Overview

Belonging to the luxury midsize sedan segment, the 2024 Lucid Air carries all the qualities of a true electric vehicle. Starting off at an MSRP of $90,000, Lucid offers you 4 trims for the Air. For the price, it competes with the Tesla Model S, the Porsche Taycan, and the Polestar 5. Not all trims are built equal though, as with four powertrain options available, the choice between trims gets a little more exciting. The base trim of the 2024 Lucid Air offers you a single-motor setup. This gives you a power output of 480 horsepower, capable of achieving a 0-60 time of around 4 seconds from a single motor setup. With this, you get a 88 kWH battery rated for 406 miles of range. The second powertrain here is a dual motor setup rated for 620 horsepower. It manages a 0-60 of 3.4 seconds. The battery here is the same 88 kWh battery. The most powerful powertrain, however, is the Grand touring performance trim which uses a highly powerful dual motor setup to churn out over 1,050 horsepower and 516 miles of electric range, thanks to a larger 112 kWh battery pack. If these were not enough choices for you, the 6 equally attractive colors are bound to make your decision a little more confusing.

Buying Advice

For the best value in the lineup, choose the Grand Touring trim. It costs a lot less and provides a better driving range than the more expensive Grand Touring Performance trim. Some key features you get 21-inch wheels, an Upgraded audio system, Two-tone leather upholstery, and a Panoramic glass roof. With plenty of configurations based on performance and tons of creature comforts at your disposal, it is a midsize electric luxury sedan worth checking out despite being a fairly new offering.
