legroom for rear passengers. At launch, full self-driving capability will be dependent on the legal landscape, but it might have specific features, such as adaptive cruise control and the ability to change lanes on its own.īecause of the electric drivetrain packaging, Lucid was able to design the car with the exterior size of a typical mid-size sedan, while making the cabin roomy, on the scale of a large sedan.
#Lucid car interior drivers
A dashboard display shows drivers what the car detects, inspiring confidence in its self-driving ability. With motors and battery, Lucid expects the Air to hit 60 mph from a stop in about 2.5 seconds.įor self-driving, the Air includes six radar modules, eight cameras and four LIDAR sensors, all letting it detect obstacles and other traffic. A 100 kilowatt-hour battery pack rests in the floor, offering enough electricity for well over 300 miles of range, according to Lucid.

Electric motors, much smaller than a combustion engine, sit at each axle, making a combined 1,000 horsepower and give the Air all-wheel drive. Lucid takes a fresh-start approach, and has designed the Air to take advantage of the unique packaging of a fully electric drivetrain. Likewise, while digital technology makes its way into dashboard for navigation and communications, it lags behind the devices most people carry in their pockets. As major automakers embrace electrification in their drivetrains, they still have to deal with legacy platforms designed for combustion engines. Lucid is capitalizing on a unique time in the automotive industry, with shifts in technology that have already allowed another electric vehicle start-up to emerge (you might know it, it's called Tesla). The car has been designed with all of these capabilities in mind. Lucid cites four areas of focus with the car: electrification, autonomous driving, connectivity and ride sharing. The company asserts the new car will offer a luxury interior and sport-oriented driving, with production to begin in 2018. California electric car start-up Lucid Motors, which broke out of stealth mode in October, showed off its first production-intent car today, which it calls the Air.
