As electric vehicles have gained ground in the automobile market nowadays, the Lucid Air emerged as a true game changer that offers a combination of style, power, and technology. The Air, a luxurious electric sedan by Lucid Motors in Silicon Valley, was the most anticipated EV in recent years.

Surprisingly, what truly sets it apart is its heritage – the development of models was led by the same core team that collaborated with Elon Musk in establishing Tesla, a company that revolutionized the electric car industry. Having a supercar-beating performance and carrying its passengers in complete luxury at the same time, the Lucid Air is inarguably the best EV you can currently buy.

All details regarding the features, specs, and dimensions of Lucid Air have been sourced from the manufacturer’s press release and website.

One trivial about the lucid air is that the car has exterior dimensions similar to a Mercedes E-Class while offering more interior space than an S-Class. In particular, the passengers in the rear are treated to a generous amount of legroom, more so than other vehicles in its class. This is primarily attributed to the sedan layout of the vehicle that allows the designers to extend the second-row seats further to the back.

Lucid’s commitment to offering a spacious and well-rounded experience does not only apply to the passages but also to their cargo. Incorporating a miniaturized EV drivetrain results in ample additional space within the vehicle. This approach to engineering leaves a generous 739 liters of available luggage space, which stands out as the best of its class.

Moreover, the Lucid Air is equipped with DreamDrive, a system of driving assistance whose autonomous capability surpasses that of Model S. That means, in theory, the Lucid Air is safer than the Model S.
