The entire family of 2024 Lucid Air versions is finally officially listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website, which allows us to summarize the result.
The 2024 model year brought changes to the Lucid Air lineup. The new entry-level Pure RWD version replaced the all-wheel drive version. At the top, the tri-motor Lucid Air Sapphire replaced the Grand Touring Performance, offering even quicker acceleration. In the middle are Lucid Air Touring and Lucid Air Grand Touring versions, with small changes to the driving range compared to the 2023 MY.

Lucid Air Specs Impresses
The 2024 Lucid Air has impressive specs. Its entry-level Pure version is the most efficient one (4.1 miles/kWh EPA). The middle one, Lucid Air Grand Touring, has over 500 miles of range, while the top Sapphire is super quick, with 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds (including rollout).
The Lucid Air Pure RWD, equipped with an 88-kilowatt-hour battery, has an EPA Combined range of 419 miles (394 miles when equipped with optional 20-inch wheels). The previous AWD version was rated at 410 miles and 384 miles, respectively, indicating that the rear-wheel drive version is a bit more efficient.
The Lucid Air Touring, with a 92-kWh battery, is AWD-only. Its EPA range is 411 miles, although it noticeably decreases if one selects bigger wheels—382 miles with 20-inch wheels and 365 miles with 21-inch wheels (down 46 miles or 11.1%).
The Lucid Air Grand Touring has an even bigger battery, although its capacity is undisclosed (probably around 118-120 kWh). This enables it to achieve 516 miles in the default configuration (19-inch wheels). No other EV on the market has an EPA Combined range of over 500 miles. Also, in this case, the bigger wheels cut the range noticeably to 485 miles with 20-inch wheels and 450 miles with 21-inch wheels (down 66 miles or 12.8%).
The top-of-the-line, performance-oriented Lucid Air Sapphire has an EPA range of 427 miles (slightly higher than the entry-level Lucid Air Pure).
The Lucid Air Pure RWD with 19-inch wheels' energy consumption, including charging losses, is estimated at 137 MPGe or about 246 watt-hours per mile (4.1 miles/kWh).
Only the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE RWD Long Range is better at 140 MPGe. However, the Lucid Air has a higher result in the Highway category (134 MPGe vs. 127 MPGe in the case of the Ioniq 6).
2024 Lucid Air Touring AWD with 19-inch wheels consumes about 3% more energy—133 MPGe: 253 Wh/mi or 3.9 miles/kWh. The 2024 Lucid Air Grand Touring AWD with 19-inch wheels is also relatively close at 129 MPGe: 261 Wh/mi or 3.8 miles/kWh. Bigger wheels can cut the result to 3.4-3.5 miles/kWh.
Meanwhile, the 2024 Lucid Air Sapphire is an electron guzzler among Lucid Air models. It gets only 105 MPGe, which is 321 Wh/mi or 3.1 miles/kWh.

Let's note that the highway MPGe ratings are slightly lower than the combined values. We estimate the EPA Highway range might be roughly 10-15 miles lower, which isn't much. However, this is only a rough estimate because the MPGe number includes charging losses (calculation using a simple proportion is incorrect).

Pricing
After the price cuts earlier this year, the Lucid Air starts at an MSRP of $69,900 (plus a $1,575 destination charge). The all-wheel drive Touring version costs $8,000 more, while the Grand Touring AWD with a noticeably bigger battery costs an additional $32,000 ($40,000 compared to the Pure). The Lucid Air Sapphire is a unique car with a price tag of a quarter million dollars.
None of the Lucid Air qualified for the $7,500 federal tax credit as even the base version is too expensive to fit under the $55,000 price cap.
