Lucid Motors will offer two variants of its Air electric sedan. These arrive in several European countries, with a smaller battery.
Electric car maker Lucid Motors is trying to cut prices, especially in Europe. To achieve this, it now offers two new versions of the Air, its electric sedan wanting to rival Tesla.
These are called Air Pure AWD, and Air Touring. The first, already announced in the United States, is intended to be a new entry level. It has a smaller battery, with a capacity of 88 kWh. Thanks to this, however, it has a range of 725 kilometers, in the WLTP certification cycle.
Its engine power is 353 kW, or 474 horsepower. Thanks to these more modest characteristics, it can display a five-digit price in Norway, at 96,360 euros. Indeed, these two models arrive in Germany, Norway, the Netherlands and Switzerland. It is in Norway that the prices are the lowest. In Germany, where the prices are closer to those displayed in France, it is worth 109,000 euros.
In the Netherlands, the Lucid Air Pure AWD costs 115,000 euros, while it is displayed at 128,630 euros in Switzerland. The Touring, for its part, displays a power of 456 kW, or 61 horsepower, and the price is affected. However, it has the same battery as the Pure AWD.
In Norway, where prices are also the lowest, it arrives in the catalog at 109,800 euros. In Germany, Lucid displays it at 129,000 euros, while its price in the Netherlands is 134,000 euros. Again, it is in Switzerland that it is the most expensive, at nearly 150,000 euros.

A “small” 92 kWh battery
These are the first finishes to use the 88 kWh battery, since the Dream Edition, Dream Edition Range and Grand Touring versions all carry the 113 kWh capacity battery.
Charging speed is slightly lower on the smaller pack, with 250kW of power. On the 113 kWh battery, Lucid Motors advertises up to 300 kW of charging power.
On the other hand, the small battery offers more space, with a lower floor of 8 centimeters at the rear. Passengers gain legroom and comfort, according to the manufacturer.
Finally, Lucid Motors is planning a new entry-level version for next year. The Lucid Air Pure propulsion will indeed arrive in 2024, but we do not yet know any details about it.
