2022 Lucid Air Review | Range and Performance Test of the Lucid Air Sedan | Price, Range & More
Рет қаралды 365,115
Күн бұрынThe Lucid Air is an all-new electric vehicle and the first car from American EV startup Lucid Motors. In this video, Alistair Weaver from Edmunds reviews the 2022 Lucid Air Dream Edition Range and talks about what to expect from the newest luxury electric cars to hit the market. Alistair goes into detail about the Lucid Air's range, how we tested it, and how our range test numbers compare to the EPA's numbers. Alistair then puts the luxury EV through a rigorous track test and reviews the Lucid Air's 0-60 time, how it handles on the road, how it brakes, and much more. Can the Air Dream Edition match the eye-popping range and performance numbers that Lucid has been boasting about? Watch our track test of the 2022 Lucid Air Dream Edition Range to find out.

I've had my Lucid Air GT for 3 months now and can say this video is an very honest assessment of the vehicle. There are some shortcomings in fit and finish along with software issues which usually exist in first run vehicles. Personally I'm satisfied with the teething pains of my Lucid, since the support has been great and once I get behind the wheel, it's all grins.

Also how often do you drive 500miles in one go? Curious. At 60mphthatwould be about 8hours of driving without stopping for bathroom or food or stretch brakes. Theresonly so much range that makes sense. It makes more sense to have a better, faster,and more reliable charging network. Elon himself has said he could increase the range more and more but what's the point? It'll make a heavier car and no one drives for thatlong

Your observation about the microphone that it probably resembles the flux capacitor is not true because I have seen this kind of microphone in some other cars as well here in Canada. The only difference is that this tripod microphone in other cars is located above the diver and passenger seat instead of the middle of the roof like lucid. Now, I don't remember the brand names of those cars but my point is that this kind of microphone is pretty common here. It is not something new that the Lucid has installed in their car.

Slightly annoyed that you constantly complain about tires being too poor for performance track testing portion. Lucid recommended the wider/stickier tires for that very reason.

As a Tesla Model S Performance owner, I do share the pains of door handles.
@kamilb8232 2 жыл бұрын
Nobody is taking their Lucids to a track. While owners can afford two sets of wheels, realistically they will only run one depending if they want the range (as tested) or performance. Edmunds wanted to give its best chance hitting the 500+ mile mark and owners that do as well should know how much dynamic performance will be degraded.

Jeez the seating position in the rear for big battery cars is horrible. There's no way passenger could stick that for 2/3 hours. It looks like you're doing an ab crunch!

They've taken years to release this vehicle. You can say that's bad as there are these issues. I think it's also good because they are in it for the long haul and will get it right. I put in a reservation for a Pure and it would be used for transporting clients, so I'll be watching closely as to the improvements made. Currently, I don't think I would go through with the purchase...

8:31it could also be reference to a y connection. which is a connection type for AC leads to an electric motor. although Delta is more common (I think), so if the Lucid uses that, never mind.

You said Lucid had the car before you tested it, did Tesla have the Plaid before you tested it? I recon Lucid tried to tidy up the car since they had it before your review?

I know enough about cars to know that the Hyundai generates more power to the rear wheels than the Mercedes. Embarrassing! For $120,000 I should expect my EV to do better than 5 seconds to 60mph!

Excellent review and the first one I see with really serious and justified criticism, while all the others were just fanboying... Considering the enormous quality differences in Teslas from Freemont (awful built quality) and China (excellent), it might be that it is simply the fact that US building quality is way below European-Chinese standards.
