Lucid Air Sedan Gets A Big Price Cut, But It’s Still Pretty Expensive

The Air is the first line of EVs from Lucid Motors, which was founded in 2007. The Air Pure is a single-motor, rear-wheel drive sedan, though an optional dual-motor, all-wheel drive model is available. The Pure is capable of 480 horsepower and can go 0–60mph in 3.8 seconds. Lucid claims that its battery can be quick-charged in 15 minutes to enough capacity for 200 miles, while the estimated range of its fully-charged battery is 410 miles.

The Air Touring and Grand Touring are both dual-motor AWDs, though the Grand Touring packs a lot more punch under its hood. The Touring generates 620 horsepower and can go 0–60mph in 3.4 seconds. The Grand Touring is more competitive with the 2023 Tesla Model S, capable of 1,050 hp and able to go 0–60 mph in three seconds flat. The Grand Touring also has the most range of the Air models, able to last 516 miles, while the Touring is limited to 425 miles. Like the Pure, the Touring can charge to 200 miles in 15 minutes, while the Grand Touring can do the same in 12 minutes.

Lucid is currently only producing sedans, but if you’re looking for an electric SUV, the company plans to debut the Gravity in 2024. Not much is known about the Lucid Gravity, but it’s expected to have a very impressive range, flexible seating, sizable cargo space, optional towing capability, and a “next-generation glass cockpit.” For now, though, only the Lucid Air models are available, and if you want to take advantage of Lucid’s Pure Summer Event, you’ll need to buy one before September.
