Luxury EV manufacturer Lucid Group, Inc. announced on July 16 that its 2025 MY Lucid Air Pure gets 5 miles per kilowatt hour of energy and recorded a 146 MPGe (miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent) EPA rating, signaling another key milestone in the journey toward for fleet electrification.

The heat pump first employed on Lucid Sapphire now becomes standard across the lineup, improving real-world range, while a powerful new infotainment processor provides improved user experience.

"The advancements introduced across the Lucid Air lineup for 2025 further cement our leadership position," said Peter Rawlinson, CEO and CTO of Lucid, in a news release. "They enable Air Pure to use less electrical energy than any other vehicle for any journey taken, A to B.”

Record-Breaking Energy Efficiency

Lucid claims the 2025 Lucid Air Pure equates to the most energy-efficient vehicle ever, the first to achieve 5 miles of range per kilowatt hour of energy. The sedan has an EPA-estimated range of 420 miles from an 84 kWh battery pack.

This means that the new Lucid Air Pure requires less electrical energy for any journey taken, A to B, than any other vehicle on the market today. Consuming less energy to travel further enables electric vehicles to deliver the range that consumers expect while reducing the size of costly battery packs.

Reducing battery pack size also enables building more cars from a given quantity of raw materials. When recharging, the smaller pack in Lucid Air Pure reduces the demands on public power grids and enables adding more miles with less energy while fast charging on road trips.

Range to Spare, Even in Cold Air

The Lucid Air model lineup offers outstanding range even in cold conditions, thanks to the inclusion of an energy-saving heat pump. First introduced in the Air Sapphire and then added to the range-king Air Grand Touring for 2024, this ultra-compact, high-performance heat pump is now standard on every Lucid Air.

A Leap in Digital Performance

Every new 2025 Lucid Air model now receives new-generation control hardware, which has triple the processing power and twice the memory compared to the previous generation. All models, from Air Pure to Air Grand Touring, will now come standard with Lucid's DreamDrive Premium ADAS (advanced driver assistance system), which includes 3D surround view monitoring and live blind spot display.
