Lucid announced the news on Twitter today with a short teaser video and also updated its website noting that the CarPlay integration is wireless and “comes standard.”
It’s difficult to tell exactly what size the CarPlay portion of the screen comes in at. Here’s how Lucid describes the whole screen which spans from the driver’s side instrument cluster to the middle of the dash: “The Glass Cockpit display is a 34-inch, 5K floating screen that sweeps around the driver, curving like the cockpit of a jet.”
But with the way the display tapers, it seems like the CarPlay portion is relatively small. Nonetheless, it’s nice to see Lucid add the support as Tesla is a notable holdout (Rivian too) on the popular in-car experience.
Lucid put most of the focus on launching wireless Apple CarPlay with the tweet above and the section covering Lucid Air’s connectivity on its website. However, Android Auto as previously seen in testing is available now too.
A bit below the image shown below, the company says “Air is even compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and countless other apps.”
