TLDR:
Electrified Luxury: 2023 Lucid Air Grand Touring
"It's extremely rare that a newcomer manages to shake up the status quo in the fashion the Lucid Air has managed to," remarks Roger Biermann. "The Air has become an instant industry benchmark as a technological and performance powerhouse, a true luxury proposition, and an innovator that no legacy automaker has been able to replicate. There are cars that have defined their respective segments for decades, staving off challenges from all sides. Yet, with its very first product, Lucid has dethroned the likes of Mercedes as the pinnacle of luxury, technology, and innovation."
Tesla may have ignited the EV revolution, but we'd argue that Lucid has perfected the EV. The Air isn't just a good first effort; it's instantly the best in its segment, standing up to what any legacy automaker has been able to produce.
"So many electric vehicle skeptics say, 'I won't buy an EV until they can do 500 miles on a charge.' Those people best get out their checkbooks because the Lucid Air delivers that with change to spare," adds Rosenholtz. "The Lucid Air Grand Touring can drive up to 516 miles on a single charge, and even the most affordable model can travel an impressive 410 miles. Not only does it best every other EV in range, but it does so while turning heads with its gorgeous styling and keeping occupants comfortable in its avant-garde interior. The Lucid Air defines what it means to be a luxury EV."
