The engine

Single Electric Motor

Single-Motor RWD Electric

A single compact rear motor delivering smooth, strong RWD torque and remarkable real-world range, prioritizing efficiency and refinement over the raw acceleration of dual-motor variants.

Built on Lucid's in-house 900V+ electric architecture developed in Newark, California, the same powertrain technology that underpins the high-performance Air Grand Touring and Sapphire.

The Air Pure posts a landmark efficiency rating around 146 MPGe, roughly 5.0 miles per kWh, a benchmark for production EVs.
Its teardrop body achieves a drag coefficient of about 0.197, among the slipperiest of any production car.
It extracts over 400 miles of EPA range from a relatively small battery pack thanks to Lucid's compact, efficient motor and high-voltage system.
