Lucid finally revealed the cabin interface for EV water luxury, and that’s what you expect for a top-class sedan – plus a touch of excessive. It is centered on a 34-inch screen, 5k “glass cockpit” which includes a central instrument cluster, “core” control on the left (think of lights and wipers) and the infotainment hub. The middle column, meanwhile, has a retractable “pilot panel” which usually offers climate control and chairs, but it can also handle the demand for sophisticated music and navigation that you transfer from a smaller cockpit view.
Unlike modern Tesla interiors, though, the Lucid approach does not focus on digital on everything. Dash, doors and wheels including physical control for tasks, car makers will be “best presented” by the real switch and other turns off. This even includes a speaker system – you will get a warning direction and warnings in Dolby Atmos Audio. You may not need full immersion to know your car requires refills, but Lucid clearly doesn’t want to throw away the 21-speaker system.
You will find some De Rigeur software features, including over-the-air updates and support for Apple Carlay and Android Auto.
It will surprise some degrees if Lucid does not produce an interface like this for EV which starts at $ 77,400. Cars like Porsche Taycan and the upcoming Mercedes EQ tend to envelop the drivers on the screen while providing some convincingly familiar physical controls. However, in that sense, Lucid seems to be targeted. This will send air in the second half of this year to know that the interior is at least comparable to the best on the market. This might go down to execution – UI Lucid looks good in the photos of the press, but real world experience is important.
