While Lucid has made a name for itself in the premium EV market with cutting-edge engineering and sleek design, even the most advanced models aren’t immune to the realities of ownership — especially when it comes to depreciation.
A 2025 Lucid Air Grand Touring in Fathom Blue Metallic recently sold for $75,500 after less than a year of ownership, despite being in near-new condition. The original owner bought it in February 2025 and drove just 6,500 miles (10,500 km) before listing it.
Sticker Shock: Luxury Options Add Up
The base price of the Grand Touring starts at $110,900, but this particular vehicle came heavily optioned:
-
Tahoe extended leather package: $5,500
-
DreamDrive Pro driver assistance system: $2,500
-
Power front seats with massage and ventilation: $3,750
-
Delivery fee: $1,500
With these extras, the total MSRP climbed to $124,950 before taxes. Selling it for $75,500 represents a staggering $49,450 loss, not including registration or tax costs — a sobering example of how quickly luxury EVs can lose value.
The Bright Side for Buyers
For prospective buyers, much of that depreciation has already occurred. While the car will continue to lose value over time, the steepest drop is likely behind it. By comparison, 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring models now sell for mid-$50,000, meaning this 2025 model could still represent a relatively strong value for its technology and features.
Long-term owners who hold onto their vehicle can enjoy one of the most refined and tech-laden luxury EVs on the market without absorbing the initial depreciation hit themselves.
Performance Still Impressive
Though much of the attention in recent years has been on the Lucid Air Sapphire, the Grand Touring remains extraordinarily capable. It features:
-
Dual electric motors producing a combined 819 hp
-
Acceleration from 0–60 mph in around 3 seconds
-
Exceptional range of 512 miles (824 km), among the highest in the current EV market
These specs make it not only a high-performance luxury sedan but also one of the most practical EVs for long-distance driving.
Takeaway
The resale story of this 2025 Lucid Air Grand Touring highlights a key reality for luxury EV buyers: rapid initial depreciation is common. Yet for savvy buyers, these price drops provide an opportunity to access cutting-edge EV technology at a discount, while owners who hold on avoid the steepest losses.
