Lucid on Tuesday revealed a few more details regarding its upcoming Gravity electric SUV\u2014and it\u2019s promising to shake up the world of electric SUVs much in the same way it has with its range- and efficiency-topping Air sedan.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Gravity will be built on the same platform and underpinnings of the Air, and even though it will follow a taller form, Lucid says that the SUV will offer \u201cmore range than any other EV on the market\u2014other than its stablemate, Lucid Air.\u201d<\/p>\n

At present, Lucid Air driving range<\/a> spans up to 516 EPA miles in its Grand Touring guise, while even the base Pure and mid-range Touring<\/a> versions detailed today reach 425 miles and 410 miles, respectively, in dual-motor form.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2020, Lucid teased Project Gravity<\/a> (above), a drivable concept vehicle that previewed the design direction of the SUV. At that time Lucid design VP Derek Jenkins told Green Car Reports that the design was still very much a work in progress as the team aimed to find the right balance between a raised driving position, cargo space, and capability, while keeping it aerodynamically optimized at speed.<\/p>\n

Based on the set of somewhat obscured images released with this announcement, it\u2019s clear that the roofline and profile of the vehicle have changed significantly since then<\/p>\n

Lucid promises that the Gravity will offer next-generation Glass Cockpit displays, a new generation of its interface, and \u201ca previously unattainable combination of supercar performance and seating for up to seven adults.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is 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,\u201d stated Jenkins in a press release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Gravity will be offered in two- or three-row configurations, with seating for five, six, or seven. Based on the size of the Air, the Gravity is expected to compare very closely with the Tesla Model X<\/a>. The Model X\u00a0is also offered in five-, six-, or seven-passenger configurations, and it starts at $122,190 in its standard dual-motor form, with a 351-mile range and claimed 3.8-second 0-60 mph time. The tri-motor Model X Plaid has a 333-mile range rating and claimed 2.5-second 0-60 mph time, at a price of $140,190.<\/p>\n

Reservations are set to open in early 2023 for the U.S. and Canada, and the announcement confirms that a reveal of the final design will happen then. Meanwhile, the company says that it\u2019s currently \u201cfinalizing the vehicle design and specifications.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lucid says that the Gravity is due for production in 2024 at its Arizona factory.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
