Compare the2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUVVS 2022 Lucid Motors Air

In the past twenty years hundreds of infants and young children have died after being left in vehicles, usually by accident. When turning the vehicle off, drivers of the Bolt EUV are reminded to check the back seat if they opened the rear door before starting out. The Air doesn’t offer a back seat reminder.

The Bolt EUV’s standard lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane and gently nudges the vehicle back towards its lane. A lane departure warning system costs extra on the Air.

The Bolt EUV has standard OnStar®, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to get turn-by-turn driving directions, remotely unlock your doors if you lock your keys in, help track down your vehicle if it’s stolen or send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. The Air doesn’t offer a GPS response system, only a navigation computer with no live response for emergencies, so if you’re involved in an accident and you’re incapacitated help may not come as quickly.

Both the Bolt EUV and the Air have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, available blind spot warning systems, around view monitors and rear cross-path warning.

There are over 145 times as many Chevrolet dealers as there are Lucid Motors dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Bolt EUV’s warranty.

The Bolt EUV stops shorter than the Air:

The Bolt EUV has a standard easy tire fill system. When inflating the tires, the vehicle’s integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The Air doesn’t offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.

Having a flat tire is dangerous, inconvenient and expensive. The self-sealing tires standard on the Bolt EUV can automatically seal most punctures up to 3/16 of an inch, effectively preventing most flat tires. The Air doesn’t offer self-sealing tires.

For better maneuverability, the Bolt EUV’s turning circle is 1 foot tighter than the Air’s (38.3 feet vs. 39.3 feet).

The Chevrolet Bolt EUV may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 1350 to 1550 pounds less than the Lucid Motors Air.

The Bolt EUV is 2 feet, 2.4 inches shorter than the Air, making the Bolt EUV easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The Bolt EUV is 6.6 inches narrower than the Air, making the Bolt EUV easier to handle and maneuver in traffic.

The Bolt EUV has .5 inches more front headroom, 2.8 inches more front legroom and 1.7 inches more rear legroom than the Air.

To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the Bolt EUV has a standard rear wiper. The Air doesn’t offer a rear wiper.

While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the Bolt EUV detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams. The Air doesn’t offer automatic dimming high beams.

The Bolt EUV’s power mirror controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The Air’s power mirror controls are embedded in the infotainment system, seriously distracting drivers who have to adjust them while driving.

On extremely cold winter days, the Bolt EUV’s optional heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the vehicle heater warms up. The Air doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.
