The 2025 Lucid Air Pure Is A 146 MPG Car

The Lucid Air’s fuel economy is sky high.

The 2025 Lucid Air Pure has been revealed with new updates that make it the most efficient car ever built.

The 430 hp rear-wheel-drive sedan is now rated at 146 mpge — miles per gallon equivalent — which is up from 137 mpge for the 2024 model that was named American Cars And Racing’s US-Built Luxury Vehicle of the Year™. The EPA uses mpge to compare the amount of energy in a gallon of gasoline to other energy sources.

That puts it ahead of the previous high of 140 mpge achieved by the Hyundai Ioniq 6 and discontinued all-wheel-drive Air Pure model and equates to to five miles per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity.

Lucid achieved that by changing to an energy efficient heat pump for the climate control system, which is now standard across the Air lineup. It has also reduced the size of the Air Pure’s battery pack from 88 kWh to 84 kWh. Lucid notes that by using a smaller battery pack, it can build more vehicles with the same amount of critical resources.

“The advancements introduced across the Lucid Air lineup for 2025 further cement our leadership position,” Peter Rawlinson, CEO and CTO of Lucid, said in a press release. “Lucid Air is the very embodiment of our relentless approach to optimization, enabling Air Pure to use less electrical energy than any other vehicle for any journey taken, A to B.”

The rear-wheel-drive Air Pure is priced at $71,400, has a range of 420 miles per charge and can accelerate to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Lucid also updated the vehicle’s processor and all of the Air trims come standard with an advanced driver assistance system that includes blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera system.
