Nice-handling SUV. Steers much more sharply than my previous SUV, a Lynk & Co 01. Has almost the same options as the Lynk. I wanted fully electric, though. The Marvel has a realistic range. So far it has never shown the WLTP figure of 402. But whatever it shows, it achieves. And I've experienced that very differently before (Lynk & Co 01 and Mazda MX-30). In short, a very good, comfortable EV. Downsides: abrupt steering corrections and annoying warning beeps. These can be switched off, but you have to do it every time. It's also a shame that the otherwise great navigation has no Dutch voice.

The review contains an error: the price of the Lucid Air being evaluated corresponds to a version that accelerates from 0–100 km/h in around 4.7 seconds, which is slower than the MG Cyberster. The sub-2-second acceleration figures refer to the Lucid Air Sapphire, which is the most expensive version with a much higher price.
