2025 Lucid Air Vary And Pricing Overview

The 2025 Lucid Air is coming into the market as the world’s best automotive with a file power consumption score. In right now’s put up, we are going to have a look at the modifications associated to the driving vary, effectivity, costs and gear.

To start with, the 2025 Lucid Air lineup within the U.S. consists of 4 variations: the entry-level, rear-wheel drive Lucid Air Pure, all-wheel drive Lucid Air Touring, the Lucid Air Grand Touring with a variety of as much as 512 miles and the performance-oriented tri-motor Lucid Air Sapphire.

The driving vary of the Lucid Air varies from 361 to 512 miles, in comparison with 365 to 516 miles within the 2024 mannequin 12 months. We are able to rapidly observe that the lineup misplaced a couple of miles of vary on each ends of the bracket. The producer mentions “more-stringent vary testing laws,” so perhaps that is the rationale.

Lucid Air Pure: 5.0 miles per kWh

Essentially the most attention-grabbing enhancements concern the entry-level Lucid Air Pure. The 2025MY is provided with a smaller 84-kilowatt-hour battery (4 kWh or 4.5% much less capability than the 88 kWh unit used beforehand). Regardless of that, the EPA-estimated driving vary of the bottom model with 19-inch wheels elevated by one mile to 420 miles, in keeping with Lucid.

Bettering the vary with a decrease capability battery was potential by rising on-road effectivity to five.0 miles per kWh (200 watt-hours). This can be a spectacular achievement that prompted Lucid to even spotlight a comparability with different vehicles:

Lucid Air Pure: 5.0 miles per kWh (supply: Lucid)

Let’s observe that on-road effectivity doesn’t embody charging losses. When together with charging losses, the EPA power consumption is estimated at 146 MPGe, which is 231 Wh/mile or 4.3 miles/kWh. This can be a file for EVs (and vehicles usually), beating the earlier 142 MPGe (discontinued mannequin, barely completely different EPA laws).

The 2024 Lucid Air Pure with 19-inch wheels was rated at 137 MPGe: 246 Wh/mi or 4.1 miles/kWh, so the corporate achieved a noticeable enchancment (6.1%) and set a brand new file total.

Having the 2 numbers instantly from the producer—200 Wh/mile of on-road effectivity and roughly 231 Wh/mile of plug-to-road effectivity—signifies an extra power utilization of roughly 15% (principally charging losses plus auxiliary masses, we imagine).

An attention-grabbing discovering is that the identical Lucid Air Pure, however with non-compulsory 20-inch wheels, has an EPA-estimated vary of 371 miles—in keeping with Lucid—22 miles or 5.6% lower than within the 2024 mannequin 12 months (394 miles). Its power consumption is 129 MPGe (in comparison with 130 MPGe beforehand). We keep in mind that the battery has a 4.5% decrease capability of 84 kWh, however why did the effectivity of the 20-inch model lower whereas the 19-inch model famous a serious increase of about six %? We do not know all the pieces, and there have to be one thing extra to the story.

2025 Lucid Air Grand Touring

Lucid Air Touring, Grand Touring and Sapphire

Within the case of the opposite three Lucid Air variations, we do not see modifications in battery capability. The Touring has a 92-kWh battery, the Grand Touring has a 117-kWh battery, and the Sapphire has a 118-kWh battery.

Within the case of Sapphire, its EPA-estimated vary stays the identical at 427 miles, similar to the power consumption of 105 MPGe (that is the least environment friendly Lucid).

Nevertheless, the Touring and Grand Touring variations famous a slight decline in power consumption (by 1-2 MPGe); thus, their EPA-estimated vary decreased by a couple of miles. The Touring with 19-inch wheels is rated at 406 miles (in comparison with 411 miles beforehand), whereas the Grand Touring with 19-inch wheels is rated at 512 miles (in comparison with 516 miles beforehand). That is nonetheless the very best outcome available on the market, however not all Lucids are getting an effectivity increase. Solely the Pure, with 19-inch wheels, bought it.

Here’s a comparability of the 2025 and 2024 mannequin 12 months Lucid Air EPA vary, in keeping with Lucid:

Within the 2025 mannequin 12 months, all Lucid Air vehicles embody an energy-saving warmth pump to assist preserve excessive vary in chilly climate situations. Initially, it was out there solely on the Sapphire and in a while the Air Grand Touring (2024).

The corporate explains that one other enchancment in the usual gear is a new-generation management {hardware} with triple the processing energy and twice the reminiscence for a considerably enhanced and sooner in-car infotainment expertise.

We do not see any modifications to the powertrain concerning energy, torque and 0-60 mph acceleration time.

* EPA vary in keeping with the producer; 0-60 mph acceleration time may embody a 1 ft rollout.

Pricing

Costs of the Lucid Air stay principally the identical for the 2025 mannequin 12 months. The Lucid Air Pure nonetheless begins at an MSRP of $69,900 (plus $1,575 in compulsory charges), whereas the Lucid Air Sapphire nonetheless begins at an MSRP of $249,000.

The one modifications concern the Lucid Air Touring and Lucid Air Grand Touring, each of which are actually $1,000 costlier than beforehand.

Not one of the Lucid Air vehicles are certified for the $7,500 federal tax credit score as a result of they exceed the $55,000 value cap for vehicles.

* Lucid provides a Vacation spot payment (DST) of $1,500 and a Documentation payment of $75 to all its fashions ($1,575 whole).
