The 2025 Lucid Gravity is an all-electric three-row SUV designed to combine minivan-like interior space with supercar-level performance, targeting an driving range beyond 440 miles and a starting price under $80,000. Set to hit dealerships in late 2024, it directly competes with luxury EVs like the BMW iX, Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, Rivian R1S, and Tesla Model X by leveraging the advanced 900-volt electrical architecture and powertrain technology from the acclaimed Lucid Air sedan.
Unveiled at the 2023 Los Angeles Auto Show, the Gravity's design is a departure from traditional SUV boxiness. Its aerodynamic profile, resembling a "smoothed river rock," contributes to a projected coefficient of drag (Cd) of just 0.24, a measure of how easily a vehicle can move through the air; a lower number indicates better efficiency. This sleek shape, coupled with a greenhouse similar to a Toyota Sienna, hints at its primary focus: maximizing interior volume.
Inside, the Gravity promises space comparable to a minivan. With the second and third rows folded, it offers a massive 112 cubic feet of cargo room. The cabin is centered around the Clearview Cockpit, an evolution of the Air's interface featuring a continuous 34-inch OLED curved display. Second-row passengers benefit from fore-and-aft adjustable seats and airplane-style tray tables, emphasizing comfort for long journeys.
Lucid claims the Gravity rides on a new, dedicated SUV platform, though it shares core technology with the Air. The company is targeting a driving range of more than 440 miles on a single charge, which would place it at the top of the electric SUV segment. The vehicle's 900-volt architecture enables extremely fast charging; Lucid projects it can add 200 miles of range in approximately 15 minutes using a DC fast charger.
In terms of performance, the Gravity is expected to be offered with multiple motor configurations, potentially mirroring the Air's lineup from a single motor to a trio of motors. While official output figures are unconfirmed, Lucid promises a 0-60 mph acceleration time of under 3.5 seconds. Given that the Lucid Air Sapphire produces over 1,200 horsepower, high-performance Gravity variants could significantly exceed this conservative estimate.
| Feature | Lucid Gravity (Projected) | Key Competitor Benchmark (Tesla Model X Plaid) |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Range | > 440 miles | 348 miles |
| 0-60 mph Time | < 3.5 seconds | 2.5 seconds |
| Max Towing | Up to 6,000 lbs | 5,000 lbs |
| Starting Price | < $80,000 | ~$82,000 |
Beyond acceleration and range, the Gravity is designed to handle traditional SUV tasks. It will offer an optional Zero Gravity air suspension system, which can automatically adjust ride height for better comfort or off-road capability. The SUV is rated to tow up to 6,000 pounds and carry a 1,500-pound payload, making it a practical choice for active families or those requiring serious utility.
Lucid plans to begin production of the Gravity in late 2024. The company has announced a starting price of less than $80,000, though destination charges will likely push the base model slightly above this threshold. Based on our assessment experience with the Lucid Air, which ranges from around $78,900 to over $250,000, the Gravity will almost certainly have a similarly wide price spread as more powerful and luxurious trims are introduced.
For potential buyers, the key takeaways are its exceptional projected range, spacious and tech-forward interior, and formidable performance. Keep an eye for official EPA range certifications and detailed trim-level pricing as the late 2024 launch approaches.
