THE LUCID AIR IS A TESLA-RIVALING LUXURY PERFORMANCE SEDAN

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro reviews the Lucid Air Dream Edition, a luxury electric sedan that rivals Tesla and other high-end EVs. He highlights its impressive performance, with nearly 1000 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of 2.4 seconds, and an exceptional estimated range of over 500 miles, surpassing the Tesla Model S. DeMuro praises the car's luxurious and futuristic interior, particularly the expansive glass windshield, the innovative dual-screen display system, and unique features like the hidden storage compartment and the "bear" Easter eggs. He notes the high-quality materials, though suggests they don't quite reach the pinnacle of German luxury sedans. The rear-seat space is a significant advantage, offering more room than even a Mercedes S-Class. On the exterior, he points out the distinctive design, the massive single-piece taillight, and the functional yet unusual wheel design. While the trunk instead of a hatchback is a trade-off for luxury and rigidity, DeMuro finds the overall package compelling. His main criticisms revolve around the high price point of the Dream Edition, though he acknowledges more affordable versions are coming. Ultimately, he awards the Lucid Air a DougScore of 73/100, tying it with the Tesla Model S Plaid and positioning it as a top-tier luxury EV choice.
