There is still plenty to speculate about the Air Pure, but Lucid Motors has released core performance and design details as well as its base price. The Lucid Air Pure comes with a similar price tag to the Model S, starting at $69,900 (after U.S. federal tax credit), making it more suitable for those with a restrictive budget.
This electric sedan will follow the release of more robust builds like the Lucid Dream in 2021, which features 1080hp and a range of 500 miles. The Touring and Grand Touring are also set for release in 2021. The Air Pure is a less powerful and cheaper alternative. However, it is still a pretty absorbing option with a significantly lower price-tag than the rest of the Lucid family.
Lucid recently completed the initial construction phase of their Arizona factory. The EV automaker is now in the process of commissioning manufacturing equipment. Lucid intends to begin with the production of 30,000 units annually. However, they aim to expand their manufacturing capacity to 400,000 vehicles a year in due course.
Customers can reserve the Lucid Air Pure for only $300 today. Lucid Motors currently lists 19 countries worldwide for delivery, including Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom. You can create your design via the manufacturer's website, although you will have to wait until early 2022 to receive your order.
Now it's time to take a closer at this upcoming Lucid Air EV. We will explore the specs, design configuration options, materials, and exterior design of the Lucid Air Pure, in the following breakdown.
Light Performance With Slick Design
The Air Pure has 480hp and will offer 406 miles of range from a single charge. While this may not be as impressive as the Grand Touring with its range of 517 miles, it's still significantly more than what you'd get with most EVs as the range of an average electric car is closer to 200 miles. The Air Pure comes with rear-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is also available.
As for its exterior design, the Lucid configurator lets you choose from five colors, namely, stellar white, infinite black, cosmos silver, zenith red, and quantum grey. Infinite black is described by Lucid Motors as a rich tone that "glitters with metallic just below its surface," while its stellar white edition takes inspiration from "bright summer sun shimmering on ocean waves." Cosmos silver matches that of modern metallic paint, quantum grey is taken from a rich grey palette, and nature acts as the inspiration for the deep red of zenith red, which comes with a "tinted clear coat for a silky surface finish."
The Pure variant of Lucid Air has a platinum appearance. It features a metallic roof and 19-inch aero range gloss jet black-painted wheels with an enhanced machine finish. Alternatively, you could purchase the Air Pure with 20-inch aero lite wheels. These are also gloss painted, although instead, they feature gloss jet black inserts. Inside, you get a PurLuxe interior trim. You can also pay extra for premium quality, customized all-weather floor mats for the rear and front seats. The vehicle has a length of 4.97m, a width of 1.95m, and a height of 1.41m. The modernity of an EV like the Air Pure does not end with its energy source, however. That's because, with the Lucid mobile app, you'll be able to pinpoint the closest Electrify America charging station to you at any one time. U.S. customers can also enjoy three years of free Electrify America charging if they order the Air Pure by New Year's Eve, 2021.
Alternatively, you could benefit from the full bi-directionality capabilities of the Lucid Motors Wunderbox charging system for advanced vehicle to everything charging. You could charge at home with the Lucid Motors Wunderbox, which will also offer the future enablement of vehicle to vehicle charging. The Wunderbox will even provide vehicle to grid charging. Lucid Motors is currently in the process of fully developing a modern, advanced energy storage system for the home. According to Lucid, the Wunderbox will add 300 miles of range in just 20 minutes.
Competition & Pricing
The Lucid Air Pure starts at $77,400, but after U.S. federal tax credit, you'll only pay $69,900. This is comparable to Tesla's Model S, a clear competitor of the Lucid Air range, which comes with a cost of around $85,000 pre-tax credit. The Model S is a 503hp vehicle with a range of 200-400 miles, depending on the variant you choose. So the Model S wins out for power but loses on range. Compared with the EV market at large, the Air Pure is a relatively expensive vehicle, despite being substantially cheaper than the rest of the Lucid Air family.
Many luxury electric vehicles have a similar price to the Air Pure, with the MSRP of the Jaguar I-Pace being around $70,000 to $80,000 and that of the Audi E-Tron ending up about $75,000 to $82,000. Many of the highest-rated EVs on the market have an MSRP of around $35-50K, including the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Kona Electric. Lucid Motors are set to actively compete with carmakers like Tesla and Porsche in the coming years. While the Lucid Dream will lead the charge, the Air Pure will benefit from being a more competitive price option.
The Lucid Air Pure is a case of you get what you pay for. While lacking the power of its sibling vehicles, the Air Pure is a neat electric sedan with a reasonable cost. Plus, the variation offered by the Lucid Motors configurator is an attractive addition to the vehicle's 70K price tag. This Lucid Air electric car may not be the cheapest option on the EV market, but if you are keen on purchasing a Lucid Air vehicle, then the Air Pure represents the best bang for your buck!
