This luxurious EV sedan is quite advanced in terms of range and charging speed.
Our tested AWD Touring model, with a prodigious 620 hp, is super-quick, with a seemingly never-ending flow of power that's delivered in a smooth and measured way.
The Lucid's 92-kilowatt-hour battery gave it an impressive 344 miles in our 70-mph highway-range test, though it fell short of its EPA-estimated 384-mile rating.
Its maximum acceptance rate at a public DC fast charger is 250 kW.
Handling is nimble, and the ride is luxuriously composed except for some low-speed stiffness.
The Lucid's interior is noisy, with too much electric motor whine and wind noise on the highway.
Many controls are buried in a low touchscreen, which can cause driver distraction.
On the plus side, rear-seat room is generous, and the cabin is decked in leather, suede, and wool.
The luxurious Air electric sedan is the first model to be offered by Silicon Valley-based Lucid Motors.
The rollout starts with a pricey, fully loaded Dream Edition.
The dual-motor versions have 1,111 and 800 horsepower.
The future single-motor version will have about 620 horsepower.
The EPA range for the version with the maximum range is 520 miles.
A base Air is available with 480-horsepower and a 406-mile range.
The 900-volt electric system enables rapid charging capable of taking on 300 miles of range in just 20 minutes.
The cabin is distinguished by a massive, curved 34-inch floating display ahead of the driver and a center console screen that can retract.
The suite of advanced safety features is augmented by LIDAR, an advanced laser-based radar system. 2024 saw the introduction of the Sapphire trim, focused on performance with over 1,000 horsepower. A surround-view camera is standard for 2025.
