Like any modern automaker, Lucid ofers drivers
the choice of a bunch of exciting and innovative
features. Despite the Air’s mid-size interior,
it’s spacious and ofers proportions akin to a
full-size sedan, and comes with “ultra-luxe
features” for the modern user including
massaging seats. Yep, you read that right! The
vehicle ingeniously maximizes storage in what it
says ofers “SUV-levels” of space. The clamshell-
style decklid opens to reveal a large bi-level
trunk, while beneath the hood you’ll ind an
enormous frunk - around four times larger than
other electric cars. There a number of other
storage spots inside the cabin, like generous
door pockets, and a bonus compartment behind
the retractable Pilot Panel.
It’s interesting to note that not all of the controls
on the Air are digital - which makes a nice
change and sets a new precedent. Indeed, there
are precision-milled physical buttons that are
used for the ribbed steering wheel functions and
climate control, and a partnership with Amazon
means that Alexa voice-recognition software
comes as standard, useful for phone calls, music
streaming, smart home control, and navigation;
convenient and easy to use.
