There are currently two schools of thought when it comes to creating the latest and greatest luxury electric vehicle. The first is “Let’s keep it a car,” as in taking a perfectly normal luxury car and just swapping out the gas engine for an electric powertrain. We’ve seen this in the absolutely fantastic 2023 Genesis Electrified G80 sedan, which looks and operates just like a gas-powered G80 but features an excellent battery-electric powertrain instead. The other school of thought is “Let’s make a spaceship,” and we’ve seen the perfect example of that in all of the latest Mercedes-EQ sedans. They’re wildly styled, feature crazy tech-laden interiors and practically require two weeks of astronaut training to operate them.
But don’t you wish that someone would mix the two schools up? Like, make a car that’s easy to operate and works like a car, but also features wild styling and genuinely luxurious trimmings? Well, somebody has. With the Lucid Air Grand Touring, you get the best of both worlds.
