Lucid Air Pure Named to Car and Driver’s 10Best List in its First Year of Eligibility, as the Newly-Configured Lucid Air Touring Debuts for Immediate Ordering

"It is incredibly rewarding to see the Lucid Air Pure honored on the Car and Driver 10Best List," said Andrea Soriani, Vice President of Marketing at Lucid. "As our most accessible Air model, this win underscores Lucid's commitment to designing and engineering cars that provide unparalleled driving pleasure."

The Lucid Air Pure RWD recently completed the rollout of the Air model lineup, offering exceptional driving range of up to an EPA-estimated 419 miles,** elegant design, and outstanding driver engagement, all at a starting price of $77,400.* Lucid's game-changing proprietary EV technology means the Air Pure comes with the freedom to drive longer distances with confidence, and to spend less time charging, adding up to 150 miles in less than 12 minutes with DC fast charging.***

"The closer you look, the more you realize that every square millimeter of this car has been considered and optimized. The density of thought is off the charts" said Tony Quiroga, Editor-in-Chief of Car and Driver. "The Lucid Air Pure is a base model whose driving range, performance, space, and price put it in a sweet spot, one that makes you feel like you're holding a golden ticket instead of a coupon," said Austin Irwin, Technical Editor of Car and Driver.

Full coverage of the Car and Driver 10Best list can be found in the January issue, available everywhere by December 26, and online at CarandDriver.com here.

Concurrently, the newly-configured Lucid Air Touring is now available for advance ordering, with the base model being $85,900, featuring a new level of customer choice and flexibility for customers to create their own luxury experience. For example, the much-desired 20-way, heated and ventilated massaging front seats are now orderable on the Air Touring, as well as the popular Fathom Blue exterior color and PurLuxe leather alternative. The Lucid Air Pure RWD and the newly-configured Lucid Air Touring are available for ordering now from the Lucid Motors website and the Design Yours configurator, or from Lucid's growing network of North American sales studios.

And, as always, the quickest way to get a well-equipped Lucid Air, is to browse our available cars. With Air Credits of up to $10,000 on 2023 models available, the Lucid Air experience is more attainable than ever.
