Car Fule

Lucid expands its range in Europe. The American brand announces new versions of its sedan for the Old Continent. German, Dutch, Swiss and Norwegian customers can now order Pure AWD and Touring versions. The first deliveries are expected by the end of the year.

For the moment, France is not concerned, even if there is a common website with Canada where it is possible to order the car… but only in Canada. For the moment, the American firm has not announced an arrival date in France.

Still among the best electric sedans

The two new versions are positioned under the high-end Dream Edition version. The Lucid Air Pure AWD can be ordered in Germany from 109 000 euroswhile the Touring claims 129 000 euros.

The first model develops a power of 480 chwhile the second claims 620 ch. Both are equipped with a 92 kWh battery and the advertised range is 725 km according to the WLTP cycle.

Compared to the Dream Edition and its 113 kWh battery allowing more than 1,000 km on a single charge, these new versions can be recharged up to 250 kW in direct current, instead of 300 kW for the top of the range.

A gradual arrival in Europe

But there are also comfort “benefits” of going with a “cheaper” Lucid Air: the smaller battery allows the Pure AWD and Touring versions to have the rear seats positioned 8cm lower, allowing improve habitability.

The Lucid Air range will expand further in 2024 with the launch of the “base” Pure with a single electric motor placed at the rear axle. For now, however, the American brand has not revealed details on the prices and equipment of these models.
