The Lucid Air’s real-world driving ranges vary by trim, typically differing somewhat from EPA estimates depending on driving conditions and wheel options:
- Lucid Air Pure: Real-world range is about 300 miles before needing a recharge. It offers an EPA estimated range around 406 miles, but in practical tests, it achieved about 300 miles of usable range. This trim delivers 430 horsepower and is the most efficient with about 146 MPGe combined.
<li><strong>Lucid Air Touring</strong>: The Touring trim has a real-world range closer to 280 miles, even though its EPA estimated range is about 406 miles. It produces 620 horsepower and comes with all-wheel drive. Its combined MPGe rating is about 133, with a real-world test showing 107 MPGe.</li>
<li><strong>Lucid Air Grand Touring</strong>: This trim holds the longest real-world tested range of the Lucid Air trims at around 410 miles, which is impressive and was noted as the longest range the tester has ever seen for an EV. Its EPA estimated range is even higher at 516 miles. It produces 800 horsepower with a 112 kWh battery pack and AWD. The combined MPGe is rated at 129, but real-world tests showed somewhat lower efficiency around 82 MPGe.</li>
<li><strong>Lucid Air Sapphire</strong>: The Sapphire trim is the least efficient with about 105 MPGe combined, though real-world MPGe data is less specific. Its real driving range is expected to be lower compared to other trims due to higher performance tuning and weight.</li>
Summary Table of Real-World Driving Range Estimates
| Trim | Real-World Range (miles) | EPA Estimated Range (miles) | Horsepower | MPGe (Combined) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pure | ~300 | ~406 | 430 | 146 |
| Touring | ~280 | ~406 | 620 | 133 |
| Grand Touring | ~410 | 516 | 800 | 129 |
| Sapphire | Not explicitly stated* | Not stated | High | 105 |
*The Sapphire’s real-world range is known to be the lowest among trims but specific mileage figures are not provided.
In brief, although EPA ratings provide a baseline, real-world driving range can be expected to be a bit lower especially on Touring and Pure trims, with the Grand Touring delivering the highest real-world range tested so far among Lucid Air trims, exceeding 400 miles comfortably under normal driving conditions.
