2025 Lucid Air: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2025 Lucid Air is a standard heat pump across the lineup, which helps efficiency in cold weather. This is not a redesign, but it is a meaningful update with quicker in-car computing, more standard driver-assist equipment, and a more efficient Pure trim.
About the 2025 Lucid Air
1st generation Air (2022-present), fourth model year; no redesign or exterior refresh for 2025.
Lucid positions the Air as a luxury electric sedan that combines exceptional range, strong performance, and a roomy, airy cabin in a sleek shape. The brand leans on its in-house EV technology, fast-charging capability, and big interior space as the main reasons to choose it. In practice, the Air’s identity is a long-distance luxury EV that still feels quick and driver-focused, spanning from efficiency-minded Pure to the extreme-performance Sapphire.
Pure is the efficiency-focused Air, pairing rear-wheel drive with up to 420 miles of EPA range and a wide 34-inch dashboard display. Touring balances 620 horsepower and all-wheel drive, while Grand Touring emphasizes long-distance luxury with 819 horsepower, up to 512 miles of range, and a 21-speaker audio system. Sapphire remains the performance flagship with 1,234 horsepower, track-focused suspension tuning, and carbon-ceramic brakes.
