Lucid Air Grand Touring vs Mercedes-Benz EQS 450
Verdict: The Lucid Air Grand Touring delivers a class‑leading 512‑mile EPA range (Car and Driver) and blistering 3.1‑second 0‑60 time (MotorTrend), making it the clear choice for range‑obsessed drivers. However, its $139k price and sparse dealer footprint (Consumer Reports) diminish overall value. The Mercedes‑Benz EQS 450 offers a refined interior, advanced MBUX tech, and a more approachable $111.5k price, but its 350‑mile range and 5.4‑second sprint lag behind the Air GT (Edmunds, Roadshow).
Lucid Air Grand Touring lists at $139,000 while Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 lists at $111,550 — Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 undercuts Lucid Air Grand Touring by $27,450 (25%).
