The 2025 Lucid Air continues to push boundaries in the luxury electric sedan space. Lucid has refined its strengths: long range, elegant design, advanced tech, and luxury touches. If you’re shopping for a premium EV that offers more than just performance, the Air is a strong contender.
What’s New for 2025
- The Lucid Air Pure trim now uses an 84.0-kWh battery (slightly smaller than before) but manages to deliver 420 miles of EPA-estimated range, making it more efficient.
- A heat pump is now standard across all trims, helping with cold weather efficiency.
- Upgraded hardware in the infotainment and control systems: about three times the processing power and twice the memory compared to earlier models.
- The driver assistance system (Lucid’s DreamDrive suite) has been improved and more features are standard across trims.
Specifications & Performance
Here are some key specs and performance metrics for different trims:
| Trim | Range (EPA est.) | Drive Layout | Horsepower / Torque* | Acceleration (0-60 mph) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pure | ~420 miles | RWD | ~430 hp / ~406 lb-ft | ~4.5 seconds |
| Touring | ~406 miles | AWD | More power (≈ 620 hp in some modes) | Faster than the Pure in certain conditions |
| Grand Touring | ~512 miles | AWD | High output, premium spec | Even quicker, more capable overall |
| Sapphire | Ultra-high performance version | AWD | Over 1,200 hp in full performance mode | Very low-to-mid 2-second 0-60 times in launch mode |
*Figures approximate and depend on wheel / tire size, drive mode, weather, etc.
Efficiency is a strong point: the Pure achieves about 5.0 miles per kWh, earning around 146 MPGe under ideal conditions. The improvements (heat pump, system efficiency) help real-world range, especially in colder weather.
Pricing in the U.S.
