It may weigh more than 5,200 lb, but the Lucid Air Grand Touring's well-tuned double wishbone suspension gives it slick moves. Review --
With 1,050 hp at my disposal, the only sounds I hear are the whirr of electric motors, the occasional thrum of tires over rough pavement, and the drumbeat of my racing heart as I try to keep pace with the Stig on the twisty Skyline Drive in the San Francisco hills. Yeah, that Stig, racer and former “Top Gear” hotshoe Ben Collins.
The 2022 Lucid Air rides an aluminum skateboard platform and uses a pair of electric motors that can make up to 670 hp. The battery also contributes significantly to the car’s 5,236-lb curb weight. While that’s heavy for a sedan, it’s fairly light for an EV. The comparably sized Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 weighs almost 5,900 lb with about half the power. To achieve some of these weight savings, Lucid makes the body from aluminum and uses trick engineering to create smaller, lighter powertrain components.
Full horsepower is only available in the top Sprint mode, while Smooth and Swift modes are limited to a measly 784 hp. I’m chasing the Stig in Sprint mode with the brake regeneration set to High rather than standard. The combination allows for mostly one-pedal driving that adds an element of finesse to the experience. The crazy power available at anything near full throttle means I can go as fast as I dare from corner to corner. The High regen applies 0.
The Air is a leader when it’s time to replenish those electrons, too. It uses a 900-plus-volt electrical architecture that allows it to recover 300 miles in 21 minutes on a 350-kw DC fast charger at a The Lucid Air offers four California-themed interior designs, and high-end versions have a glass canopy roof
