A base Touring model is planned with a starting price of just under $80,000, though it isn't due until 2022. A Grand Touring model will follow in the summer priced from $139,000. The Air launches in range-topping Dream Edition guise which is priced from $169,000. It's too early to talk pricing but Lucid has hinted that as it launches more models and builds economies of scale, it will be able to lower its prices. While the SUV's numbers will likely be less impressive due to the lower efficiency of an SUV body style, they're still likely to be at the top end of what an EV can currently deliver. Recall, the top version of the Air, the Dream Edition, will cover 517 miles on a charge, recover up to 300 miles with just a 20-minute fast charge, and run the quarter-mile in a time of 9.9 seconds. The closeness of the two designs shouldn't come as a surprise as the production Air ended up almost identical to its own concept version shown in 2017.Īnd we can expect some wild numbers for the Gravity.

The design in the patent drawings is almost identical, though the front overhang looks to be longer. Lucid has already teased the design of the Gravity with its Project Gravity concept shown last year in a video. Considering all he says about this EV, he has every right to be.Lucid Project Gravity - from video clip during Air debut Don’t be fooled by the super production: it is not an advertisement, even if Cammisa is genuinely impressed by the electric sedan. Those interested in Lucid Air can’t miss this review. He drove it hard in a race track and praised its balance, grip, and handling, comparing it to that of the Porsche Taycan – even though the Lucid Air is a luxury vehicle. Cammisa states that the Model S felt like “the future as defined by some kid writing a video game.” The Lucid Air feels like the future “as defined by someone that understands the sports sedan.” The electric sedan's benchmark was the BMW E39 M5, another car that Hagerty put on the video. That’s quite a compliment to Peter Rawlinson and his team.Ĭammisa came to that conclusion after putting the Lucid Air sideways until pieces of the rear tires started flying around. It builds from where Tesla came to this point and exceeds that in all regards. In his opinion, it is Lucid that is Tesla 2.0. In the presenter’s words, a Model S 2.0, but Cammisa soon corrects himself. Its design is elegant, imposing, and enough to present it as a vehicle of the future. It is incredibly silent, and you never hear a bump even on the worst roads.

The Hagerty presenter associates the very meaning of the word luxury to that and argues how the Lucid Air got there thanks to several of its characteristics.Īccording to Cammisa, the EV has a refined and roomy interior. All it has to do is sell in higher numbers than the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.Īs Cammisa states in his video, the objective is to show how much better a luxury car can be. It is indeed right the opposite: being too popular would make it feel less exclusive. The Lucid Air does not have high-volume sales ambitions. Rivian’s electric pickup truck appears as an example of another EV that intends to set new standards for capability and efficiency in America’s best-selling market segment. The Ait is quicker, even if it is not faster: top speed is not a goal for most electric cars. In Lambo’s case, it shows up to be humiliated by a 5,236-pound (2,375-kilogram) luxury sedan carrying two adult passengers and an electric drive unit – apart from Cammisa in the driver’s seat.

However, they are not directly compared to the Lucid Air. We also see the Rivian R1T and a Lamborghini Huracan Turbo there. Apart from the beautiful shooting, Jason Cammisa managed to put amazing cars together to compare all of them to Lucid Air: the Mercedes-Benz S 580 (W223) and the Tesla Model S Plaid.
