The 2025 Lucid Air is coming into the market as the world’s best automobile with a report vitality consumption ranking. In right this moment’s put up, we are going to have a look at the adjustments 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 spread of as much as 512 miles and the performance-oriented tri-motor Lucid Air Sapphire.

Lucid Air Pure: 5.0 miles per kWh

Probably the most fascinating enhancements concern the entry-level Lucid Air Pure. The 2025MY is supplied 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 accordance with Lucid.

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

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

Let’s be aware that on-road effectivity doesn’t embrace charging losses. When together with charging losses, the EPA vitality consumption is estimated at 146 MPGe, which is 231 Wh/mile or 4.3 miles/kWh. It is a report for EVs (and automobiles generally), beating the earlier 142 MPGe (discontinued mannequin, barely totally different EPA rules).

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 report general.

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

An fascinating discovering is that the identical Lucid Air Pure, however with elective 20-inch wheels, has an EPA-estimated vary of 371 miles—in accordance with Lucid—22 miles or 5.6% lower than within the 2024 mannequin 12 months (394 miles). Its vitality 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 significant enhance of about six p.c? We do not know all the pieces, and there have to be one thing extra to the story.

Lucid Air Touring, Grand Touring and Sapphire

Within the case of the opposite three Lucid Air variations, we do not see adjustments 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 vitality consumption of 105 MPGe (that is the least environment friendly Lucid).

Nonetheless, the Touring and Grand Touring variations famous a slight decline in vitality 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).

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

Within the 2025 mannequin 12 months, all Lucid Air automobiles embrace an energy-saving warmth pump to assist keep excessive vary in chilly climate situations. Initially, it was obtainable solely on the Sapphire and afterward 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.
