Lucid Group has achieved a new milestone in electric vehicle performance, with its flagship Lucid Air Grand Touring setting a Guinness World Record by traveling 1,205 kilometers (749 miles) on a single charge. The record-setting journey, announced on Tuesday, exceeded the previous benchmark by 160 kilometers (99 miles).
The record was set during a drive from St. Moritz, Switzerland, to Munich, Germany. The route included a combination of alpine roads, highways, and secondary streets, providing a varied terrain to test the vehicle’s efficiency. The prior record of 1,045 kilometers (649 miles) was established in June 2025.
Lucid attributes the achievement to the vehicle’s advanced technology, including its ultra-high voltage electrical architecture, efficient drive units, and battery management systems. The Air Grand Touring has a WLTP-rated range of up to 823 kilometers (512 miles) and an energy consumption rate of 13.5 kWh per 100 kilometers.
“This range record represents a significant milestone—it’s yet another clear demonstration of the technological edge that defines Lucid,” said Eric Bach, Senior Vice President of Product and Chief Engineer at Lucid.
The drive was part of an ongoing collaboration between Lucid and Umit Sabanci, a London-based entrepreneur known for his long-distance EV record attempts. In 2024, Sabanci drove a Lucid Air Grand Touring through nine countries without recharging, earning a separate Guinness World Record.
“This new achievement takes that journey even further,” Sabanci said. “I’m proud to be part of a movement that proves electric mobility isn’t just the future—it’s already redefining what’s possible today.”
