Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2026 Lucid Air
1st generation (introduced for 2022), fifth model year; no redesign or mid-cycle exterior overhaul for 2026.
Lucid positions the Air as a long-range luxury electric sedan that pairs standout range and charging speed with a roomy, airy cabin and strong performance. The core pitch is not just quick acceleration, but the ability to go much farther on a charge than most rivals without giving up comfort, storage space, or premium design. Across the lineup, the Air is sold as an elegant road-trip EV with big-screen cabin tech, generous interior room, and efficiency as a defining strength.
The Air lineup spans the efficiency-focused Pure and the balanced all-wheel-drive Touring, both built around a 34-inch display and retractable lower touchscreen. Grand Touring is the long-distance luxury centerpiece, pairing 512 miles of range with newly standard ventilated and massaging front seats. Sapphire remains the performance flagship with three motors, 1,234 horsepower, and track-tuned hardware.
