TranscriptBEN HSU: This has Ben Hsu with Autoblog. We're here at the Lucid studio in Beverly Hills, California taking a look at the Lucid Air Touring. Now, the Touring is one level up from the base Pure. The starting price is $107,400, not including destination.
This car is painted in what they call Cosmos Silver. It has the contrast roof with a big panoramic roof. And that panoramic roof is an option on the Touring. They say it costs $4,500.
Now, this is a dual motor, all wheel drive. That's the standard lay out. It has 620 horsepower. It goes from 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds and has a 425-mile range.
20-inch tires-- wheels and tires are standard. 19 is optional. This car has what I think is a gorgeous interior called Santa Cruz. All their interiors are named after locations in California.
So it has some sustainable wood, Napa leather. It has an alpaca kind of fabric-- I don't even know how to describe it-- on the door panels. And you can see there's a contrast between the front and rear seats. Rear bench is, like, I guess an ivory and the front seats are black. And that's, you know, a pretty cool distinguishing characteristic on this car and some of the other high end luxury cars.
Now, this car is going-- or I guess it's in production right now and should be delivered tomorrow for the first few customers.
