Overview
The Lucid Air is an electric sedan with 5 seats, a 92 kWh battery and a quoted NRCan range of 675 km. On paper it suits families who want space without moving up to a van. Prices start at around C$98,550, with leases quoted from about C$1050 a month.
Its headline specification point is straightforward: the longest range and fastest charging of any production EV. The sections below break the published figures down and set them against the other electric cars in our Canadian database.
Design & practicality
Bodystyle is a sedan with 5 seats and 970 litres of cargo space. Against every EV in the database that puts it above average for outright carrying capacity, and among the very best among other sedans.
Cargo space volume is generous enough for family holidays and bulky pushchairs without folding seats down.
Range & charging
The quoted NRCan range is 675 km from 92 kWh of usable-plus-buffer capacity — among the very best in the database for distance between charges. Real-world figures are typically 10–25% lower in cold weather and at sustained highway speeds.
That is a large battery, normally paired with high-power rapid charging. As with any EV, the running-cost picture depends far more on whether you can charge at home overnight than on the charging speed itself.
Performance
The published 0–100 km/h time is 2.5 seconds, which puts it among the very best for acceleration here and makes it seriously fast by the numbers. Electric drivetrains deliver that pull instantly from a standstill, so town-speed responses tend to feel stronger than the figure suggests.
Tech & features
We score cabin technology at 10/10 based on published equipment levels, which is above average across the database. The specification highlight is that the longest range and fastest charging of any production EV.
Expect a large central screen, over-the-air updates and driver assistance as standard on most trims.
Price & value
New prices run from C$98,550 to C$343,600, with three-year-old used examples from around C$62,100 and leases quoted from C$1050 a month. That sits at the upper-middle of the electric cars in this database, and the upper-middle of the sedans specifically.
Our value score, which weighs the price against range, space and equipment, is 6/10. Whether it works out cheaper than your current car depends on your distance, fuel price and charging setup — the cost calculator does that maths properly.
