Lucid has announced that its flagship Lucid Air electric vehicle (EV) has earned the highest possible 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for the 2025 model year.

According to Polestar, the 5-star safety accolade applies across the entire Lucid Air lineup, including the Pure, Touring, Grand Touring, and high-performance Sapphire variants. Lucid’s achievement in NHTSA’s rigorous crash testing program underscores the company’s relentless focus on engineering vehicles with the most advanced safety systems.

“Safety has been a top priority from the outset at Lucid and achieving five stars in NHTSA’s New Car Assessment Program will give owners further confidence in their Lucid Air,” stated Eric Bach, SVP of Product and Chief Engineer at Lucid. “This is a fantastic result, albeit one that was fully expected given the comprehensive engineering process for Lucid Air.”

NHTSA’s New Car Assessment Program is the United States (U.S.) government’s premier consumer information initiative for evaluating vehicle safety. The program subjects new vehicles to a battery of frontal crash, side crash, and rollover tests, with the results compiled into an overall safety rating ranging from 1 to 5 stars.

Notably, Lucid’s clean-sheet engineering approach for the Air model was aimed on achieving the highest possible safety standards. The EV’s lightweight, high-strength aluminum construction, combined with an innovative battery pack design, creates a robust structure that excels in NHTSA’s demanding crash evaluations.

The Lucid Air’s 5-star NHTSA safety rating is a major validation of the company’s meticulous engineering and safety-first philosophy. It provides prospective buyers with the confidence that Lucid’s flagship model offers exceptional occupant protection in the event of a collision.

With this achievement, Lucid joins an elite group of EVs to earn the top NHTSA safety score, marking a significant milestone that further solidifies Lucid Air’s position as one of the safest and most advanced EVs on the market.
