Description:
For most electric cars on the road, a range of 300 miles or so, about the range of a tank of gas, is the goal. And anything over 300 hp is considered powerful. Even at that lowest starting price point, which purposefully undercuts the Tesla Model S, the Lucid Air’s entry-level Pure model outdoes the average range by more than 25%,with a range of 419 miles. And with 430 hp, its more powerful than most sedans and right in line with the base version of the BMW i7, which turns out 449 hp and a 321 mile range at a starting price of $105,700, a $36,000 difference.<br/><br/>The Lucid Air Touring edition takes power up to 620 hp but suffers a reduced range of 365 miles, due in part to the added power and in part to the dual motor AWD powertrain. The Touring edition starts at $80,025, though a less expensive model with a 411 mile range thanks to 19” wheels is available for $77,900.<br/><br/>The next trim up is the Grand Touring model, which delivers on both power, with 819 hp, and range, with 516 miles. It also comes in a dual motor AWD configuration but is also a significant uptick in price, at $107,725.<br/><br/>Buyers who want the top of the line could buy the Grand Touring Performance edition that delivered 1,050 hp and 446 miles of range in a dual motor AWD configuration and priced from from $161,500, but it ceased production with the 2023 model year; for 2024 buyers can order the exclusive Sapphire edition which features a 3-motor AWD powertrain that generates 1,234 HP and goes 427 miles at a price of $249,000. And of course, it comes in Sapphire blue metallic paint.<br/><br/>Read more on Forbes:<br/>https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottyreiss/2024/06/24/think-the-lucid-air-is-just-any-ev-dont-let-it-smooth-look-fool-you/<br/><br/>For more from Scotty Reiss:<br/>https://agirlsguidetocars.com/<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.
