The Air is the first model from the startup automaker Lucid Motors. Along with swept-back styling which gives it dashing good looks, it has a long driving range and is as roomy as a stately limousine. In many ways, we were quite impressed with this all-electric model, thanks to its super-quick acceleration, agile handling—no mean feat, considering this car’s large size and heft—and luxurious cabin. But we’re not fans of its perplexing controls, obstructed outward visibility, and excessive wind noise. Plus, buying a car from a manufacturer with no history is a giant leap of faith in terms of service and reliability.
With 620 horsepower and all-wheel drive, the Air is deceivingly fast, with a seemingly never-ending flow of power. Yet, the speed is gathered in a measured way rather than making occupants feel like they were shot out of a cannon, as we’ve encountered with some high-power electric vehicles we’ve tested. By the numbers it’s speedier than you’ll ever need—the Touring model sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in a crazy quick 3.5 seconds.
