There will be three variants of the mid-size platform. At least one will certainly be a CUV. The other two are still a mystery. I am hopeful one will be either a smaller sedan or hot hatchback.
I would love that as well. But usually smaller cars are less luxurious / refined / quiet than bigger cars. See 5 vs 7, E vs S, A6 vs A8 etc.
Correct. I am hoping for a surprise unveil similar to what Rivian did with the R3’s… and a sedan seems very plausible based on what we’ve seen so far. Lucid, please make it well equipped for ~50k!
Also, usually an automaker's smaller cars are de-contented: fewer niceties like 360 cams, etc.
True, I should've clarified and stated that the one coming in 2026 is a CUV
Does that mean there is no chance for a concurrent release?
If Lucid could pull off a concurrent release with their 3rd and 4th model that would be amazing from a company standpoint.
I would love a lightweight, relatively inexpensive Lucid roadster with actually USABLE rear seats (due to the space concept). If Lucid is ever able to make a usable 2+2, it would be a smash hit (relative to the segment).
I believe that a sedan will also launch due to the fact that I can’t see Lucid achieving 6 mi/kwh with a crossover SUV. Obviously, it would be amazing if they did, but it just doesn’t make much sense… although considering what Lucid did with the Air, I shouldn’t jump to conclusions.
I know. I prefer a smaller car also but wanted the performance and luxury. After two years of being on the waiting list for a Pure, the Genesis GV60 Performance popped up in my market (one of the eight original states where it was being sold). It checked as many boxes for me as the Lucid, just different ones. The two biggest failures for me were the handling in the twisties and the range. I don't really care about the range but I do care about the handling. The positives were that it is luxurious (Nappa leather, Ultrasuede headliner, many buttons and switches, etc.), small (length of a subcompact and width of a large compact which means I am very comfortable inside it. In fact, I have a 6'11" golf buddy who couldn't fit inside his wife's Lexus NX (which she loved) but he tried my GV60 and he fitted comfortably within it. For the third component, power, it offers almost 500 HP and more than 500 foot pounds of torque.
Who cares about grandkids? YOLO!
I agree. Something similar to the Taycan, but undercutting the price significantly. Giving up HP for more room (based on design). Hoping the efficiency combined with a great charging curve makes the smaller battery acceptable.
If that is the case, then my next car will not be a Lucid.
BMW used to be my church. Their newest cars - while capable - look like Chinese knockoffs of the 90's Bimmers. Chintzy, glitter, shinny, marbles, disco ball, confetti.
You misread my response. I was talking about the new class of BMW that is supposed to come out in 2026-2027, not their present new cars.
