For years, Tesla has been the benchmark in the world of electric vehicles. It doesn\u2019t matter how good the competition is, every new EV is compared to a Tesla product. However, that might change very soon, as every new EV should be compared to the Lucid Air, which just might be the most impressive electric vehicle ever made.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve known about the Lucid Air for a long time now<\/a>, as the California-based brand has been teasing its products for a couple of years. However, the first ever real review of the top-end Lucid Air Dream Edition just went live on Motor Trend<\/a>. Our friend Jonny Lieberman was fortunate enough to be the first member of the press to ever drive it. According to him, every brand is pretty much beat at the moment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The top-end Lucid Air Dream Edition comes in two flavors; R and P. The former stands for \u201cRange\u201d and the latter for \u201cPerformance\u201d. The Air Dream Edition R gets 933 horsepower from its two electric motors and 113 kWh battery pack and around 500 miles of range. While the Air Dream Edition P gets 1,111 horsepower and around 450 miles of range. Interestingly, both are exactly the same price. So, as a customer, you just choose what you prioritize more; range or power.<\/p>\n

Lieberman was only able to test the Lucid Air Dream Edition R, with the higher range. He also tested in its middle setting; there are Smooth, Swift, and Sprint to choose from, with Smooth and Swift using 670 horsepower and Sprint getting the full 933 horses. Interestingly, due to a miscommunication, Lieberman thought his Lucid Air made 804 horsepower in its Swift mode, as that\u2019s how much power the performance model makes in Swift. And yet, he never questioned the 804 horsepower, which proves just how bonkers fast the Ludic Air really is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, Lieberman\u2019s comparison was a four-door, luxury Nissan GT-R, due to its insane grip, power, and precision. It\u2019s said to have great steering, a lovely ride, incredible performance, and shockingly good body control for a 5,000 lb-plus sedan. Which makes sense, considering the CEO and CTO (Chief Technical Officer) of Lucid is Peter Rawlinson, who was formerly the chief engineer at both Tesla and Lotus. His experience at the former helped him create a great EV but it\u2019s his experience at the latter that helped him turn the great EV into a great driver\u2019s car.<\/p>\n

During their drive, Lieberman took the Lucid Air from Los Angeles to San Francisco, which is about 350 miles, at normal speeds, air conditioning on, and without trying to hypermile it. However, they didn\u2019t take a super direct route and stopped off for lunch at around 205 miles in. After that, they still needed to drive 204 miles to get to their destination, a vintage watch shop. And they made it, the full 409 miles, without stopping to charge once. That bests the Tesla Model S Long Range\u2019s hypermile-range by four miles.<\/p>\n

Even better still, they drove an additional 36 miles to Lucid\u2019s headquarters in Newark, California. But here\u2019s the real kicker: Lieberman\u2019s Air still had 69 miles miles of range left on its battery. If its onboard system is to be trusted, that would total 475 miles of range, without doing a crazy hypermiling attempt.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to read Lieberman\u2019s review of the Lucid Air Dream Edition and not come away with a ton of excitement for the brand. It\u2019s not just the power, specs, and incredible range. It\u2019s the fact that it combines all of those things in a great looking package, with an absolutely fantastic interior, and surprisingly good handling. If you\u2019re even slightly interested in cars, check out this review because the Ludic Air Dream Edition is an absolute game changer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
