It may be the bas model, but it leads the whole segment.

As the entry point of a vehicle lineup, base models are the cheapest option, and this means they come with a few caveats: they are usually sparsely equipped, lacking in advanced features, and generally less premium than models higher up in the range. But in the case of the 2024 Lucid Air, we think the base model may actually be the best. CarBuzz recently spent a week driving the Air Pure, the most affordable version of Lucid’s electric luxury sedan. Though it lacks the headline-grabbing performance of the Sapphire or the industry-leading range of the Grand Touring, the Pure still packs over 400 horsepower, over 400 miles of range, and a price tag that makes other electric luxury sedans look silly.
