BEST $70K DRIVER’S EV | PORSCHE TAYCAN 4S VS LUCID AIR PURE RWD

EV Channels Review

This comparison pits the 2022 Porsche Taycan 4S against the 2025 Lucid Air Pure RWD, both positioned as premium EV daily drivers around the $70,000 market value. The reviewer highlights the Lucid Air's exceptional packaging, spacious interior, impressive range (420 miles), and comfortable ride, attributing these to its EV-native design. Its driving dynamics are praised for good body control and a natural feel, though the steering is noted as somewhat numb. The Porsche Taycan 4S, despite its older model year and significant depreciation, is lauded for its superior driving dynamics, sharper handling, more precise steering with better feedback, and a sportier driving position. However, it compromises on interior space and practicality compared to the Lucid, and its ride is firmer, even in its comfort setting. The Taycan offers a more engaging, sports-car-like experience, while the Lucid excels in comfort, range, and everyday usability. The choice hinges on prioritizing driving engagement (Porsche) versus range, comfort, and packaging (Lucid).
