Lucid unveils Gravity electric SUV; production in late 2024, starting under $80,000
18 November 2023
Lucid Group revealed the new Lucid Gravity luxury electric SUV. The Gravity SUV is a high-performance vehicle with space for up to seven adults and their gear and a projected driving range in excess of 440 miles. Production starts in late 2024.
A focus on efficiency has led to a target coefficient of drag of less than 0.24, an aerodynamic profile unsurpassed by other three-row SUVs. The cabin offers spacious seating, with the added convenience of second and third-row seats that fold flat to reveal more than 112 cubic feet of total usable cargo space for an effortless combination of comfort and cargo capacity.
The sliding second row seats combine with integrated convenience tables for an elevated back-seat experience. Legroom is carried through to the third row, enabling a comfortable seven-passenger configuration.
Gravity represents a definitive evolution of Lucid’s user interface, called Clearview Cockpit, featuring an intuitive 34-inch curved and uninterrupted OLED display that floats above Gravity’s new steering wheel, closely matched with the driver’s line of sight. Lucid’s Pilot Panel returns in Gravity with a quick access touch bar and sitting alongside a new glass center console that elegantly slides open for additional storage. This SUV also introduces Lucid’s next-generation software with over-the-air updates, ensuring continued vehicle improvement.
Gravity is based on a new platform developed from the ground up as a sporty SUV. This is seamlessly integrated with the next-generation of Lucid’s proprietary, ultra-compact powertrain technology, including the most power-dense EV motors in production globally, and an evolution of its 900V electrical architecture.
Gravity accelerates from 0-60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds while providing a substantial payload capacity of more than 1,500 pounds and an additional 6,000 pounds of towing capacity.
Lucid is also introducing Zero Gravity, an enhanced optional air suspension package that automatically adapts to various terrain needs, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride on any surface. Manual adjustments also offer the ability to raise Gravity to maximize off-road capability or lower it to maximize performance and range.
Gravity adopts an evolution of the company’s 900+V architecture and ultra-fast charge rates, making it one of the fastest EV charging systems globally. Customers can add up to 200 miles of range in about 15 minutes when connected toa 350 kW DC fast charger.
Gravity will be competitively priced in the full-size premium SUV category with an expected starting price under $80,000. Production is expected to begin in late 2024.
