LUCID AIR SAPPHIRE 70-MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

The Lucid Air Sapphire's 70 mph highway range test yielded a disappointing 337.3 miles, significantly short of its 427-mile EPA rating. While the reviewer praised the car's comfortable ride, quiet cabin, and advanced driver assistance systems, the efficiency, averaging around 3 miles per kWh, was a major letdown. The reviewer speculated that battery degradation from previous track use or consistent charging at 100% might be contributing factors, though the battery health seemed robust. Despite the range shortfall, the Sapphire's performance and handling were highlighted, but for long-distance cruising, the Grand Touring model appears to be a more efficient choice based on previous tests. The inclusion of aero wheel covers was noted as a standard feature that likely aids efficiency, though a direct comparison test was not performed.
