"It's no secret that it's tough going for any electric newcomer. For lots of brands, both startup and legacy, it's been last-man-standing when it comes to just who can actually get a compelling EV product to market. And there's always the question of whether what's in the oven is even what people are metaphorically hungry for anymore. The economy is wonky, people are scared, and federal incentives to both build and buy EVs have been cut off at the knees."
"Nevertheless, brands gotta keep going, no? Especially brands like Lucid Motors, an EV-only luxury brand aiming to usurp the likes of Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Lucid's fooled around with the very good (but sometimes glitchy) Air sedan. The Air is great, but let's face it-it's a big luxury sedan in a world where sedan buyers are becoming fewer and fewer. Lucid's latest model, the Gravity, promises to right the ship with wider appeal, in the form of a three-row luxury SUV."
"Our Gravity loans may slightly differ in color or possibly optional equipment, but it looks like they'll all follow the same baseline Grand Touring trim. This means our cars will have a base price of at least $94,900 (before destination fee). These SUVs come with a dual motor setup fed by a 123-kilowatt-hour battery, good for an EPA estimated 450 miles of range."
The electric vehicle market faces difficult conditions including shrinking sedan demand, economic uncertainty, and reduced federal incentives. Lucid Motors targets broader buyer preferences with the Gravity, a three-row luxury SUV designed to expand beyond the Air sedan's market. The Gravity Grand Touring starts at about $94,900 before destination and pairs dual motors with a 123-kWh battery. EPA-estimated range is approximately 450 miles while combined output reaches 828 horsepower and enables roughly 0–60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The Gravity's SUV format and performance position it as a pivotal model for Lucid's future sales and market relevance.
