Lucid Air keeps an estimated 27% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #522 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Lucid Air retains an estimated 27% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #522 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 40% five-year average for EV in its class by 12 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Lucid Air sheds about 17% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $69,900 it falls to around $19,082 by year five — a five-year loss near $50,818, about $27.85 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Lucid Air bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
