What's New for 2025?
The Air is largely unchanged this year, but it does get standard blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and surround-view camera functionality on all models. As technical footnote, the entry-level Pure model gets a slightly smaller battery pack, but its EPA range estimate increases by a single mile to 420. The Touring and Grand Touring, meanwhile, lose an inconsequential five and four miles, respectively, from their top range estimates. Lucid has also introduced free scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.

FAST FACTS
"The Air delivers stunning range (up to 512 miles) and acceleration (0-60 in as few as 1.9 seconds) in a midsize package that boasts huge rear legroom. The numbers are cartoonishly awesome compared to what BMW, Mercedes and the like are throwing out there right now. But this is hardly just a numbers car; it drives great, too, with confident handling and a supple ride. That's true even of the base Pure model, and the capabilities just get nuttier from there. Our primary complaint about the Air is that its styling isn't nearly as dynamic as its performance. It would surely be more of a star in the sales reports if its looks weren't so forgettable."—Ranked #1 out of 7 Midsize Luxury Electric Cars
