"Lucid's first mid-size electric SUVs will be called Cosmos and Earth, the company confirmed today during its Investor Day 2026 event in New York City. A third model based on the same platform is also in the works, but its name has not been revealed yet. The Lucid Cosmos and Earth are the California-based startup's ticket to the big league, so it has to do things right."
"Lucid officials said that the Cosmos and Earth EVs will ride on an 800-volt battery system with a zonal architecture that supports bidirectional charging. A new drive unit dubbed Atlas will power the company's new crossovers, with Lucid boasting a 23% reduction in weight and a 30% reduction in parts compared to the current-generation motors."
"Lucid officials said that the Cosmos only needs 69 kilowatt-hours of battery capacity to go 300 miles on a full charge, and that the actual range will be higher. That's all thanks to the work put in by designers and engineers to make the EV as aerodynamic as possible, with a drag coefficient of just 0.22."
Lucid announced its first mid-size electric SUVs, named Cosmos and Earth, during its 2026 Investor Day event. These vehicles target a different market segment than Lucid's existing Air sedan and Gravity SUV, with an estimated starting price of $50,000. The Cosmos and Earth utilize an 800-volt battery system with zonal architecture supporting bidirectional charging. A new drive unit called Atlas powers these crossovers, offering 23% weight reduction and 30% fewer parts compared to current motors. The Cosmos achieves 300 miles of range on 69 kilowatt-hours of battery capacity, with actual range expected to be higher due to exceptional aerodynamics featuring a 0.22 drag coefficient. The vehicles incorporate mechanical door handles instead of electronic ones and feature a single ultra-widescreen display replacing the center touchscreen found in larger Lucid models.
