Company Announcements

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.
