The Lucid Air starts with the Pure, the efficiency-first rear-wheel-drive model. Touring is the balanced all-wheel-drive step-up, while Grand Touring is the long-range luxury version with richer comfort. Dream Edition Range and Dream Edition Performance are fully equipped launch cars focused on distance or acceleration. Grand Touring Performance adds much stronger performance without losing the Air’s luxury road-trip character, while Sapphire is the track-focused, triple-motor flagship.
The Base Model trim level, called Pure, is the efficiency-first Air with a lighter, simpler setup and the lineup’s core comfort, cabin tech, and safety features.
Best for: Drivers who value range and efficiency more than all-wheel drive or maximum acceleration.
Highlights
The Mid-Level trim level, called Touring, is the balanced Air, combining all-wheel drive and stronger acceleration with useful range and everyday practicality.
Best for: Drivers who want more performance and all-weather traction without moving into the luxury-focused upper trims.

Early Airs included limited Dream Editions and the short-lived Grand Touring Performance. In recent years, the main lineup has settled into Pure, Touring, Grand Touring, and Sapphire, moving from an efficiency-focused entry model to the performance flagship.
Pure is the efficiency-focused entry trim. On newer models, it uses a 430-hp single motor with rear-wheel drive and emphasizes a lighter setup, long range, heated front seats, large cabin screens, and a broad driver-assistance suite.
On newer Airs, Touring adds dual-motor all-wheel drive and raises output from 430 to 620 hp. It keeps the model’s long-range focus while delivering much stronger acceleration, making it the balanced middle trim.
In the recent lineup, Grand Touring adds more power, longer maximum range, faster charging, and richer comfort equipment. Its 20-way front seats include heat, ventilation, massage, memory, and adjustable side support, while rear passengers gain power sunshades.
Grand Touring prioritizes maximum range and executive-sedan comfort. Sapphire shifts the focus to performance with three motors, 1,234 hp, handling that directs power between the rear wheels, a firmer track-tuned suspension, carbon-ceramic brakes, and sport seats.
Grand Touring is the range-focused choice in the recent lineup, with an EPA estimate of up to 512 miles. Pure and Touring still emphasize long-distance efficiency, while Sapphire trades some range for much more performance.
Touring is the straightforward fit. In recent years, it combines dual-motor all-wheel drive, 620 hp, long range, fast charging, and the Air’s main cabin technology without moving into the richer Grand Touring or track-focused Sapphire tiers.
Pure is the clearest fit. On newer models, it uses rear-wheel drive, 430 hp, and a lighter setup aimed at efficiency and usable range while retaining the large screens, heated front seats, smartphone integration, and driver aids.
No. Sapphire adds serious track hardware, but it remains a roomy luxury sedan. It keeps four doors, everyday passenger space, a 427-mile EPA range estimate, and heated, ventilated, massaging front seats with extra support for hard cornering.
Grand Touring Performance was a 2022–2023 high-output model with 1,050 hp and all-wheel drive. It combined near-Sapphire power with a luxury-road-trip focus, including a glass roof, premium audio, massaging front seats, and an advanced driver-assistance system.
Grand Touring Performance is the earlier 1,050-hp luxury-performance trim. Sapphire goes further with 1,234 hp from three motors, power directed independently between the rear wheels, track-tuned suspension, carbon-ceramic brakes, and dedicated performance modes.
Dream Edition Range used a 933-hp tune aimed at maximum driving distance. Dream Edition Performance raised output to 1,111 hp for harder acceleration. Both were early limited-run, all-wheel-drive showcase models with a 118-kWh battery and fully equipped cabins.
The early Dream Editions paired a fixed glass roof with a 21-speaker audio system, DreamDrive driver aids, full-grain Nappa leather and Alcantara upholstery, and edition-specific trim. Both used dual-motor all-wheel drive and a 118-kWh battery.
