A spread of small modifications at Lucid Motors and on the Environmental Safety Company have the impact of creating small modifications to the estimated ranges of the 2025 Air lineup. Lucid launched the 1,234-horsepower Sapphire with a warmth pump, then added the function to the penultimate Air Grand Touring in 2024. For 2025, the California EV firm makes the pump commonplace tools on the remaining Touring and Pure trims. The pump makes essentially the most distinction within the entry-level Air Pure. Regardless of the EPA check Lucid known as out for being more difficult now, and regardless of a smaller 84-kWh battery, the Pure goes additional on a cost. The 2025 Air Pure is rated at 420 miles on a cost — one mile higher than the 2024 Air Pure. That is 5 miles for each kilowatt-hour of pack capability, up from 4.76 mi/kWh on the 2024 Air Pure, leading to a report 146 MPGe.
The pump would not ship the identical outcomes elsewhere. No matter’s modified about EPA testing drops vary for the Air Touring from 411 miles to 406 miles, whereas the Grand Touring’s vary shrinks by 4 miles to 512 miles. The shock right here is that Lucid first talked about a more durable EPA regime in April when the carmaker introduced upgrades to the 2024 Grand Touring, across the similar time we spent an overcast California day driving each 2024 Air variant. At the moment, Lucid mentioned the Grand Touring retained its 516-mile vary. We’ll guess the automaker performed a bit extra testing since then to refine the figures; the gas economic system comparability website on the U.S. Division of Power would not checklist the 2025 Air vary but. And notice that each one official vary estimates are achieved on 19-inch wheels, aside from the Sapphire that solely comes on 20-inchers.
Pricing for the 2025 lineup after the $1,500 vacation spot cost and $75 documentation payment, and the modifications from 2024, are:
Pure: $71,475 (No change)
Touring: $80,475 ($1,000)
Grand Touring: $112,475 ($1,000)
Sapphire: $250,575 (No change)
Each 2025 Air will come commonplace with Lucid’s DreamDrive superior driver help methods, which features a surround-view digital camera system and stay blind-sport show. There’s additionally up to date {hardware} for the infotainment system, a well-liked improve amongst EV makers of late, tripling the processing energy and doubling the reminiscence to offer a extra responsive expertise.
Within the Grand Touring, occupants will take pleasure in SurrealSound Professional audio, previously a $4,000 choice. That is on high of the updates from April, being enhancements to the electrical motor design, battery cell chemistry, and thermal traits that permit for max efficiency for longer durations of “spirited driving,” plus as much as 30% sooner charging because of improved pre-conditioning.
