Lucid is an electric-only automaker that, so far, sells only one product. Nevertheless it’s a outstanding one.
The Lucid Air is a luxurious sedan with the longest EPA-certified vary of any EV at the moment on the market – as much as 520 miles between fees. Its high-performance Air Sapphire is without doubt one of the quickest 4-door vehicles ever constructed, with a 0-60 mph time underneath 2 seconds.
The Air’s refinement and efficiency impress our editors. Taller drivers, although, can discover its odd windshield proportions an issue.
An SUV With Artistic Use of Area
Lucid will comply with it up with the Gravity, a midsize SUV with as a lot inside house as a full-size SUV.
Lucid tasks a driving vary of 440 miles between fees, although the EPA has but to substantiate that.
The corporate guarantees “a assured and agile driving expertise” however hasn’t revealed efficiency specs or let anybody within the press drive the automotive but. Kelley Blue E-book’s Lyn Woodward has frolicked with the Gravity parked.
She was impressed with its usable driver interface, together with a flat-topped steering wheel and high-mounted display screen so the steering wheel by no means blocks the motive force’s view of display screen data. Large doorways and spacious rear seats made for an expensive expertise for second-row passengers (although the third row won’t work for adults).

That possible places the ultimate sale value of the bottom mannequin at $81,400, with the extra luxurious model beginning at $96,400.
We are saying “possible” as a result of Lucid hasn’t disclosed how a lot it would cost to ship the Gravity. Automakers cut up a automotive’s value into two numbers: the producer’s advised retail value (MSRP) and the supply charge. The supply charge shouldn’t be negotiable, so we embrace it in our pricing.
Lucid fees $1,500 to ship its Air sedan. We’ve used that determine for the Gravity. We’ve additionally reached out to Lucid to ask whether or not it would cost the identical supply charge or, as automakers usually do, enhance it barely for a heavier SUV. They inform us they haven’t disclosed the supply charge but, however remaining particulars might be out there Nov. 7.
