Lucid Air GT drives way over 500 miles in highway range test

Luxury electric vehicle (EV) maker Lucid Motors holds the crown for some of the longest-ranged vehicles with the Air sedan, and a recent range test of the 2025 model year version of the vehicle’s Grand Touring trim showed it reaching well over 500 miles before the battery dies.

In an episode of Out of Spec reviews shared over the weekend, Kyle Conner managed to drive the 2025 Lucid Air Grand Touring well over 500 miles, making it the longest-range EV the channel has ever tested. Conner was driving the vehicle with 19-inch aero wheels ( although it was delivered with 21-inch wheels), and using the studio’s usual 70 mph highway range loop.

By the end of the highway range test, Conner was using only dim parking lights to save a bit of the 12-volt battery, already having surpassed 520 miles and still going.

In another recent episode, Conner and fellow Out of Spec host Jordan Schiefer noted that the Lucid Air would be the company’s latest long-term review vehicle, so we can expect to see a lot more of the sedan in the coming months.

The Air Grand Touring is Lucid’s highest-ranged configuration of the sedan, as well as the second-most expensive behind the ultra-luxury Sapphire trim. The 2025 Grand Touring is priced starting at $112,400, while the Sapphire starts at $250,500. The Pure and Touring trims are $71,400 and $80,400, respectively.

The 2025 edition of the Grand Touring trim is rated for 480 miles of range, while the Touring and Pure are rated for 382 and 365, respectively. The upgrade-level Sapphire is rated for 427 miles.

While the Lucid Air is the first of the EV maker’s vehicles, the company is expected to begin production of the Gravity SUV this year. Lucid CEO and CTO Peter Rawlinson drove the first pre-production Gravity off the company’s production line in Casa Grande, Arizona in late July.

Lucid is majority-owned by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), which holds a 59.4 percent stake in the U.S. company headquartered in Newark, California. Last month, the EV maker also gained an additional $1.5 billion commitment from the PIF, expected to help the company progress toward profitability in the coming years.

The automaker also built the first EV factory in Saudi Arabia last year, and it built around 800 units at the plant by the end of the year.
