NEWARK,
Calif., Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucid
Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), pioneering a new era of luxury electric
experience with the Lucid Air, today revealed that after a rigorous
evaluation process Car and Driver has selected the Lucid Air
Pure to join its esteemed 10Best List for 2024, which recognizes
vehicles that have impressed editors with their respective
combinations of value, performance, innovation, and overall driving
experience.
The Lucid Air Pure was named to the 10Best List in its very
first year of eligibility. To compete for the list, vehicles must
be on sale in the month of January
2024 and have a starting price under $110,000. After two weeks of driving more than 80
new cars, trucks, and SUVs that meet those criteria, Car and
Driver editors evaluate each 10Best contender versus its peers
on a 100-point scale. To make the list, a vehicle must not only
outperform its competition in fulfilling its intended purpose but
also provide exceptional value and an enjoyable driving
experience.
"It is incredibly rewarding to see the Lucid Air Pure honored on
the Car and Driver 10Best List," said Andrea Soriani, Vice
President of Marketing at Lucid. "As our most accessible Air model,
this win underscores Lucid's commitment to designing and
engineering cars that provide unparalleled driving pleasure."
The Lucid Air Pure RWD recently completed the Air model lineup,
offering exceptional driving range of up to an EPA-estimated 419
miles**, elegant design, and outstanding driver engagement, all at
a starting price of $77,400*. Lucid's
game-changing proprietary EV technology means the Air Pure comes
with the freedom to drive longer distances with confidence, and to
spend less time charging, adding up to 150 miles in less than 12
minutes with DC fast charging***.
"The closer you look, the more you realize that every square
millimeter of this car has been considered and optimized. The
density of thought is off the charts" said Tony Quiroga, Editor-in-Chief of Car and
Driver.
Lucid's focus on innovation has improved nearly every aspect of
the vehicle for drivers and passengers. A groundbreaking electric
motor, engineered and manufactured in-house by Lucid, delivers
silent, driver-oriented performance. With a new battery pack unique
to the Air Pure RWD – Lucid's most compact battery pack to date –
rear-seat occupants can stretch their legs and enjoy limo-like
space, while the Air Pure RWD's cavernous trunk and frunk can
swallow all the luggage and gear for a road-tripping family of
four.
Starting at $77,400*, the Air Pure
offers extensive features, complemented by newly available options.
Standard features include wireless Apple CarPlay®, a 34-inch curved
Glass Cockpit display, and heated front seats and steering wheel.
Additionally, the vehicle boasts brilliant night-time illumination
through Lucid's patented Micro Lens Array LED headlights, the
DreamDrive constellation of advanced driver assistance systems, and
the evolving Lucid UX digital environment, continuously enhanced
through over-the-air software updates.
"The Lucid Air Pure is a base model whose driving range,
performance, space, and price put it in a sweet spot, one that
makes you feel like you're holding a golden ticket instead of a
coupon," said Austin Irwin,
Technical Editor of Car and Driver.
The Lucid Air Pure RWD is available now from the Lucid Motors
website and the Design Yours configurator, or from Lucid's growing
network of North American sales studios.
