Reviews SummaryNot only does the 2023 Porsche Taycan perform as any new car from Porsche should, but it's also more versatile than you might think. It may not have the impressive range of some of its rivals, but it's easily one of our favourite EVs for its sleek styling and strong build quality. | |
Reviews SummaryThree years into its lifecycle, the electric Lucid Air sedan sees drastic price cuts and increases for 2024. A new trim, the Sapphire, costs well over a quarter-million dollars in Canada and outperforms every series-production EV in acceleration, handling, and range. Lucid Motors has done a decade and a half's worth of development and hired some of the best mechanical and software engineers in the business. Unlike its rivals, the Air feels like a complete luxury sedan from top to bottom, and with the proper charging station at home, it could replace all need for a gas car. Verdict: With speed, style, and superior range, the 2024 Lucid Air is a luxury sedan that doesn't need to make excuses as an electric car. | |
