Reviews SummaryIt’s not easy to launch a new car, let alone a new car company. Nevertheless, Lucid recently achieved liftoff with the Air sedan, joining Rivian as an electric vehicle startup with legitimate long-term potential. Based in California and building EVs in a new factory in Arizona, Lucid holds plenty of promise. That’s evident in the 2023 Lucid Air, now available in a more affordable Pure trim level that brings the starting price below $90,000. And soon, the 2024 Lucid Gravity SUV will join the lineup, giving the company a three-row luxury EV in the format people prefer. | |
Reviews SummaryIf you've been seeking an all-electric three-row SUV and have incredibly high expectations for luxury, comfort, and technology, you can't do any better than the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. You also get plenty of range and potent acceleration, though at a rather exorbitant price. All things considered, we think it easily justifies the cost. | |
