I DRIVE THE LUCID AIR FOR THE FIRST TIME!

EV Channels Review

In this initial drive of the Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance, the reviewer highlights its insane acceleration and impressive driver assistance systems, making it a strong contender for long trips. The low-speed motor calibration is noted as a significant improvement. However, criticisms include noticeable highway noise (NVH) compared to rivals, a steering wheel rim that is perceived as too thick and padded, and a suspension setup that, while comfortable for daily driving and road trips, may lack the ultimate on-limit handling finesse for spirited back-road driving. The reviewer also clarifies that while they previously rode in a Grand Touring model, this is their first time driving the Air, specifically the Dream Edition Performance variant, which offers 471 miles of EPA-rated range.
