Lucid Cheaper Sedan EV May Debut This 2025, We Are More Close Towards Affordable EVs
TwitterWhatsappLinkedin

Recently Lucid Motors revealed its $250,000 Air Sapphire, which is a rather cheaper version of the earlier launched vehicles. Lucid’s senior vice president of design and brand, Derek Jenkins told the Air Pure that, “all of the development of the high-end cars has trickled down to this car at a better entry-level price, but still with pretty remarkable specifications.”

Lucid has not officially acknowledged that it is working on a third model, after the Air sedan and Gravity SUV, although it did possibly show the vehicle under a cover in one video. We’re not exactly sure which video the screen captures are taken from, but they show Derek Jenkins and Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson walking around three cars. One is an Air, another is a Gravity SUV that’s under a car cover, but the third vehicle (also under a cover) is not an Air. It looks like a sedan, a smaller one, with a different shape to its roof compared to the Air. It could very well fit the bill for the $50,000 sedan and the fact that it’s there suggests design work on it is complete.

Air Sapphire

Lucid only sold six-figure versions of the Air electric sedan, but that changed last week with the introduction of the $89,050 Pure variant alongside the slightly pricier $109,050 Touring model. The new cheaper model is expected to cost around $50,000 and is expected to debut within this decade. The company is still proud that it managed to bring the Air’s cost down to be able to sell it below $100,000 while also not turning it into a barebones car. It still comes well equipped, missing out on the panoramic glass roof and the range drops to 410 miles.

It is visible through the cover that even though the rear end is more fastback-like to the Air’s more traditional sedan proportions, the front end of the mystery model appears similar to the Air, with intakes that go through the hood in pretty much the same place. From the front, it does look a lot like an Air, but with that different back section, it isn’t one.

But before Lucid can announce a third model, it has to successfully ramp up production of the Air, then launch and then ramp up production of the Gravity SUV. One will be able to reserve an example of the latter starting sometime early next year, with first deliveries expected to commence in 2024. Lucid is also in the process of expanding its home factory in Casa Grande, Arizona.

Kia EV5 Charges into the UK Market with Sleek Looks, Smart Tech, and Up to 329 Miles of Range

Kia’s EV portfolio continues to expand, and the EV5 is the newest entrant to join the electric SUV party in the UK. Nestled between the compact EV4 and the more performance-oriented EV6, the EV5 is designed to hit the sweet spot for families and city dwellers alike. With a striking exterior, sustainable interior materials, and solid electric performance, the EV5 aims to be more than just a placeholder in the brand’s electric journey. The EV5 will launch in the UK with one battery option: an 81.4kWh pack, delivering up to 329 miles of WLTP-certified range in the base 'Baseline' model and up to 313 miles in the mid-tier 'GT-Line' variant. Both versions are front-wheel-drive only. Powertrain and Charging Capabilities While Kia is keeping things simple (for now) with a single battery option, the EV5 doesn’t skimp on performance. The models revealed so far are FWD and optimized for efficiency. Power figures haven’t been fully disclosed yet, but expect punchy acceleration and smooth handling typical of the brand's electric models. What makes the EV5 especially practical for UK drivers is its 400V electrical architecture, which allows DC fast charging from 10% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes – or roughly the time it takes to watch an episode of The Office. Plug it into a 150kW charger and you're good to go in no time. Kia’s intelligent i-Pedal regenerative braking system also helps drivers maximize range with one-pedal driving, ideal for stop-start urban environments. Design: Sharp, Bold, and Boxy True to modern EV styling, the EV5 takes a bold leap forward with sharp lines, squared shoulders, and futuristic lighting signatures. The SUV embraces a boxier, more upright stance – a departure from the sleeker coupe-like profile of the EV6 – lending it a rugged, practical look that’s both urban- and adventure-ready. Expect a variety of vibrant colour options and distinctive alloy wheels across the trims, making this a head-turner on UK streets. Inside: Sustainable Luxury Meets Everyday Practicality Step inside the EV5 and you’re greeted by an airy, tech-focused cabin designed with both comfort and sustainability in mind. A seamless panoramic display stretches across the dash, combining the infotainment and instrument cluster into one fluid unit. There’s also generous cabin space, enhanced by clever packaging and flat-floor architecture. Kia has used eco-friendly materials throughout the cabin, including recycled fabrics and plant-based leathers. Add in massage seats, ambient lighting, and more storage than your average Zone 1 London flat, and you’ve got a space designed to both relax and impress. The Upcoming GT Variant While the Baseline and GT-Line trims are confirmed, Kia has teased a third, range-topping EV5 GT variant. This high-performance edition will feature all-wheel drive and a sportier character, but beyond that, details remain scarce. Expect it to arrive with beefed-up power figures, likely mirroring the punchy GT performance we’ve seen in the EV6 GT. Final Thoughts The Kia EV5 is shaping up to be a well-rounded electric SUV that offers strong range, thoughtful design, and innovative tech. With prices yet to be confirmed and the GT variant still under wraps, there's more to come – but based on what we’ve seen, the EV5 is a compelling new option for anyone looking to go electric in 2025. Keep an eye on Kia’s UK site for updates and bookings later this year.
