What Is the 2023 Lucid Air?

The 2023 Lucid Air is an electric five-seat luxury sedan with an EPA-estimated driving range of 384 miles to 516 miles, depending on trim level and equipment. That’s the longest on the market (at least for the moment), bettering rivals like the Tesla Model S, Mercedes-Benz EQS, Audi E-Tron GT and Porsche Taycan. Sleek and highly aerodynamic, the base Pure trim has a single electric motor that sends 480 horsepower to the rear wheels via a single-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is optional, as are more powerful electric powertrains that turn the Air into one of the quickest-accelerating vehicles on sale today. DC fast charging allows the Air to add 300 miles of range in only 20 minutes.

What’s New on the 2023 Lucid Air?

A new range-topping Sapphire trim is slated to join the Air lineup for the 2023 model year. With a tri-motor powertrain that delivers around 1,200 hp  and a claimed top speed in excess of 200 mph, it’s no wonder Lucid is asking around $250,000 for this wildly powerful EV. Also available is a new package that replaces the Air’s exterior brightwork with dark-gray trim and black alloy wheels.

What Features in the 2023 Lucid Air Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • 34-inch “Glass Cockpit” instrument display and infotainment system
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto
  • Amazon Alexa
  • Power-retractable touchscreen
  • Satellite radio
  • Navigation
  • Three USB ports
  • Wi-Fi hot spot
  • Quad-zone climate control
  • 10-speaker stereo
  • 19-inch alloy wheels

Available features include:

  • Leather seating
  • Glass roof
  • All-wheel drive
  • 21-inch alloy wheels
  • 21-speaker stereo
  • DreamDrive Pro highway driving assist

Should I Buy the 2023 Lucid Air?

If you want the most driving range of any electric vehicle currently on sale and have the means to afford one, the Lucid Air is highly recommended. Extremely efficient and incredibly powerful, this electric sedan is at the cutting edge of technology. The cabin is elegant and spacious, though its reliance on touchscreen controls for almost every vehicle function does take some getting used to.
