There is no doubt that the Chinese market at this stage has become the world's largest producer of new energy vehicles, but also the world's largest exporter of new energy vehicles. At this time, Lucid Motors, a high-end new energy vehicle brand from the United States, said that it will not introduce its high-end electric vehicles into the Chinese market by 2026 at the latest, and this car is the Lucid Air in the picture. The new model was officially unveiled on December 14, 2016, announced its launch in November 2020, and announced the start of mass production in September 2021.

Because this car is not sold worldwide, this car is still a little unfamiliar to domestic media people! Xiaohua will briefly introduce this car today! Lucid Air has four versions: Pure, Touring, Grand Touring and Sapphire, and the manufacturer's guide price is 69,900-249,000 US dollars, about 430,000 yuan, and this is only the starting price, and the price is indeed enough "high-end", but because there is Tesla as a benchmark before, so according to the convention, Lucid Air is stronger than Tesla in terms of design, power or technological elements, so will this really be the case? Xiaohua has reservations.

But in terms of design, it is actually quite outstanding, and the whole car appears in front of us as a kind of coupe! On the front, the car can be divided into two parts, the upper part of which appears in a semi-elliptical layout of a very easy-going super-large structure, flanked by a single row of LED light sources, the central position is the logo of the car, and the lower part is replaced by a three-dimensional design, in which the ladder-shaped structure on the front envelope echoes the upper part, which is simpler than Tesla in terms of structure and details.

In terms of dimensions, the length of the new car is 4975.3mm, the width is 2195.7mm, and the height is 1408.5mm. The side also continues the design of the front of the car, and the hidden door handles also ensure the integrity of the new car. The whole tail is simpler, a single LED light strip is the light source of the entire tail, and the rear bracket adopts the same design as the front bracket! So in terms of appearance, this car still has a unique recognition, but do you want to say that it will really be stronger than BYD? I don't think so.

Inside, the car will always feel very familiar, matched with a 34-inch 5K curved display, somewhat similar to the new Cadillac, but this car is more novel and stylish! The steering wheel appears as a two-spoke element. The buttons are also focused on the high-definition infotainment screen under the center console, which can be hidden inside the center console when not in use, revealing the huge storage space behind the screen. The interior color is still very traditional. The main functional configuration and technology configuration are yet to be officially announced.

In terms of power, the entry-level Lucid Air Pure uses a single electric motor to drive the rear wheels, making a maximum of 430 hp. The other versions are equipped with twin electric motors, with the Touring version making 620 hp and the Grand Touring version making 1,234 hp and a four-wheel drive system as standard. The dynamics are really impressive. The overseas version is currently priced at $69,900-$249,000. Assuming that this car is really introduced into China in the future, do you think it will have an impact on the new domestic forces? Welcome friends to leave a message in the message area.
