Lucid Air Sapphire
Engine:
Torque: ~1,430 Nm
0–100 km/h: 1.9 s

The Lucid Air Sapphire isn’t just fast for an EV — it’s fast by any standard. With over 1,200 hp, torque-vectoring tri-motor AWD, and launch control, it rockets to 100 km/h in under 2 seconds, making it one of the quickest production cars on Earth. Yet it still offers nearly 700 km of range, a serene interior, and real luggage space — a blend no other electric hyper-sedan matches.

The Sapphire’s dual rear motors allow true torque vectoring, enabling rotation and lateral agility previously unthinkable in a 2.5-ton luxury car. A widened track, semi-active suspension, carbon-ceramic brakes, bespoke Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, and a dedicated Sapphire drive mode elevate it from straight-line missile to circuit-ready machine.

Inside, Sapphire-specific bucket-style sport seats, carbon accents, and Alcantara trims underline its purpose. The curved 34” OLED display, Lucid UX interface, and surreal quietness deliver a uniquely futuristic cabin experience. Despite brutal performance, it remains comfortable, silent, and effortless on long drives.

Even in less extreme trims like the Air Grand Touring or Dream Edition, Lucid Air delivers supercar-rivaling acceleration (0–100 km/h in ~2.5 s) and industry-leading efficiency and range, thanks to aerodynamic design (Cd = 0.197), compact motors, and advanced thermal management.

The Lucid Air Sapphire earns its place in the performance registry as the world’s fastest and most luxurious electric sedan, combining track-grade engineering with first-class refinement — the ultimate proof that EVs can be thrilling, beautiful, and long-legged all at once.

Body Styles

A sleek, futuristic four-door luxury electric sedan with an emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency, measuring a remarkably low drag coefficient of 0.197 Cd. The Lucid Air’s proportions blend coupe-like flow with a long wheelbase designed to maximize interior space. The glass canopy roof, optional on Touring and Grand Touring trims, enhances cabin spaciousness and bathes the interior in natural light, reinforcing Lucid’s vision of an open, futuristic driving experience. Its minimalist exterior design, sharp LED lighting signatures, and understated elegance set a new benchmark for electric luxury sedans.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

“Air” symbolizes lightness, effortless movement, and clarity — key themes in Lucid’s brand philosophy. The name evokes the company’s mission to rethink luxury and mobility through purity of engineering, sustainability, and technological advancement. Unlike many traditional automakers, Lucid chose an elemental name to emphasize freedom, innovation, and future-forward design without resorting to alphanumerics.

Model Name Meaning (Languages)

“Air” is globally understood and easy to pronounce across all major languages, aligning with Lucid’s international ambitions. It positions the model emotionally and aspirationally rather than technically, reinforcing the brand’s image as a fresh, human-centered alternative to both traditional luxury brands and more tech-driven competitors.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The Lucid Air’s exterior color palette is meticulously curated to emphasize its futuristic lines and minimalist design philosophy. Standard and premium options include Infinite Black, Stellar White, Quantum Grey, Cosmos Silver, Eureka Gold, and Zenith Red. Special editions such as the Grand Touring Performance and Sapphire models introduce exclusive paint finishes like Sapphire Blue and stealth-themed blacked-out trims. Each color was selected to interact with the Air’s sculpted body surfaces, enhancing shadow play, reflecting clean transitions, and emphasizing the aerodynamic architecture. The Infinite Black and Quantum Grey hues, in particular, highlight the Air’s low-slung, performance-oriented stance while simultaneously evoking understated sophistication.

Inside, the Lucid Air’s cabin is a masterclass in Californian modernism, combining sustainably sourced materials with cutting-edge technology. Standard interior themes include the Mojave (dark desert tones with charcoal accents), Santa Monica (light coastal creams and beiges), Tahoe (cool alpine greys), and Mojave PurLuxe (vegan leather). Touring and Grand Touring trims introduce natural grain leathers, open-pore woods, suede inserts, and detailed stitching that are hand-finished to luxury standards. The front dashboard is dominated by the floating 34-inch Glass Cockpit curved display, seamlessly blending the digital instrument cluster, center infotainment, and vehicle controls. A retractable Pilot Panel below the center console offers additional access to drive modes, climate controls, and seat settings, while maintaining a clean and spacious aesthetic.

The wheel designs across the Air lineup are both functional and striking. The base Pure models ride on lightweight 19-inch Aero Range wheels designed for optimal efficiency, with optional 20- and 21-inch choices available for more visual drama. Touring and Grand Touring trims offer turbine-style alloys that prioritize aerodynamic balance while presenting a technical, sophisticated look. Grand Touring Performance models introduce sportier 21-inch wheels with gloss black or dark satin finishes that complement the stealth aesthetic packages. The Air Sapphire features bespoke tri-motor-specific lightweight wheels paired with ultra-high-performance Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, engineered to handle the immense power output while maintaining daily drivability.

vs Competitors

The Lucid Air directly competes with the Tesla Model S Plaid, Mercedes-Benz EQS, BMW i7, and Porsche Taycan. Against Tesla, the Air offers superior material quality, greater real-world range, and a quieter, more refined ride. Compared to the EQS and i7, the Lucid Air feels lighter, sharper, and more driver-focused while maintaining comparable luxury appointments. Against the Taycan, the Air doesn’t deliver quite the same track-day handling sharpness, but it outperforms in terms of range, cabin space, and long-distance comfort. The Air also maintains a unique design ethos rooted in efficiency and modernist luxury, offering an experience distinct from traditional European automakers.

Fun Fact

The Lucid Air Dream Edition R set the record as the longest-range EV ever certified by the EPA, with an official rating of 837 km / 520 miles on a single charge — beating Tesla and all other competitors. The Air is also the first production EV to use a 900V electrical architecture, enabling some of the fastest real-world DC charging speeds, capable of recovering up to 480 km / 300 miles of range in about 20 minutes under optimal conditions.
