The 2025 Lucid Air offers outstanding acceleration and handling along with the potential for more than 500 miles of range on a single charge. A comfortable and spacious interior, excellent cargo space and solid in-car tech round out the package. It's not perfect, but Lucid's big sedan is nonetheless a compelling pick for an electric luxury sedan.Read full review

Overview

The 2025 Air is an all-electric luxury sedan from Lucid, a California-based all-electric automaker that launched just a few years ago. At the start, we found the Air lacked the technology and build-quality refinement we expect from a luxury sedan. Fortunately, Lucid has since improved the car by lowering the price, adding features, updating the tech and increasing performance. We've noticed build quality has improved as production has increased as well. For 2025, Lucid further enhances the Air by adding: a few more standard features to all trims; an updated infotainment system hardware for quicker response times; and an efficiency-boosting heat pump for the Pure and Touring versions that previously only came on the Grand Touring and Sapphire.

Edmunds spotlight: Alleviate range anxiety

When it comes to all-electric range, no one does it better than Lucid. Be it EPA estimates or Edmunds' own real-world testing, the Air reigns supreme. No EV has gone farther on a single charge in our hands than a Lucid Air, with one test vehicle eclipsing 500 miles of range. Even the base Air Pure trim has EPA estimates exceeding 400 miles. Though it should be noted that the Air hasn't hit its EPA estimates in Edmunds' testing, it consistently outperforms similar rivals in both range and efficiency.

Competitors to consider

The Lucid Air has plenty of compelling competition as nearly every luxury automaker offers an electric sedan. The Tesla Model S was the first electric luxury sedan on the market but is increasingly a bit stale compared to the Air. The BMW i7 and Mercedes-Benz EQS offer more premium interiors with better in-car tech, though neither offers the Lucid's range or performance. You might also want to check out the Porsche Taycan if you're seeking the most engaging driving experience of the bunch. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below to help you decide if the Air is best for you.

What’s it like to live with?

Edmunds purchased a 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring for our long-term road test fleet not long after the car debuted. The Air has changed since launch — improved build quality and a lower base price are the most notable changes — but many of our fundamental impressions still apply. Check out our long-term road test to learn more about our real-world experiences with the Air's range, comfort, tech and more.

8.4

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

9/10

How does the Air drive? The Lucid Air is one of the quickest vehicles we've ever tested. At the Edmunds test track, the base Pure trim hit 60 mph in a scant 4.6 seconds. Higher-spec trims have no trouble hitting that same speed in around 3 seconds. Still not good enough for you? How about 2.2 seconds to 60 mph for the Lucid Air Sapphire? Despite the copious amounts of power, the Air is smooth and relaxed to drive on the street.

But it's not just straight-line performance. Unlike some rivals, the Air performs well in braking and handling tests, with short panic stops and lively, engaging handling. The steering is quick, helping on winding roads and in tight parking lots. The Air's regenerative braking is strong and adjustable, and it will bring you to a full stop in traffic when you lift off the accelerator.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Air? The Air's ride quality is fitting of a luxury car, though it's not the most plush vehicle in its class. The ride is compliant and smooth, especially on the highway, but some rival sedans do a better job of smoothing out smaller bumps and imperfections on city streets. Likewise, the seats are comfortable and offer lots of adjustment, but they aren't quite as supportive as they could be.

The automatic climate control system works well, and we like that the Air uses physical controls for the fan speed and temperature adjustment. The vents are manually adjustable too. The fans blow strong but can be loud at full blast.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The Air's interior is spacious, with lots of headroom, legroom and shoulder room in both rows. Rear passengers, in particular, should be happy with the amount of space for their legs and feet. The driving position is a bit higher than we'd prefer, but the seats and steering wheel offer lots of adjustment. The big doors make getting in and out easy too, though the low ride height might be an issue for some.

Like most luxury EVs, the Air relies heavily on touchscreen controls. While we prefer physical controls over all else, the Air does touchscreens better than most. There are multiple screens that show separate information, so you don't have to flip back and forth through many menus just to adjust simple settings. Everything is easy to see and reach. Visibility is generally good thanks to large windows and lots of cameras. The resolution isn't amazing, but there are plenty of available angles.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? When it launched, the Air's tech was one of the biggest things holding it back. Things have changed thanks to constant updates and improvements to the infotainment system and driver aids. The interface itself has improved, too, with quicker response times than before and no glitches during our test. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and the Air offers USB-C charging in both rows.

One neat trick is the Air's ability to charge other EVs. Using a special cable that Lucid sells separately, you can use the Air's massive battery to charge other EVs. It's quicker than Level 2 charging, and we used the feature during our Edmunds U-Drags video shoots.

The Air's advanced driver aids work pretty well. The adaptive cruise control maintains a steady speed and keeps a proper distance from the vehicle ahead. We had far fewer phantom braking incidents or other false prompts than in prior year tests.

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? You can tell Lucid's engineers spent a lot of time thinking about how to best use the available space. The Air offers 26.1 cubic feet of total cargo space that's split between a 16.2-cubic-foot rear trunk and a 9.9-cubic-foot front trunk (the frunk). The frunk is larger than those in the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan.

While the Air is not a hatchback like the Model S or Mercedes-Benz EQS, the trunk is plenty big. The trunk isn't very tall, but it is deep with an opening that's essentially the entire width of the car. The load-in height is also quite low with no liftover to contend with, another plus. Interior storage, too, is impressive thanks to sizable door pockets and a clever center console. There's even a hidden storage bin behind the power-retractable lower center screen.

The wide-opening doors and spacious rear cabin make it easier to get car seats in and out of the Lucid than rivals. Rear-facing child safety seats of any size should fit, even with taller front occupants. The anchors are easily accessible too.

Range and Efficiency

9.5/10

How are the range and efficiency? We've had the opportunity to put the Lucid Air through the real-world Edmunds EV Range Test, and there's been one consistent thread. In every test, the Air fell short of its lofty EPA estimates while still outperforming its rivals. So while the Air hasn't hit its target, it offers more electric range than anything else. An Air Pure with 20-inch wheels drove 349 miles on a single charge. We regularly see more than 400 miles out of a single charge in our long-term Air Grand Touring, and an Air Dream Range Edition eclipsed 500 miles on a single charge. Consumption figures range from 23 to 30 kWh/100 miles, making the Air one of the most efficient EVs on the road today.

Value

8/10

Is the Air a good value? Prices on the Air have come down significantly since the car debuted. Overall, pricing for the Air is competitive for a luxury EV. The best value comes from the less expensive versions, such as the Pure. You get excellent all-electric range and lots of in-car tech. Lucid includes a four-year/50,000-mile basic and an eight-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty as well as four years/50,000 miles of roadside assistance. Build quality is decent. The Air's cabin is not as premium-feeling or as well assembled as cars from more established automakers, but it's no longer a glaring flaw.

Wildcard

9/10

The Air Sapphire is a wild machine. Just go watch some of our U-Drags videos. It's obscenely, stomach-churningly quick, but it backs up the acceleration with solid braking and handling. Non-Sapphire models aren't quite as capable, but it's still a fun car to drive, even on city streets.

The Lucid's design hasn't aged either. While it's not easy to make a car both handsome and aerodynamic (looking at you, Mercedes), Lucid managed to pull it off. Even the base model looks impressive both inside and out.

Which Air does Edmunds recommend?

The base Air Pure is the one to get. It's comfortable and smooth on the street, and it offers a decent array of standard features and more electric range than anything else at this price. If you really want to get the most range possible, opt for the smaller wheels. The larger the wheel, the lower the range. We think ride quality is a little smoother with smaller wheels too.
