What is the specific model name of the Lucid Air that achieved an EPA range of 516 miles?

The Lucid Air model that achieved an EPA-estimated range of 516 miles was the Lucid Air Grand Touring.

That figure applied to the Grand Touring equipped with 19-inch wheels. Its range came from Lucid's focus on aerodynamic efficiency, a large battery, compact electric drive units, and careful thermal management. The rating made it one of the longest-range electric cars ever officially tested by the EPA.

A common mix-up is the Lucid Air Dream Edition Range, which received an even higher EPA estimate of 520 miles. The Pure and Touring versions were also part of the Air lineup, but their EPA ratings were lower. Wheel size matters too: the Grand Touring's 21-inch-wheel rating was substantially below its 19-inch figure.

EPA range is a standardized comparison estimate, not a guarantee of real-world distance. Speed, temperature, terrain, climate control, tires, and driving style can all change how far the car travels between charges.
