Fox News
The electric Lucid Air has been picked by Motor Trend as its 2022 car of the year. The American-made sedan can cover 520 miles per charge and has prices ranging from $77,400 to $169,000.
The publication cited the Air's maximum range of 520 miles per charge, optional 1,111 hp powertrain and styling as the main attributes that set it apart from the other six finalists, which included the electric Mercedes-Benz EQS and Porsche Taycan.
The Air is also the most efficient electric vehicle, according to the EPA, and is available in a high performance model that can accelerate to 60 mph in under 2.5 seconds.
Deliveries of the range-topping $169,000 Air Dream Edition began in October and will be followed by several less expensive trims, with the entry level Air Pure priced at $77,400.
