A Lucid Motors spokesperson confirmed to SlashGear that the Pure AWD configuration would be discontinued in 2024. While the Lucid Air configurator still shows the Pure AWD option, that will highlight the remaining model year 2023 cars that have already been produced. However, they’ll be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis since Lucid has already ceased production of the Pure AWD. At the time of writing, 12 2023 Air Pure AWD cars are listed as available, priced from $76,475, depending on the exact configuration.
Andrew Hussey, Director of Press Relations at Lucid, explains: “As Lucid transitions to a more streamlined model lineup for 2024, customers will be able to order the 2023 Pure AWD from Lucid’s “Available Cars” page until any existing inventory is depleted.” There’s also a new options package for the 2024 Pure RWD — which should address some of the issues we highlighted in our review of the EV. The “Comfort & Convenience Package” adds a few nice quality-of-life touches to the vehicle, namely: a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, soft close doors, four-zone climate control, and power rear window sunshades. The 2024 Air Touring is getting the same package, but with a power frunk and heated precision wipers also included.
