2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring Trim to Get More Powerful, Expensive Performance Version
Following in the footsteps of the Air Dream Edition sedan that launched the Lucid Motors electric-vehicle brand, the Air’s new Grand Touring trim will come in a Performance version that boosts horsepower and price but reduces range. While reservations are closed for the Dream, Lucid says the Grand Touring is already being delivered and the Grand Touring Performance will ship in June 2022.

All Grand Tourings have two motors and all-wheel drive. Lucid says the Performance treatment increases output from 819 horsepower to 1,050 hp and quickens the 0-60-mph time from 3 to 2.6 seconds, not far from the Air Dream Edition Performance’s 1,111 hp and 2.5 seconds.
As with the launch edition, range decreases, but it’s partly because the Performance comes only with 21-inch wheels, which puts a huge dent in all Lucid Air range estimates. The regular Grand Touring’s range is an EPA-estimated 516 miles with 19-inch wheels but only 469 miles with 21s. The Performance shaves it further to 446 miles, according to Lucid.
The Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance has an MSRP of $179,000 (all prices are before destination charges and incentives), which at $10,000 more than the base price of the Lucid Air Dream Edition wipes out the price advantage this second trim level brings in its regular Grand Touring guise, priced at $139,000.
