The BMW i7's ultra-luxe interior and technology give it a big leg up on the Lucid Air, so which Edmunds video would you want to watch on that giant theater screen in the back seat? Let us know in the comments!

So it seems like the Lucid is a high quality EV with some great luxury elements whereas the i7 is a true luxury limousine with an electric powertrain.

Edmunds is giving BMW a lot of passes in this video. 06:38 seats. --BMW i7 Merino leather / cashmere combination costs an extra $6,450 above standard seating. BMW's site states "Leather will be on all seating surfaces; other components may be Leather or Leatherette" (i.e. plastic leather). --Lucid Grand Touring is standard ($0 extra) Nappa full grain leather on ALL surfaces, along with Alcantara inserts where applicable. Merino will give a more plush and softer feel, at the expense of durability, stain resistance, and scratching. Nappa leather is typically used on more sporty cars, Alcantara is a man-made suede alternative that is very resistant to stains and wear. 07:00 speaker grills that can cut you. He literally said he lost part of his fingernail when reaching for the window control 07:28 stating that BMW has more dials than Lucid... then immediately mentioning a lot of controls where BMW has no dial or button and failing to mention that Lucid does have a dial or button for that same function... 07:38 for A/C control only on BMW touch screen ; Lucid has button toggle for air temp and fan speed for driver and front passenger...07:40 for following distance on a BMW touch screen ; Lucid has button for following distance on steering wheel. 10:23 ..."Lucid is not a 6 figure interior, but BMW's front dash is???".... LOL... I would have expected more than conjecture from Edmunds. 12:36 ..dismissive of Lucid's impressive range for a full 40 seconds of video, but where are the comparisons to BMW's actual EV range.... no mention of BMW's actual observed range other than briefly stating BMW's stated range for 1 second at 12:30 ...hmmmm. 12:51 ..spreading misinformation that Lucid still has a problem with it's range estimator. Lucid did tweak its range estimator 3 times in the past 2 years based on feedback from real-world scenarios (source: www.lucidupdates.com/update-tracker.html) 13:26 ..dismissive of Lucid's faster charging architecture because.... reasons 13:51 ..scoring lower because of past software problems that do not exist anymore...honestly? Yes, I understand that Lucid is not perfect and doesn't have some options that people may find useful on a luxury sedan; however, BMW is not perfect either. Please edit your videos in ways that shows you do not have tunnel vision due to the brand. It is possible to be funny, and objective at the same time!

I'm not a big fan of any all electric vehicle but if I was I would still think after watching this review that the Lucid is a much better all electric vehicle than the BMW for one main reason and that is range. Range anxiety is a real thing and even as tested your own model has over 100 miles more range. This means no down time...no having to go to a charge station and wait for the battery to be topped up just enough to continue your trip no loss of time which in every aspect is a huge advantage. The interior of the BMW is nicer yes and the passengers in the back have some really nice comfortable options but unless your main objective is to be a chauffeur then it's really not something a person looking to buy a daily driver would weigh as a factor for buying the BMW over the Lucid. Not to take away from the BMW as it is a nice car even if it's not very good looking.

Imagine the lucid with the bmw interior and tech...MAGIC!

Great video. Well explained and very articulate. As always....appreciate the timestamps.

I'd take the Lucid any day.

Lucid is much better

This is not a fair comparison, even the touring and GT arent as much as the bmw i7. If i go and look in inventory, bmw starts like like 128, where as lucid you can get for 105k.

Guys one of your best. well done and entertaining.

Lucid is the one to get

liked, commented, and subscribed because the host is great and has good genes.

DANG IT!!!! I came here for the drag race!!! 😡😡 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

I would also get the Beemer. I love comfy luxirous car and don't care that much for the speed

I love the bmw wheels and both cars are nice but I much rather have the BMW

Great video, but would love to see these on the track with Clint and you in the back

Now compare the Lucid Air Touring with the BMW i5 M60. Both are under $100K, well equipped.

This guy is great. I've seen all of his car reviews. Very articulate. and his shoe game is on point

Lucid for the look, sportiness, luxury all well compromised balance.

Fabulous review. Articulate, and witty. Well done👍👍🥂

I’d easily take a Lucid Air GT over the BMW.

Why might as well sell y’all Lucid y’all seem to not like it compared to any other vehicles.

Good review. Thanks.😊

Yea the bmw is a much nicer car. True luxury at its heart.

Although you get a lot more luxury from the bmw for its price. It seems like bmw is equipping the i7 with different and cool amenities that havent been on a car before, but amenities that are not ground breaking. Any car company can equip a bunch of screens in the back seat and reclining-massage rear seats at a cost. But not every car company can offer the efficiency in power and range that lucid does. That being said, itd be nice if lucids price point was a bit lower.

What is the cost of ownership projected to be over 5 years? Traditional BMW's will eat you alive with their dealer maintenance items. Even being an EV, I'm sure dealers have pressed BMW to keep these things coming in for various "services". Would like to know what those costs are estimated at.

I feel like BMW is a well made car compare to Lucid. I need to drive one!

They are both better than the eqs

Bmw i7 easily but blacked out. If i get an EV it would be used like a rolls royce is. Pure luxury cruising around. It speaks volumes about the experience and driving engagement real sports cars bring u that an EV can NEVER. Ive been inside a tesla and is just doesnt feel like ur in something special. Its so dull and plain jane. It has no luxury. My buddy lets me drive his targa gts porsche time to time and oh my god, bro. The engine. The revs the downshifts. All the people checking out the car. Its insane. The noise alone is what makes me want to drive it over and over again. Best way to describe it is. Speeding in a tesla is like having sex with earplugs in. Only ur body feels it.( Except for the terrible wind noise in the cabin from poor sound isolation.) Real sports cars hit and fill ur entire senses. The rumbling of the engine the visceral special occasion it feels like everytime ur in it. Cant be matched.

lucid wins :))

Cashmere, just like the sweater! 😂

Lucid😍❤️❤️❤️

300 miles range for that price is terrible..only practical for the one one percentage

Sorry no car person can point to goddamn crystals on the dash without laughing or cursing

i7 looks ugly, can we get a even bigger grill please? maybe i'll make some BBQ

@7:05 "I lost a chunk of my pinky fingernail...." ouch!! Lol!!

It's quite obvious that Edmunds is not happy with Lucid since the beginning. I would think its because they didn't get a Lucid before or after the launch. Its clear that you v been trying to teach them a lesson. I could see that clearly when you put it up against the bmw M6, so that review was to bash the handling and this one to bash the interior quality 😂

Lucid ❤️

Bmw got that built in nail clipper

The cup runneth over😂😂

🤔...finally a video showing what luxury is instead of people and its CEO constantly saying how ultra luxury the Lucid, the Lucid interior is just a standard interior you pay $150k for

I love BMW 🤤🤤🤤

Love the grill. Love the 21" wheels even more. My favorite over black version and others. Cashmere blend. Cashmere would wear way too easily.

BMW just couldn't shed the beaver front end, even with a car that DOESN'T HAVE A RADIATOR. Gives a whole new illustration of "butt ugly."

I guess this is why Tesla is getting into cheaper and a cheaper vehicles. Tesla’s $100k models will not be able to compete with MB, Audi and BMW EVs in a few years

This BMW looks hideous and unappealing ! Besides, lacks range AND power. Just luxury interiors aren’t going to be enough. Lucid clearly is a more modern and practical car - coming from a BMW fan. Used to own the legendary E46 330 coupe.

Not a fan of Lucid, but BMW has no true updates over the air, which is a huge disadvantage in my book. I suspect the software is probably also a lot worse in usual German fashion.

The BMW like like my electric shaver

The i7 has the fifth generation electric motor and thus has BRUSHES again, old school tech, bmw can't say what the life expectancy is of these brushes, I'd say some might be in for a huge surprise at 60-80.000Km or even much earlier. They found their trick in the business model ( How to steal as much money as possible from our customers) No idea so many stupid peolple keep going back for these overpriced mainly cheapest chinese parts vehicles.

Never thought that the legacy automakers would be able to adapt this quickly to produce a more tech forward vehicle than the new startups. No area is it more evident than in the hands free driving technology gap. Tesla has been going at this forever and still can't offer a hands free driving experience that doesn't rely on the crutch of a Beta moniker!

Bmw all the way ❤

LOL, this is a no-brainer. BMW is just in a different class. Sorry Lucid.

This was a very good comparison video until the unnecessarily cheesy segment on the rear passenger seating. The dispassionate tone was gone and the lame attempt at humor undermined your authority in automotive. Please stick to the facts! Otherwise, this was a very good video.

Really did not give the Lucid enough credit for being a new company / its first car ever… vs BMW who has been at of for a long time…

Lucid did a great job for the first car, but not the bmw level yet.

BMW for lavish luxury and not the worry of bad build quality

Just 100 miles more for the Lucid. Wat!

Why would anybody want to rely on a vehicle to drive for themselves.. i guess in todays views, because I drive 40 miles to work, and every stoplight, i look over to someone on their cellphone. To the point, where at a left turn lane, where if people were actually paying attention they could get 6 cars through a light. But yet, no. 3 cars at best, why because technology is more important. Lets sit at a green arrow for 6 to 10 seconds before i actually look at the green arrow .

You just made the lucid price share increase after posting this video

How much did BMW pay edmunds?

Completely unnecessary big screen in the BMW tbh unless I live in it.

Anyone can tell just by looking at them that BMW does it better - true limousine interior space

Beautiful girls know the BMW but don’t know LUCID.

BMW LOOKS OUT DATED SAME OLD BMW DESIGN. NOT HAPPENING. LUCID LOOKS COOL FRESH MODERN. Range is sooo much more. BMW needs be under 45k to sell. Lucid will be cheaper in 2025

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO LUCID FAMILY 🙋‍♂️😉🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🕺🕺🕺😁👏👏😉👍🫡

Sorry but i7 range still in low 300's max 321miles. That's unacceptable for a 150k car😵‍💫 I take the lucid over it for its long range 😁

Lucid Air is a very mediocre car for the price. BMW all the way for me.

that bmw front end is just ugly lol

I've test driven both, and the I7 is the more luxurious.

One problem with BMW, it's a butt effin ugly.

We need a Porsche 911 turbos s drag race!!

no frunk, no buy

This guy is definitely getting paid by BMW. Haha. American made is the wave.

all great, until the bmw screen stops coming down and then you pay 5k to fix it, lmao

It sucks that under the buying agreement for both cars it is mandated that the drivers must dress exactly like the Nard dog. Graduating from Cornell is luckily optional.

I can't get over how ugly the BMW is. Would much rather the Lucid.

More speed means nothing

The i7 front look so ugly. I really can’t stand it.

Electric car companies make better EV's, automobile manufacturers make better cars.

MY EYES MY EYES !! LOL It's so ugly, If i had the means I would buy that BMW just so I can set fire to it.

Bmw is ugly but a way better luxury car

Wow the i7 looks soooo ugly compared to lucid

“Hey BMW”-‘yes’ “Please open the drivers door.” My pinky hurts.🫢 14:31 #fingergrater

That bmw 🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮
