As the Lucid Air enters its 5th model year, it remains the standard for efficiency and electric range. For 2026, the packages and features have shifted, making it easier than ever to get into a world-class luxury sedan. We've lined up the Pure, Touring, and Grand Touring to see exactly how they stack up.
For 2026, the Heat Pump is now standard across all trims, significantly improving cold-weather efficiency. Every model is built on a high-voltage 900V architecture (up to 924V), allowing for some of the fastest DC fast-charging speeds in the world.

The Tech Enthusiast: If you want the Glass Canopy roof and DreamDrive Pro (LiDAR) but don't need 800+ horsepower, the Touring is your best bet. It allows you to spec the luxury items you want without the GT's higher price tag.
The Best Value: If you want a fun, agile, and incredibly efficient luxury car, the Pure is unbeatable. At just under $60,000 after credits, it offers 420 miles of range—more than almost any flagship EV from Tesla, Mercedes, or BMW.
