What reviewers say

Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 Long Range RWD (2024)

Only one whitelisted tester, MotorTrend, published a hands-on review covering the exact 2024 Ioniq 5 line; Edmunds (fetch-blocked) and Car and Driver (page now covers the 2025-2026 facelift, not the 2024 RWD) were excluded. MotorTrend praises the spacious interior, fast charging and value, and recommends the single-motor RWD for its 303-mile range (the most in the Ioniq 5 lineup), while flagging the missing rear wiper and a slightly jittery ride. (1 sourced review.)

Praised: Spacious, premium interior with clever functionality; Fast DC charging (Hyundai-claimed 10-80% in ~18 min); Single-motor RWD delivers longest range in lineup (303 mi).

Flagged: No rear windshield wiper on most trims; Slightly jittery ride, could use more plushness; RWD is not as quick or powerful as the dual-motor setup.

Lucid Air Grand Touring (2025)

Only one whitelisted outlet, InsideEVs, published prose on the exact 2025 Air Grand Touring, and it relays an Out of Spec Reviews 70-mph range test rather than its own instrumented run. It reports the 512-mile-rated sedan covering 510.4 miles at 70 mph before power cut. Whitelisted hands-on reviews covered the 2024 car, a different model year, and were excluded. (1 sourced review.)

Praised: Longest-range EV on sale; the 512-mile-rated GT covered ~510 miles at a steady 70 mph in the reported highway test; Real-world highway efficiency (4.4 mi/kWh) beat the EPA-derived 3.8 mi/kWh figure.
