Lucid claims its Air Pure electric sedan is the most efficient EV ever made
Lucid says its 2025 Air Pure electric sedan gets 5 miles per kilowatt hour — the most efficient car ever. It now has an 84 kWh battery and an EPA-estimated 420 miles of range.


The Air Pure is Lucid’s most affordable model starting at $69,900. For the new model year, the battery was slightly reduced in size from 88kWh to 84kWh. It also includes the new energy-saving and cold weather-fighting heat pump technology that was first included with the company’s $249,000 “Sapphire” model and later added to the Touring and Grand Touring models.
Lucid is taking a risk that luxury EV shoppers will care as much about abstract specs like efficiency and MPGe as they do about more dependable premium features like leather seats and expensive stereos. The Lucid Air Pure’s place at the top of the efficiency heap could also be short-lived as other luxury automakers like Mercedes-Benz are also developing their own hyper-efficient EVs. Concepts like the Vision EQXX have an efficiency of 8.4 miles per kWh.
For 2025, every model from the Air Pure to the Air Grand Touring will now have Lucid’s “DreamDrive Premium” Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), which comes with 3D surround view cameras and a blind spot display. There’s also a new-generation control unit with “triple” processing power and twice the memory of previous models, promising faster infotainment performance and responsiveness.
The latest Lucid Air lineup also includes the Grand Touring with 512 miles of range (down from 516) for $109,900 and the Touring with 406 miles of range (down from 410) for $77,900.
