I’ve already driven the Lucid Air Pure, but it was only for a single day. This time around, I got to spend a full week putting one of the most efficient EVs on the market to the test — to see if it can indeed reach Lucid’s efficiency claim of 5 mi/kWh. That's an ambitious mark, but it’s not out of reach given that the best efficiency I got to date was 4 mi/kWh with the 2024 Lexus RZ 450e Premium.
Beyond efficiency, however, the Lucid Air Pure has a challenging road ahead in trying to convince people to buy it over other, much cheaper EVs on the market. It’s classified as a luxury EV, but the entry price you’ll need to shell out is $69,900. That’s a lot, but not unobtainable with today’s crop of luxury EVs.
