Saks Announces First-Ever Electric Vehicle Partnership with Lucid
NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Saks, the premier luxury ecommerce platform, and Lucid, the luxury electric vehicle company, have launched a multifaceted partnership across the Saks Fifth Avenue ecosystem. Through this unprecedented partnership, which marks Saks' first-ever collaboration with an electric vehicle company, Saks will offer exclusive demo drive experiences of Lucid's award-winning car, the Lucid Air, at select Saks Fifth Avenue store locations. Additional elements include a dedicated Lucid landing page on Saks.com, content on Saks-owned digital channels and an event in the new Saks Fifth Avenue West Coast flagship in Beverly Hills.
"We're committed to utilizing the entirety of the Saks Fifth Avenue ecosystem to introduce our customers to the best in luxury," said Marc Metrick, CEO of Saks. "As an iconic luxury brand and an authority in the luxury space, Saks has been able to partner with companies that we know are of interest to our customers and complement the luxury lifestyle. With Lucid, we're providing our customers with new, unique offerings outside of our traditional assortment, and we're excited for them to experience this innovative offering online and in our stores for the first time."

"The collaboration brings the Lucid brand directly to Saks clientele searching for fine craftsmanship and innovation that seamlessly blend into their lifestyle, such as can be found with the Lucid Air."
