What’s New for the 2025 Lucid Air
Lucid continues to refine the Air for 2025, with incremental range and efficiency improvements for the base model and a faster processor for the infotainment system. The EV also gets new safety features and a new complimentary maintenance plan as standard.
Design
Lucid’s sedan features a distinctive, sleek, and sophisticated design. Streamlined touches include flush door handles and slim LED headlights flowing into a silver accent that stretches across the front end. Opting for the $1,750 Stealth appearance package darkens the silver accents. Infinite Black and Stellar White are the only no-cost colors, but silver, blue, red, and gray are available for no extra charge—except on the Sapphire. That top trim is a different beast in many ways, and it’s offered only in a unique Sapphire Blue.
Pure and Touring trims of the 2025 Air come with 19-inch Aero Range wheels as standard. The Air Pure can upgrade to the Stealth version or to one of two 20-inch options, while 21-inch wheels are available with the Touring.
Powertrain
The 2025 Lucid Air Pure now comes with an 84-kWh battery, which bumps its range to a total of 420 miles. It has a single-motor, rear-wheel drive (RWD) powertrain, generating 430 horsepower.
The Touring trim has a second electric motor for all-wheel drive (AWD), 620hp, and a 406-mile range. The top two trims of the Lucid Air are both AWD and each exceptional in different ways. The two-motor, 819hp Grand Touring claims the longest-range title at 512 miles on a single charge. The three-motor Sapphire, meanwhile, is the most powerful electric sedan available, boasting 1,234hp and a 1.89-second 0-60-mph time. Its range is 427 miles.
The Air uses the Combined Charging System (CCS) charging standard and is capable of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 charging, while Lucid says the Air Pure can charge to 200 miles of range in as little as 17 minutes. The same additional range takes 16 minutes for the Touring, 12 for the Grand Touring, and 15 for the Sapphire, according to the manufacturer. The Air also supports vehicle-to-vehicle charging, meaning it can charge another EV.
Interior
The 2025 Air comes standard with tri-zone automatic climate control and PurLuxe synthetic leather seats, though genuine leather is available as an upgrade. The Air Sapphire gets leather and alcantara upholstery, heated and 12-way power-adjustable front seats are standard, and 14- or 20-way adjustment with ventilation is available. The Grand Touring trim level unlocks several additional standard features, such as four-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, and soft-close doors. The Lucid Air’s highly recognizable “glass canopy” is not standard, but it is available as an optional extra, even with the base trim level.
Technology
Every Lucid Air’s dash features a curved 34-inch panel known as the Glass Cockpit Display, which incorporates infotainment and driver information displays. Lower in the center console is a separate power-retractable 12.5-inch screen Lucid calls the Pilot Panel, with features such as climate control. Wireless charging and wireless Apple CarPlay are standard, and Lucid says wireless Android Auto is “coming soon” via an over-the-air (OTA) update. The Lucid Air Pure and Touring come with a nine-speaker Surreal Sound system or the option to upgrade to a 21-speaker Surreal Sound Pro Audio system with Dolby Atmos, which is standard starting at the Grand Touring trim level.
Safety
For 2025, Lucid’s DreamDrive Premium suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) replaces base DreamDrive as the Air’s standard offering. This includes rear pedestrian collision protection, a driver-monitoring system, blind-spot warning, front and rear cross-traffic protection, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and 3D surround-view monitoring. DreamDrive Pro is standard on the Sapphire and available as an upgrade on lower trims. This version is designed to be “future-capable,” and it adds curb rash alert, LiDAR, and a more sophisticated drive-assist system with active lane-centering, traffic jam assist, and curve speed control.
Pricing and Release Date
The 2025 Lucid Air Pure starts at $71,400 after the $1,500 destination fee. The Touring starts at $80,400 and the Grand Touring at $112,400. While each of those three can be made more expensive with additional options, there is just one price for the Lucid Air Sapphire: It comes fully equipped for $250,500. As of this model year, Lucid also includes two years or 24,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance with every Air.
