If you’re on the hunt for an all-new, all-electric luxury sedan, you undoubtedly want to compare the EQS vs. Lucid Air differences in range, performance, acceleration, and features. While the Lucid Air numbers seem impressive, they may not add up to the driving experience you want. Let’s compare the interior, safety features, and tech in both vehicles to see which new electric sedan provides the luxury and enjoyment you want from your daily driver.
The first place we’ll start our EQS vs. Lucid Air comparison is the interior. The new EQS immediately distinguishes itself from other premium luxury electric cars for sale thanks to the 12.8-inch OLED touchscreen central multimedia display and MBUX digital in-dash displays.

Easily pinch, swipe and tap through menus or use the hands-free Bluetooth® audio streaming with an advanced voice recognition system.
