• Lucid announced pricing for its entry-level Air Pure, which is starting at $77,400.

While we’re still waiting for details on the tri-motor performance edition of the Lucid Air, the automotive startup has shared details about the entry-level Air called the Air Pure. The electric vehicle starts at $77,400 and according to Lucid has a range of 406 miles and 480 hp.

Those looking for the least expensive Lucid Air can now build their own on the automaker's site, but be prepared to wait quite a while. The vehicle is expected to reach customers starting in early 2022. It joins the Touring, Grand Touring, and launch model Dream Edition. Those three vehicles are expected to come to market in 2021 with the Dream Edition leading the way in the Spring of next year.

Reserving the Air Pure requires a $300 deposit; the cars will be built at the company’s factory in Casa Grande, Arizona. The automotive startup recently completed the first phase of construction on the factory and is currently commissioning production equipment. The facility will have an initial capacity of 30,000 units per year and will eventually expand to 400,000 units a year, according to Lucid.
