  • You may not have heard of Lucid Motors but it's already leaps and bounds ahead of established players and setting new benchmarks for the automotive industry in general.
    The 2024 Lucid Air is such a well-executed electric vehicle (EV) that the company has established itself as a potential disruptor to the automotive industry. Simply put, the Air is wildly impressive.
    AutoTrader.ca Editor-in-Chief Jodi Lai gives her first impressions of Lucid's debut vehicle, a luxury mid-size sedan.

      @autotrader_ca yeah but will it have the range? In China 🇨🇳 they have EVs that deliver ranges of over 600 miles that would be at a cost of 55k if they were available in the United States. If they can do it, so can the United States 🇺🇸. But Americans always have to settle for less and for more. You come out with something like this? Now we're talking!!! I would be the first one at the gates to buy one immediately!!! This would give the EV owners a real reason to boast the EV. Till then, I'll keep my Jaguar XJL and leave well enough alone.....

    Air GT Owner. I watch every single review of the LUCID line up, and by far your review of the line up is the best out there. You feature on what is really important to the consumer, which is range, followed by comfort, design and tech and only touch on power/speed. Way to many channels focus on Speed and Power. But every person looking at an EV, always ask what is the range over every other question. Good for you!
    Keep up the good work and good luck.

    I almost bought a Lucid air because, it's the only EV that has a range of 500 miles. But 3 things stopped me. 1, here in Pennsylvania there is only one place in the entire state that works on them 2, it would cost me 100K for that 500 miles of range. 3 I paid 41K for 570 miles of range with my jaguar XJL now paid off. But the Lucid is a very nice car...

    Lucid may be a California based company but a large percentage of their vehicles are NOT built in California. In fact, the vehicles are built proudly in Casa Grande Arizona just south of Phoenix where the largest Intel and TSMC chip plants are being built in the United States.
    Arizona prides these tech companies who call Arizona their home base of renovation compared to the communist state of California.
