Lucid Air

Lucid’s electric luxury sedan is more affordable than ever. With Lucid Air demo cars now available to buy, you can snag one for under $57,000. That’s down over $20,000 from when the Air hit the market.

Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency. It’s the most important performance spec to consider when comparing EVs, and Lucid Motors is the global leader. After recently sharing that its flagship Air sedan has earned the title of the most efficient production car in the world, Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson shared some data that explains just how far ahead the American automaker is and how long it might take its competitors like Tesla to catch up.

Lucid Motors shared details of a 2025 update to its Air Pure sedan today, which has achieved a landmark 5 miles of range per kWh of energy efficiency.

FINALLY YA’LL! Nearly two years after its initial announcement, we drove the 1,234 horsepower Lucid Air Sapphire in all its tri-motor glory. Spoiler alert! It did not disappoint. This EV is a masterclass in power and efficiency, setting the bar for a new breed of vehicles that are as fast as they are luxurious. Peep the full video review at the bottom.

New details on the longest-range electric car in the US, the Lucid Air Grand Touring, have been revealed. Lucid’s new 2024 Air Grand Touring gains faster charging, a heat pump, and 516 miles range (in more conditions). And you get all that for a 12% discount compared to last year’s model.

This morning, Lucid Motors shared details of its 2024 model year Air sedans, which are available for sale starting today.

Relatively young EV automaker Lucid Motors has announced a new referral program for current and incoming owners of its flagship Air sedan. The American automaker is still looking to find a larger audience in the growing EV segment and hopes to incentivize buyers with some tiered perks.

Today’s latest trim closes out the lineup of Lucid’s flagship EV, now offering a variety of trims from the RWD pure, the the tri-motor Sapphire.
