LUCID AIR STUDIO LIVESTREAM

EV Channels Review

This livestream offers a comprehensive first look at the Lucid Air, focusing on the Grand Touring and Dream Edition trims. The reviewer highlights the Grand Touring's impressive 517-mile range (achievable with specific wheels) and the striking 'Zenith Red' color. Key design elements praised include the long, wide taillight and innovative front air channels that aid aerodynamics and cool headlights. The Dream Edition, with its 1080 horsepower and $170,000 price tag, boasts the largest frunk in the EV market. The reviewer is particularly impressed by the 900-volt architecture, the 'Wonderbox' for bidirectional charging, and the vehicle's exceptional efficiency (4.5 miles/kWh). Interior impressions note good headroom and legroom in the rear, though the glass roof can feel close for taller passengers. The Alcantara steering wheel is a personal dislike for the reviewer. The video also touches on Lucid's approach to driver assistance, battery technology via Atieva, and charging partnerships with Electrify America, including three years of free unlimited charging. A notable omission is the lack of a hatchback, though an SUV is confirmed. The reviewer expresses excitement for future performance variants, including a tri-motor setup, and anticipates road reviews in the spring.
