Details may be few, but important: Lucid is looking to upset EV world, this time with a battery-powered sport-utility. If the Gravity follows the same format as the company’s Air four-door sedan, there’ll be a base Pure model with 480 horsepower; a mid-level 620-hp Touring variant; and a 1,050-hp range-topping Grand Touring version, all with dual motors and all-wheel-drive. As to whether there’s also be a full-monty 1,200-plus-horsepower triple-motored monster (Lucid calls the sedan version the “Sapphire”) is not yet known.
What is probable is that the SUVs will offer even larger batteries than the current 18-module “Long Range” and the 22-module “Extended Range” options on the sedan. Whatever the final specification, Lucid is promising more range than any other EV on the market, save for its super-slippery Air, of course.
What we do know is that the Gravity promises to have a wide variety of interior configurations. Although maximum occupancy is — like most gargantuan SUVs — seven, thanks to the Lucid Space Concept, it will also be offered in five-, six-, and seven-passenger configurations with both two- and three-row variants.

This will allow the Gravity to be “both a supercar in disguise and an SUV with flexible passenger and cargo space that seems impossibly big relative to the exterior size of the vehicle,” says Derek Jenkins, Senior Vice President of Design. “And it does this all with Lucid’s distinctive post-luxury design, inspired by California.”
Lucid says that deliveries of its new super-SUV will start in 2024, while the reservation desk to put a deposit down on the new Gravity will open in early 2023.
