The first customer examples of the Lucid Gravity electric SUV began rolling out of the automaker’s Casa Grande, Arizona, assembly plant Thursday.
The Gravity was first revealed in production form at the 2023 Los Angeles auto show, and it arrives as a 2025 model, initially in Grand Touring form with a starting price of $94,900 before destination. Grand Touring models target more than 440 miles of range with battery capacity similar to the Lucid Air Grand Touring sedan—suggesting not much more than 118 kwh.

A dual-motor powertrain is expected to deliver 828 hp from dual motors which, along with the range estimate, is in line with what Lucid claimed when the Gravity was first shown in 2023. The automaker said at the time that launch versions would do 0-60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds. A prototype drive earlier this year hinted at fairly sporty handling as well.
The Grand Touring will be followed by a $79,900 Touring grade, arriving for the 2026 model year. Lucid hasn’t confirmed any additional variants, but it’s possible the automaker will eventually introduce a lower-priced Pure grade and a tri-motor Sapphire performance version, matching the current Air lineup.
The first customer Gravity models have Combined Charging Standard (CCS) ports, but Lucid confirmed in September that the Gravity will get a Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) port starting in 2025.

Lucid will next move closer to the mass market with three additional models. The first will be a $50,000 mid-size SUV called the Lucid Earth, which is expected to start production in late 2026.
The Earth and Gravity SUVs will likely open up a bigger market than the Air, of which Lucid delivered just 2,781 units in the third quarter of 2024. Even that was up 90% from the same period a year ago, when Lucid was likely still working to ramp up production.
