THIS IS A GREAT CAR... EXCEPT FOR ONE THING. 2023 LUCID AIR TOURING FIRST DRIVE AND REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Lucid Air Touring is presented as a luxurious and spacious electric sedan, offering impressive EPA-estimated range of 425 miles with the 19-inch wheels. Reviewers praised the exceptionally spacious interior, generous cargo capacity in both the trunk and frunk, and the premium feel of the materials, particularly highlighting the unique two-tone interior design. The driving experience is noted for its strong power delivery and comfortable ride, with a smooth suspension and good one-pedal driving tuning. However, the review heavily criticizes the absence of standard lane-centering functionality, a feature found in much less expensive vehicles, which is locked behind the expensive Dream Drive Pro package. Other minor gripes include noticeable motor noise even at cruising speeds and a less-than-ideal Apple CarPlay implementation on the smaller upper screen. Despite its luxurious appointments and strong performance, the lack of expected advanced driver-assistance features as standard is a significant drawback for this price point.
