Starting at $70,900, 4 the Air Pure offers elegant design, outstanding driver engagement, and Lucid's game-changing proprietary EV technology, allowing it to deliver an exceptional driving range of up to an EPA-estimated 420 miles.5

"It's a tremendous achievement to have both of Lucid's vehicles named to Car and Driver's renowned 10Best – in the first year of eligibility for Lucid Gravity and a three-peat for Lucid Air," said Emad Dlala, SVP of Engineering & Digital at Lucid. "It's a testament to the concerted efforts from this company's engineers and employees to continually innovate while ensuring an unparalleled driving experience."

Nominees for the 2026 10Best list consist of all-new vehicles or those with significant updates, along with 2025 10Best winners. After two weeks of driving more than 100 new cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs that met Car and Driver's criteria, the editors assigned each vehicle a score of zero to 100. The votes were averaged to arrive at the 10Best of 2026.

"Both of Lucid's products are on the 10Best list this year," said Tony Quiroga, Editor-in-Chief of Car and Driver. "The Air returns for the third year and continues to offer luxury, refinement, sophistication, range, and driving excitement in a practical and spacious sedan package. New to the list this year, the Gravity wowed us with its impressive range, fast charging, quick acceleration, and agile handling. Lucid's attention to detail shows throughout, from the spaciousness of each row of seats to the large frunk to the way the tailgate closes, every inch of the Gravity is thoughtfully designed."
