Lucid Air – Review, Specs, Pricing, Features, Videos and More

Electric vehicles have transformed the idea of a startup automotive company.

Hyundai took decades to get where it is. Tesla helped Toyota build an electric RAV4 and crammed batteries in a rebodied Lotus before it truly changed the industry with the Model S.

Then there’s Lucid which, along with the similarly fresh-faced Rivian, have almost immediately set the bar in the segments in which they’ve launched products. A futuristic mega-sedan with big range and a deep roster of talent behind it, the Lucid Air is a luxury car like no other. It’s not quite perfect—but boy does it come close.

Lucid’s first effort at car building just embarrassed a lot of legacy automakers’ attempts at the same thing.

“Don’t eat that before dinner, it’ll spoil your appetite,” a familiar refrain of mothers worldwide. Mom knows best, the second a kid has scarfed down those sweets, they won’t want to eat anything else. In a way, the Lucid Air is kind of like that — it is so darn good that it’ll spoil the automotive enthusiast’s metaphorical appetite.

The Lucid Air Grand Touring (and Grand Touring Performance), is a large, fully-electric luxury sedan. It’s in the same vein and directly competes with the Tesla Model S, and Mercedes-Benz EQS. True, the Lucid Air has already been on sale for a short while, nabbing Motor Trend’s “Car of the Year” for 2022, but most Lucid Air on sale have been of the “Dream Edition”. The Dream Edition is a limited-run, limited-production only sold to early adopters and initial reservation holders. These Grand Touring and Grand Touring Performance trims are the top-of-the-line trim available to all customers. The two trims are mostly the same, save for the Grand Touring Performance special 21″ Aero wheels, and its goliath-sized 1,050 horsepower and $179,999 US ($242,000 CAD) base price. By contrast, the Grand Touring only has 819 horsepower and a trimmer $154,000 US price. But, when equipped with the 19″ wheels, the Grand Touring is rated for a range of 516 miles, compared to 446 for the Grand Touring Performance.
