## Caption

California’s Lucid has produced an electric car with an EPA-rated 520 miles—enough to beat the Tesla Model S in range and efficiency. That, in a car offering up to 1,111 hp, which exceeds the Plaid's 1,020 hp. And it can make shorter road-trip charging stops, with up to 300 miles restored in 20 minutes. Further, it presents a holistic reinterpretation of luxury and design that, even from the launchpad, is a formidable challenger to existing luxury brands.

It’s also charming to drive, with a graceful and responsive character that matches the beautiful exterior—seemingly influenced by aircraft and French design and offering what might be the best-ever take on a long, low, cab-forward style. With a bright, welcoming interior that feels premium in the sense of Volvo or DS and seating you can sprawl out in, front or back, the cabin showcases all that you can free up in a clean-slate design that frees itself of what Lucid design VP Derek Jenkins has called “legacy thinking.”

All that together makes the Lucid Air a contender. And while the car alone is enough to easily earn a place as one of our Best Car To Buy finalists, there’s a reality to come to terms with: The Air, at least for 2022, is an extremely low-volume car. 

Should the Lucid Air be named Green Car Reports Best Car To Buy 2022? 

Come back Monday, January 3 when we reveal the winner.
