2024 Lucid Air Grand Touring review
The Air Grand Touring is a sleek electric vehicle (EV) with a claimed drag coefficient of 0.197, a 283-litre frunk, a 627-litre boot, a maximum charging power of 300kW, and a record WLTP range of up to 843km. However, it is not selling well globally due to slow ramp-up, tight budgets, and struggling to match Chinese start-ups. The starting price of the 462kW Lucid Touring AWD is US$96,500 (A$151,000), while similar money can buy a 335kW Mercedes EQS, a 406kW BMW i7 xDrive 60, or a 761kW Tesla Model S Plaid.
The Air Grand Touring is the new undisputed pit stop king, with a WLTP average consumption of 14.9kWh/100km. It shares its footprint with the Model S but packs 100kg more heft and its 118kWh battery cannot match Tesla’s 130kWh power pack. The Air Grand Touring is the only EV with a frunk worth a damn and is poised to win the street cred sweepstakes. WhichCar
