The three-row electric SUV will initially be available in the premium Grand Touring trim. A Touring model priced at $79,900 will enter production in late 2025, qualifying for the $7,500 EV tax credit. The Gravity Grand Touring boasts an estimated 800 horsepower and a range of 440 miles.
On November 7, 2024, the 2025 Lucid Gravity electric SUV will be priced at $94,900, as announced by the American manufacturer on Tuesday.
The Gravity will debut with the high-end Grand Touring option, which is projected to deliver 800 hp and 440 miles of travel range. While detailed specifications are limited for now, the Gravity Grand Touring is expected to feature dual-motor all-wheel drive and a 112-kwh battery pack, echoing the Lucid Air luxury sedan. Lucid anticipates a brisk 0-60 mph acceleration time of 3.5 seconds, and it will have a towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds.
Later in 2025, Lucid plans to introduce the 2026 Gravity Touring model at a price point of $79,900, which would qualify for the $7,500 federal EV tax incentive, depending on the results of future elections. It remains unclear whether there will be a lower-cost Pure trim following the Touring model, as was the case with the Lucid Air.
The 2025 Air Pure achieves an estimated efficiency of 5.0 miles per kwh, making it the most efficient production car available today.
The prototype Gravity SUV featured an impressively low 0.24 coefficient of drag, even with three rows of seating. The production model will be manufactured alongside the Lucid Air in Casa Grande, Arizona, but will utilize a different platform with a 900-volt architecture. This setup should facilitate some of the fastest DC charging in the EV market, with an estimated gain of 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes. While Lucid hasn’t disclosed the peak charging rate, it’s expected to fall around 305 kw, similar to the Lucid Air.
The Gravity three-row crossover SUV may prove to be the more desirable option in Lucid’s emerging lineup, potentially supporting the company towards profitability. In the second quarter, Lucid reported a substantial loss of $790 million, despite achieving record sales of 2,394 Lucid Air sedans, according to Automotive News. Shortly after, the company received a $1.5 billion investment from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the largest shareholder of the Silicon Valley manufacturer.
Lucid envisions that the Gravity will not only help recover the costly development expenses associated with launching a new brand and product line, but also steer the company towards profitability. However, the Gravity’s launch finds the electric vehicle market populated with more established three-row competitors, such as the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and the Rivian R1S.
The Gravity is slightly shorter than the Rivian R1S, which measures 200.8 inches. At 198 inches long, the Lucid Gravity is marginally longer than the Kia EV9 at 197.2 inches and approximately the same length as the Tesla Model X. Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson was previously the chief engineer of the Tesla Model S full-size sedan before becoming Lucid’s chief technology officer in 2013.
The segment of three-row electric vehicles continues to expand, with the upcoming 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz minivan and Kia EV9 offering more affordable alternatives than the Gravity at present.
