This is the Gravity GT-S, a seven-seater electric SUV with more power than a Chevy Corvette ZR1. Inspired by the lightning-quick Air Sapphire sedan, the Lucid Gravity GT-S comes with 1,070 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of just 3.1 seconds. The Cadillac Escalade-V is often considered the ultimate three-row performance SUV, but the new GT-S will embarrass it in a straight line yet costs over $40,000 less. Nobody needs an SUV like the Gravity GT-S, but in launching it, Lucid has pushed the limits of what a three-row SUV can achieve.Lucid's Quickest SUV YetLucid Gravity GT-SLucidMaking its debut during Monterey Car Week, the Gravity GT-S combines seven-seater versatility with extreme performance in a way very few other vehicles have ever done. The Tesla Model X Plaid comes to mind, but that SUV has gone out of production. AdvertisementAdvertisementLucid has gone beyond installing more potent motors, though. The GT-S also comes with a standard Dynamic Handling Package, independent rear-wheel steering, and an adaptive three-chamber air suspension. The suspension lowers the SUV at higher speeds, allowing it to cut through the air more efficiently.Lucid Gravity GT-SLucidThe GT-S comes with exclusive design elements to differentiate it from other Gravity models. These include blue exterior accents, blue brake calipers, a Mojave PurLuxe Premium interior with blue stitching/piping, blue seatbelts, and a Lucid Bear logo embossed on the front headrests. It's loaded with equipment like a 22-speaker spatial audio system, Lucid's Glass Canopy Roof, four-zone climate control, and seat heating for the first two rows.At 373 miles, the projected range on a full charge is still excellent, despite the extreme performance of this large SUV. "With Lucid Gravity GT-S, we've created a more expressive and exhilarating interpretation of the Gravity SUV," said Derek Jenkins, Chief Creative Officer at Lucid. "It combines extraordinary performance with the comfort, space, and versatility that define Gravity, delivering an exceptional experience for our customers that is uniquely Lucid."AdvertisementAdvertisementRelated: Lucid Gravity Review: As Close As You Can Get to PerfectPricing, Availability, and RivalsLucid Gravity GT-SLucidView the 2 images of this gallery on the original articleThe new Lucid Gravity GT-S starts at $125,900 before options and orders are now open. It will be available from the fourth quarter of 2026. At the price, the Gravity GT-S has very few peers. The closest competitor is the Cadillac Escalade IQ, which starts at $127,405. While the Cadillac certainly competes on luxury and has a longer range, it's not nearly as quick as the Lucid, with a 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds. The Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric is quicker (0-60 in 2.4 seconds), but it only seats five people and is far more expensive, at $163,000.

The Cadillac Escalade-V is a monster with its supercharged V8, but it's much slower to 60 and costs $42,100 more than the Lucid.All in all, the $125,900 MSRP for the new Lucid is reasonable considering its breadth of capabilities. We now need to wait and see if the EV maker has managed to make it as impressive to drive as the specifications suggest.Autoblog's TakeLucid Gravity GT-SLucidThere's no rational need for a seven-seater electric SUV with over 1,000 horsepower. For most people, the standard Gravity Touring with 560 hp and a starting price of under $80,000 makes more sense. But the Gravity GT-S isn't the sort of vehicle one can rationalize. Like the Air Sapphire, it's more of an aspirational purchase for customers who want peak performance, whether or not they can practically use all that power on normal roads.Between the new GT-S and Air Sapphire sedan, Lucid has positioned itself as a performance benchmark for EVs, not merely a range leader.AdvertisementAdvertisementRelated: Lucid Delays Tesla Model Y Rival to Avoid Repeating Past MistakesThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Aug 14, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
