Lucid Motors is the most anticipated name in the EV industry as of now. The Tesla rival is set to come out with its luxury electric sedan - Lucid Air soon and even before that, an electric SUV from the EV maker has been spotted making runs on the US roads.
In what seems like a video shoot for a commercial, a prototype of Lucid MotorsĄŻ electric SUV was spotted alongside Lucid Air in California. The SUV is expected to be the next launch by the company after the famed Air electric sedan.
Pictures of the encounter were posted by an account named Ą°HawkĄ± on the Lucid Motors forum recently. "Driving through Pescadero someone came across a Lucid shoot and took these pics," Hawk wrote. From what can be deduced of the images, Lucid Motors might be ready to unveil the electric SUV during the launch event of the Air sedan on September 9.
Lucid Motors has been on the front foot with its EV production lately, after having gone through years of turmoil and financial setbacks. The new funds from Saudi investors has enabled the company to ramp up production in its newly opened facility in Arizona.
Thanks to the funds, Lucid was able to continue its operations in the Arizona factory even during the lockdown across the US due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
That is what now ensures that the timeline of the Air will be met, as the electric sedan is destined to go on sale early next year.
Once the sale begins, Lucid Motors is not expected to take long to roll out its next vehicle to the US market. With the SUV, the company will mark its entry into another segment of electric vehicles, once again competing with the leading EV maker Tesla in its home market.
To date, the company has impressed the observers with its claimed features for the Air sedan. If the SUV from the house of Lucid Motors follows suit, we can potentially see a very capable EV that might again break records in its own segment.
As for the looks, you can see them and judge for yourself right here.
