A wide, digital display stretches out in front of the driver, while a dual-screen setup in the central stack includes a smaller screen above and a larger tablet set down near the center console.

The interior materials are beautiful and elegant, with a focus on natural fibers and woods in palettes that reflect various locales in California. We’d like to see Lucid add a third level of regen and the ability to switch quickly between them via paddle shifters, which Mercedes-Benz presents on its EQS and EQE models.įor the most part, the Air GTP shares the same design cues as other Air variants, save for the bigger wheels with a unique, chunky five-spoke design. Each mode also offers two levels of regenerative braking, although “high” is not as aggressive as some other models from competitors, such as the Polestar 2. As with all Lucid Air model versions, the GTP has three drive modes, which adjust steering, braking and suspension response. The car is exceptionally quiet, and even with its 21-inch wheels, there is very little noise from either the road or tires. We keep a fast pace around the serpentine stretches, with the Air’s adaptive suspension handling the shifting loads with grace. On the road drive that follows, we experience some of the Bay Area’s iconic arteries to the coast.
