The luxurious Lucid Air might be expensive, but it is rather good. But one model alone is not enough to sustain a car company, particularly when that model is a sedan, a form factor now rather less in vogue than it once was. Lucid’s next model will be something entirely more in fashion. It’s an SUV called the Lucid Gravity, and Lucid sent over a couple of shots of its newest electric vehicle testing on public roads.
“I am excited to see the Gravity SUV moving forward so quickly in its development, as it builds upon everything this company has achieved thus far and drives further advancements of our in-house technology to create a luxury electric SUV like none other,” said Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson. “The Lucid Air redefined the sedan category, and as our technology continues to evolve and lead the market, we are in a place where the Gravity is positioned to change the world of SUVs.”
Concrete details about the Lucid Gravity are hard to come by right now. Lucid says that it will be a comfortable seven-seater, with good driving dynamics and more range than any other electric SUV on sale currently.

By my reckoning that means at least 350 miles (563 km), which would best the Tesla Model S. But the Lucid Air can go as far as 520 miles (837 km) on a single charge, depending on spec, so a number starting with 4 might be more likely.
Lucid says the glass cockpit in the Gravity will be an evolution of the current system in the Air, which now features Apple CarPlay. (Are you paying attention, Rivian and Tesla?)
There’s also no word about pricing, but since this is Lucid, it’s probably best to set one’s expectations appropriately. Between $100,000-$120,000 might be reasonable for a lower-end Gravity, with early models offering higher specifications with significantly higher price tags.
