Which 2024 Lucid Air Sapphire Should I Buy?
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2024 Lucid Air Sapphire, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
2024 Lucid Air Sapphire (Tri-Motor AWD)
- Base Price: $249,000
- Range: 427 mi
- Battery Capacity: 118.0 kWh
- Peak Charge Rate: 300 kW
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 3 electric motors
- Horsepower: 1,234
- Torque: 1,430 lb-ft
- 0-60: 1.9 sec
- Weight: 5,335 lbs
- Length: 195.9 in
The Sapphire comes in just one wheel configuration — 20s up front, 21s out back — but the big deal here is obviously the combination of 1,234 horsepower and 427 miles of range, which is mind-blowing by the standards of 2024 EVs. Do you need the Sapphire when you could buy literally three Lucid Air Touring models for the same price? The answer, of course, is that you don't need any of these cars. But the Sapphire is an incredible engineering achievement, no doubt.
