In both the frontal offset test and the side barrier impact, protection of all critical body regions was good for both child dummies, and the Air scored maximum points in this part of the assessment. The Air has a system which automatically disables the front passenger airbag to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. The system worked robustly and was rewarded. All of the child restraint types for which the Air is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

The Lucid Air has an ‘active’ bonnet. Sensors in the bumper detect when a pedestrian has been struck and actuators lift the bonnet to provide greater clearance to hard structures underneath. Lucid demonstrated that the system worked robustly for different pedestrian statures and across a range of speeds. Accordingly, the car was tested with the bonnet in the raised, ‘deployed’ position. Protection of the head of a struck pedestrian was almost entirely good or adequate over the bonnet surface but poor results were recorded at the base of the windscreen and on the stiff windscreen pillars. The bumper offered good or adequate protection to pedestrians’ legs and protection of the pelvis was good at all test locations. The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system of the Lucid can respond to vulnerable road users as well as to other vehicles. The system performed well in tests of its response to pedestrians and adequately in tests of its response to cyclists.

The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system of the Air performed well in tests of its reaction to other vehicles. A seatbelt reminder system is fitted as standard to the front and rear seats and the car is equipped with a system to detect driver fatigue. The lane support system gently corrects the vehicle’s path if it is drifting out of lane, and also intervenes in some more critical situations. The speed assistance system identifies the local speed limit, and the driver can choose to let the car adjust the speed limiter accordingly.

The passenger compartment of the Lucid Air remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. However, Lucid did not provide evidence to demonstrate that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions, and the score for this body region was penalized. Analysis of the deceleration of the impact trolley during the test, and analysis of the deformable barrier after the test, revealed that the car would be an aggressive impact partner in a frontal collision, and the score was penalised accordingly. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of all critical body regions was good or adequate for both the driver and rear passenger. In both the side barrier impact and the more severe side pole test, protection of all critical body areas was good and the Air scored maximum points in this part of the assessment. Control of excursion (the extent to which a body is thrown to the other side of the vehicle when it is hit from the far side) was found to be adequate. The Air has a counter-measure to mitigate against occupant to occupant injuries in such impacts. The system performed well in Euro NCAP’s tests, with good protection of the occupants’ heads. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric analysis of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. The Air has an advanced eCall system which alerts the emergency services in the event of a crash and a ‘Secondary Collision Mitigation System’ which automatically applies the brakes to prevent secondary collisions.
