Theres finally another option in the world of electric SUVs. The Lucid Air has long been known as the electric car with the longest range, but Lucid is finally branching out with a bigger option the Lucid Gravity. Itoffers a similar design sensibility as the Air, with more room on the inside and pretty great performance.
The Lucid Gravity could well be the go-to electric SUV, at least when it comes to luxury options. Curious to learn more? Heres everything you need to know.
If youve seen the Lucid Air, you have an idea about the overall design of the Lucid Gravity. The car is sleek and stylish, and while its not quite as unique-looking as the Air, its clearly a premium car overall.
On the front of the Gravity can be found two slim headlights and a swooping hood that arcs across the front. The side profile of the car slopes down toward the back, where youll find a rear light bar. In most color options, theres a two-tone look, which some will love and others wont.
Related In some ways, the Gravity looks simply like a taller version of the Air but again, thats not a bad thing. The Air wasnt my personal favorite design of all time, but theres no denying that it looks sleek.
The interior of the Lucid Gravity is premium too. Theres a nice stitched leather that in most of the images is a saddle brown.
Like in the Lucid Air, there are two displays at the front of the car. Theres one super-wide display that stretches along the front for lights and wipers, instrument monitoring, and mapping, and a secondary display that can be used for climate controls, driving modes, and other settings. This particular dual-display setup is somewhat unique to the Lucid Gravity and Lucid Air, and having driven the Air, I can say its relatively intuitive and easy to get used to. The Lucid Air supports Apple CarPlay, and wed be surprised if the Gravity didnt but Lucid hasnt confirmed CarPlay support just yet.
The Gravity is, of course, more roomy than the Air to the point where it can offer an option third row of seating, instead of two. Theres also a center console for storage in between the two front seats, and a pair of tables can fold out from the front seats for the second-row passengers. The Gravity will be available in six- or seven-seat configurations. That third row of seating will be able to fold flat to expand cargo space when not in use.
The Lucid Air came in a number of different models, and its entirely possible that the Gravity will eventually be available in a multiple trim levels too. Lucid has yet to announce the trim levels for the car, so we can only speculate, but we do know that itll come standard with all-wheel drive and two motors.
If the Gravity is like the Air, it could come in a base Pure trim, ranging up to the Touring, Grand Touring, Dream Edition, and Sapphire packages. If those trims are planned, its unlikely theyll all be released at launch. However, given the fact that the Air has an option for a third motor, were expecting there will eventually be a tri-motor Gravity too.
The Lucid Air is known for its excellent range, and thankfully, that continues with the Lucid Gravity. The Lucid Gravity, according to Lucid, will have a range of more than 440 miles however, we dont yet know if that figure is for a base model, high-end model, or perhaps the only launch model. Its not quite the 500-mile-plus range on offer by the Lucid Air, but it still beats most of the electric SUV competition.
The charging speed will be excellent too. Lucid says that the Gravity will get up to 200 miles of range in 15 minutes via a 350-kilowatt charging station. That means that the Gravity will be one of the fastest-charging cars out there today, and will be able to take full advantage of the faster charging stations.
Not only that, but Lucid has confirmed that the Gravity will ship with the NACS charging port, so itll be able to charge at Tesla Superchargers and other charging stations that adopt the newer charging standard. Of course, itll also support CCS charging with an adapter. Some online speculation indicated that the vehicle might ship with both NACS and CCS, but not only does that just seem unlikely, it has also seemingly been disproven by photos that Lucid posted on Threads, showing only the NACS port.
The Lucid Gravity doesnt just offer an excellent range its super quick too. The Gravity will come with dual electric motors, with all-wheel drive being standard, at least at the beginning.
Exact numbers for the performance of the Gravity have yet to be revealed, but its likely that the Gravity will offer similar performance to the Lucid Air. That means that itll get around 480 horsepower in the base Pure model, 620 horsepower in the Touring trim, and 1,050 horsepower in the Grand Touring trim.
Well have to wait and see exactly how well the Lucid Gravity performs in the real world, especially given the fact that while it could offer as much power, itll likely be heavier than the Air, and as such may not be quite as quick. But if the Gravity is even close to the Air, it could end up being one of the fastest electric cars out there the Lucid Air Dream Edition currently sits only behind the Tesla Model S Plaid on the list of fastest production cars.
Dont expect the Lucid Gravity to save us from a lack of affordable electric SUVs the Lucid Air starts at $69,900, and the Gravity will be a little more expensive. Lucid has said that the car will have a starting price of under $80,000, but we dont expect it to be much under that. Itll likely end up being as close to $80,000 as possible, while still technically being under.
Of course, that price will be for the base trim of the car, and higher-end models will certainly cost more, if and when they launch. Just look at the Sapphire edition of the Lucid Air, which had a starting price of around $249,000. Its hard to imagine that Lucid wont eventually offer a similarly priced version of the Gravity.
So when will you be able to get your hands on the Lucid Gravity for yourself? Well, you may not have to wait much longer. Lucid has said that the vehicle will be available starting in late 2024, but thats likely just for orders to open and deliveries may not start until 2025.
