Video Summary
Here is a summary of the Lucid Air 2026 model year review.The 2026 Lucid Air model year isn't a big upgrade.
The 2026 Lucid Air still has CCS and no native NACS connector.
A NACS adapter will be available for over $200, allowing charging at V3 Superchargers.
Charging at Tesla V3 Superchargers will yield up to 50kW or 200 miles of range per hour with an adapter.
Charging speeds at Tesla V3 Superchargers would be similar to what a Chevy Bolt can get with the NACS adapter.
Battery pack technology remains unchanged.
The Lucid Air Touring's range has been increased to 431 miles.
The AC has been improved for faster and quieter cooling, and is more energy efficient.
There's a price hike on the Lucid Air Pure.
Configurations have been simplified; DreamDrive Pro can no longer be added to the base Lucid Air Pure; only DreamDrive Premium.
DreamDrive Pro is a hardware addon worth $7,000.00
Reasonably priced color options are an advantage over Tesla and Rivian.
Some new, but range-reducing, tire options are available.
Used and pre-owned cars, are a bargain purchase and are upgrade friendly.
Lucid might have supply chain contract factors impacting this 2026 model revision.
Purchasing a six figure costing car should not require fumbling around with an adapter.
