Lucid Motors just dropped a big update for the 2025 Air, and it’s not just a patch. With Android Auto finally here, performance tuned up and range slightly increased, the Lucid Air feels more refined, more intuitive and more ready than ever.
Details
Lucid is now pushing out its 2.7.0 software update across all Air models. All trims now have Android Auto, including wireless for Android 11 and above. It’s a small but important feature many Lucid owners had been asking for.
Who’s It For
This one’s for the detailers. Those who want sharp styling, quiet performance and a connected ride without sacrificing the comforts they’re used to. Android users in particular get their place behind the Lucid wheel.
Impact on the Market
In a market where Tesla and Rivian still don’t have Android Auto, Lucid just jumped ahead. Adding it makes the Air one of the few premium EVs with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. That’s a win for usability and a big middle finger to the competition.
Performance
Beyond smartphone features, the update also smooths out the ride. Steering assist, damping and cruise control feel more confident. Noise isolation is tighter thanks to new motor mounts. These aren’t sexy changes but they’re the kind you feel instantly.
Price
The best part? It’s free. Via over-the-air updates, the new features cost nothing to existing owners. No workshops. No appointments. No hidden fees. This is how software defined cars should evolve.
Driving Experience
The Air was already comfortable and responsive. With this update it’s even smoother. Regenerative braking feels more natural. Lane centering is more accurate. Now, Android users can access their go-to apps navigation, tunes, calls directly from the car’s built-in display with smooth, real-time integration.
Production and Future Plans
Lucid is going big. With plans to double production to 20,000 vehicles this year, the brand is also taking the same tech to their upcoming Gravity SUV. Future plans include a new midsize lineup aimed at the $50,000 mark, expanding their reach even further.
