The base Lucid Air starts at $52,500, which is after $7,500 off with federal tax credit available to buyers of battery electric vehicles. For the base model, you’ll get 400 hp rear-wheel drive, with a 240-mile (386 km) range. Other equipment includes,

Software updates for the base Air will happen over-the-air. Available options include 315-mile (507 km) and 400-mile (644 km) range battery options, up to 1,000 hp twin-motor configuration with all-wheel drive, active suspension, glass-canopy roof, rear executive seats that recline up to 55 degrees, 22-way power front seats with heating, ventilation, dynamic bolsters, and massage, 21-inch Lucid-design wheels, 29-speaker audio system with active noise cancellation, and, last but not the least, expanded leather trim with corresponding material upgrades.

A fully loaded Lucid Air with the above mentioned options will cost you over $100,000. Lucid says they’re “not yet able to provide specific top-of-the-line pricing”.

The Launch Edition, limited to 255 units, will have top-specs, and will be priced over $100,000. These cars will have a 315-mile (507 km) range, 1,000 hp, autonomous driving hardware, 21-inch wheels, and an upgraded audio system for starters. “Some features, such as the rear executive seats, cannot yet be confirmed for early production.
