The 2023 Lucid Air Grand Touring Is An Ultra Luxury Electric Sedan With Top Dog Range 

Happy Weds guys! We’ve been so excited to drive the Lucid Air ever since it came out! It truly does feel like the rival that Tesla has been fearing for years. Once Lucid gets the software glitches under control, the insanely long range and premium craftsmanship will really shock you! Color us impressed, looking forward to seeing their upcoming Gravity SUV later this year.

Always been a Lucid booster from even before they released their first model. This new Lucid Air Grand Touring is a supremely capable and luxurious car. My hope is that Lucid comes out with more affordable models.

These are absolutely mesmerizing in person. So impressive. The design is years ahead of any Tesla.

I recently visited to a Lucid showroom in Seattle area. They had a Grand Touring on display. Absolutely stunning. A true luxury car with luxurious features to match the price. The paint quality is near Lexus levels.

Take close notice Telsa. This is how a car is suppose to be built like!

Hopefully Lucid sees a lot of success! It might finally give Tesla the push to up their quality significantly and redesign their cars, at least visually

As a Lucid GT owner, I can say the car is a pleasure to drive on a daily basis. I get tons of compliments and interest in it. Truly a work of art.

Looks perfect to me. My only nit is that I'd prefer black carpeting on the floor.

I saw this on the road one day and asked... "Is this where the future is headed?" it looks very futuristic.

Lucids interior is by far the best I've seen in a car. Goes beyond mercedes EQs or BMW is. Especially the seats. The interior looks like something from the architectural digest magazine. It looks way better in real life than in the photos in their promotional material.

I lol'd when you did that first launch. 😆

I agree 5:56 that these Lucids look better in person than in photos.

Finally an EV I could see myself in.

It’s impressive the founder of Lucid was a Designer and engineer for Tesla and actually did work on the Model S

I saw my first one on the road between Washington PA and Pittsburg 2 weeks ago. It looked nicer than in videos ive seen.

Better looking car than Tesla.

I’ve seen a few of these in the wild and, man, they look slick. The Lucid Air has this Sapphire trim that appears will be one of the, if not the, quickest car in the world. It smoked the Plaid on a Hagerty drag race. Very impressive. Hopefully, Lucid sticks around.

I love that Lucid has a traditional gauge cluster and incorporated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto!

I had a model s for ten years, love the car but was even more pleasantly surprised by my new air GT. Power, range, style aside, I am just hooked by Air GT's amazing driving dynamics. Go test drive, it will make your day

Holy cow the Lucid Air is the quickest electric car that’s incredible!!😃

Always love your reviews. The EV landscape seems to be full of flagship vehicles. Like to see more accessible options.

You know I love this section of your videos...yet the whole video was awesome 👍

Always good to bump into you unexpectedly here and there! My biggest hope is that Lucid can stay in business long enough for its production to catch up otherwise it will not make it as a business!

I actually haven't heard a single thing about Lucid since they released this. I have see a few. But I hear more about Rivian and the issues they been having compared to the Air. I do kinda like the idea of having more American companies or just new brands in general. They are obviously unaffordable and not for me. But still like the thought. I'm Ina weird double standard spot where I would laugh at their mistakes but also be disappointed if they went under.

I honestly think this is the best looking EV on the market.

Wow Reaaally impressive review... you have touched each minor practical aspect of a vehicle. You are guru in reviewing vehicles. Keep the impressive job up. Thanks

lol..Sofyan's giiggles say it all. Yes...this cars performance is flat out insane. TY for the great content as always

I’ve been waiting for your review on the Lucid Air ever since it came out!

There's a road safety law that you must always have tail lights even when the back trunk is open , because if you drive with it open (on accident) you won't have tail-lights and you could be rear-ended. So any car that has tail lights on the hatch needs a second set

First, I love that it's designed and made in the USA! Too bad it's so Effing Expensive! I know, ya got "Pay to Play", I'm ok with that, but so few people can afford this car - which makes me not give a damn about it.

This vehicle is GORGEOUS 😍.

Firs impressions are everything and this car is beautiful

Better looking and seemingly better quality than a Tesla. Sure, a Plaid may be faster, but this seems more of a complete vehicle, particularly for the money. It kind of reminds me of a modern Chrysler LH-series car in style, which isn't a bad thing. And yes, the jelly-belly MBs are just atrocious, don't have a frunk, and aren't the most efficient despite their teardrop shape. And as for i7...well, tastes are an acquired item... I wish GM(less likely with the Ultium system being new), Ford, or Stellantis would partner with Lucid to further exploit their battery-propulsion systems. We are talking about a "start-up" delivering 400+ miles of range from a true full-size 'Murican sedan that is 5200+lbs. Imagine with a cash infusion from the Big 3 that still lag with a vehicle that offer this mix of power and efficiency.

I have never seen a car reviewer have so much fun with acceleration 🙂

It pulls harder because it’s actually unleashing all 800+HP above 60+ MPH. Below that speed they are lilting torque/power so that it doesn’t do an AWD burnout. Kind of like how the Model S Plaid only releases the full 1000HP above speeds of 80MPH. So a rolling acceleration from 60-70MPH in a plaid almost feel like it launches as hard from a dig.

Best review of the Lucid Air. Worth the wait !

Lucid is awesome future technology here today. I love what they are doing.

It needs a modern configurable HUD and would be nice if they had an adjustable blind spot camera for the A pillars.

Almost at a million subs, Sofyan and team!! **watch out Doug DeMuro and Hoovie**!!😁

Seen this thing in person!🔥 simple yet commands presence

Beautiful car! And like most beautiful cars, unattainable for most people. May as well be a Ferrari, which I would probably prefer to put a down payment on if I had the cash for a Lucid.

This EV is sexy as hell! Definitely looks way better than a Tesla, I’ll say it for you lol!

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO LUCID FAMILY 🙋‍♂️❤🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉😉👍😁👏👏🙆‍♂️GREAT JOB ON THE LUCID REVIEW 😁✌

Great Review. It is nice to see competition to the Model S.

Thoroughly enjoyed your Lucid Air review as I do all your reports. You are a sharp guy Sofyan, so I'd like to remind you the company that makes the 911 is Porsh-uh not Porsh. Thanks kiddo.

Another great “real world” introduction to a new EV option. Thank you Kim!

The Sapphire is bad ass!

I think the build quality is amazing, especially if you compare it to Tesla in earlier days

I’ve seen three Lucid Airs in my neighborhood. Beautiful cars.

My Tesla model S makes that same wrrring noise. Sounds awesome. I wish you could set an external noise like the Audi Etron makes. Lucid makes a much nicer car. Redline Reviews is the King of car reviews!

great car but the standout thing to me was the freaking 360 camera!! that looked like a high res video game

I love th mid century modern design philosophy of the car. A beautiful vehicle. Hopefully the lower trims come out soon so I can actually afford one.

The roof would be an issue for some. I wish someone invents roof with smart 'transition glass" that you turn on to make glass roof darker and off - to make it lighter allowing abundant sunlight. Sun visors are so awkwardly placed... future car my foot 😂

Is the inside frunk release button used to open the frunk and used to close the frunk.

Finally you got your hands on Lucid! This stuff been out for a while and you usually get new models fairly early, what happened here?

I learn new words and metaphors from him every video. “Finger print magnet” lol

Great review!! Very honest about what it can't do, which is good to know before laying out $138,000+ for a car that's not yet ready for prime time. PLEASE review this car again once it gets the very needed updates and Apple Car Play. Any timeline given for those rollout updates? Keep up the GREAT work. I truly value your reviews.

Such a great EV package. Range for road trips (or weekly work commute), luxury interior, and very spacious. That price tho 🥲

those seats😍

A good review, but I was perplexed by your comment that the backseat is "pretty much the same as what you get in the Tesla Model S". We have a 2021 Model S Plaid and a 2022 Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance. The passenger cabin of the Air is roomier generally (and far more luxurious) than the Model S but absolutely blows it away in cabin length. With the driver seat in each car set to my preferred driving position, there is 9.5" more of fore/aft rear legroom in the Air. Both cars jack your knees up a bit in the rear due to the battery modules under the floorboard, but the added cabin length of the Air reduces the bend angle of the knee considerably. In fact, if we're carrying more than two adults, we invariably opt for the Air over the Model S. If you opt for the smaller battery pack in the Air (which still gives the car a bit more EPA range than a Long Range Model S), the floorboard drops 3.15", putting the Lucid rear seating position on par with an S Class Mercedes or 7 Series BMW. Lucid has done an astonishing job with interior packaging on this vehicle.

Best Car Review Channel On The Planet

I saw 3 of them today. I was stunned

Lucid's constant updates have brought Apple CarPlay and other new feature since this review came out. The software is now much faster. Lucid is targeted to compete more with Mercedes, Audi, and BMW than with Tesla. Lucid's suspension and driving dynamics are special things. CEO Rawlinson was head engineer at Jaguar and then Lotus before designing the Model S. Chief designer Jenkins previously designed the ND MX-5. Many engineers with deep automotive experience work at Lucid. the Air is a driver's car. Over the last 18 months mine has been mechanically flawless.

Would've been nice if you took it to a charging station like you did with the BZ4x I guess you didn't had enough time with the Air

Nice! I wish they’d make the central display fingerprint resistant 😮

Looking better than EQS but trunk tailgate is better in EQS for sure 😉 center screen is better in Tesla no doubt 😀 Overall looking good but far for perfect 🤔 keep up with good work 🍻

How does a seat move in 21 ways? Does it not move back? Don’t seats have to move in even numbers?

This a dream car right there

Lucid looks amazing !

Seen one today on the road I was thinking it was a electric porche pretty dope car

This will be my 1st Lucid Air to get Sofyan.

I wonder how much it is to replace that windshield.

Fabulous automobile but I read the waiting time for one of their vehicles can be up to a year. The report stated they sold 35000 vehicles (approximately) of one particular model but can only produce a fraction of that number per year. Anyone else have different information?

Great review. Love this car

Impressive machine!

I have stock in LUCID great car awesome product

I have a couple hundred shares of this at a major loss hahahaahha please keep promoting it

Wonder review as usual

Oh my gosh, it looks gorgeous and I’m a Tesla fan! Ill probably never own one sadly. Lucid reminds me of a luxury brand like Cadillac and I can’t see them making an affordable model. But who knows.

The keyfob does have buttons. It’s how many times you click on it. That’s why you thought it’s freaking out.

Absolutely gorgeous vehicle

In my opinion, this car looks a lot better and luxurious dans the Model S, I wonder how quiet it is in the cabin, we seem to hear the electric engine a lot. Looking forward to try it

Nice review as always. Looking forward to a comparison between a Lucid and BMW i7.

Never clicked on a video so fast in my life. 🙌🏼

9:22 interesting 🤔 I thought these LEDs would automatically turn on like hazards but they apparently mimic the turn signals. Also the sun visors are due to US regulations.

Still the best EV car for me to drive one day.

Lucid killed it. Just wow!

400 miles real world range???? wow!

New front Sonata gives me Lucid vibe. That's not a bad thing

Its beautiful

Car is so beautiful 🔥🔥🔥🔥

if driving at 120 mph for one hour on track what would range be?

Very sexy car , fingers crossed they release the Gravity soon 👍🏽.

I like the styling more than the Tesla, but there too many little issues at this time. I'm going to give EV's about another 5-7 years before I fully commit. Thanks for the content.

6:16 Yes! & Yes! Lucid is about to put Tesla to shame.

Amazing ❤

Best car I've driven.

If I could afford it, I'd get lucid air as my next vehicle

Handsome car, certainly better than the Tesla Jellybean school of design. The chase for sub three-second 0-60 times is concerning in 2.5 ton and up vehicles. Should be a hit with the one percenters.

Awesome car Love It.
