Lucid is increasingly expanding its presence in Europe. Having opened several car dealerships in Europe, including Germany, Norway, the Netherlands and Switzerland, and even registered just over 150 cars in Europe, the American manufacturer of electric cars will appear for the first time at the European Motor Show in Geneva.

The first European appearance of Lucid Gravity

The Geneva Motor Show will be an opportunity for Lucid to reach a wider audience in Europe. This appearance in Switzerland will also allow the American manufacturer to present its 7-seater electric SUV for the first time. Gravity on the Old Continent. Unveiled with great fanfare at the Los Angeles Auto Show last November, this impressive machine has the right dimensions longer than 5 m. Despite the formalization of the range, Lucid remains vague about its technical description. We just know it its most powerful variant will exceed 800 hp to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds. Again, we don’t yet know exactly the different battery sizes that will be offered, but Lucid has already announced that its most durable version will have more than 700 km of autonomy. Not bad for an SUV that can comfortably accommodate up to 7 adult passengers or store over 3,000 liters of luggage when all its seats are folded down. That’s not all, as this Gravity is also based on the new 900 V platform, which allows it to recover more than 300 km of autonomy in just 15 minutes. Lucid announces starting price around $80,000 in the US, but the price for the European market, where it is also expected to be sold, has not yet been announced. Otherwise, why come to Geneva with three different cars?

The most expensive and most powerful Air

Next to the Gravity SUV, two versions of the Air sedan will also be exhibited at the brand stand. The one that gets all our attention, obviously super powerful Sapphire derivative and its three engines together develop a whopping 1235 hp! This jump in power allows the American sedan to literally shred the exercise from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2 seconds, as well as demonstrate a top speed of 325 km/h! We’ve rarely seen an electric car go so fast. But this is the icing on the cakeas a bonus, these actions are equivalent or even superior to the characteristics of a hypercar Clear The maximum range of the Air Sapphire is almost 700 km. Priced from $250,000 in the United States, unfortunately we don’t know its European price yet. For information, this amount corresponds to a little more than 230,000 euros at the current exchange rate. In Geneva, Lucid will also present its most affordable model: the Clean Air. With a power of 430 hp. this rear-wheel-drive version of the electric sedan is still capable of sprinting to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, but above all, it boasts a maximum WLTP range of 747 km! This version is already available in some European countries and costs from 109,000 euros on the Old Continent.

One thing can be said for sure the Swiss meeting promises to be rich in novelties. In addition to the Gravity’s first appearance in Europe, Renault will also take advantage of the Swiss meeting to officially unveil its 5 E-Tech, while MG will unveil its little 3 there. Suffice it to say, there will be plenty to see in Geneva from Monday February 26 to Sunday , March 3, 2024.
