Building a luxury electric sedan with world-beating aerodynamics is difficult. Packaging a seven-passenger luxury SUV that retains 440 miles of range without requiring an absurd 200 kWh battery pack is almost miraculous. Yet that is precisely what Lucid Motors has achieved with the Gravity.
While rivals like the Cadillac Escalade IQ and GMC Hummer EV resort to brute force with 3,000 kg curb weights and gigantic batteries, Lucid's CEO Peter Rawlinson doubled down on proprietary miniaturized permanent magnet motors and ultra-dense battery packaging.
Powertrain & Space Efficiency
The Gravity features Lucid's ultra-compact drive units, which generate up to 828 hp in Grand Touring trim while weighing less than a standard carry-on suitcase each:
- 0–60 mph: Under 3.5 seconds.
- Projected Range: Up to 440 miles (708 km) on the EPA cycle.
- Towing Capacity: 6,000 lbs (2,720 kg).
- Charging Velocity: Adds 200 miles in 15 minutes on 350 kW DC chargers (900V architecture).
“"The packaging genius of the Gravity is that it provides Escalade-rivaling passenger and cargo volume with the external footprint and drag coefficient of a Porsche Cayenne."”
The Interior: Sliding Lounge Seating
Inside, the cabin is dominated by a sweeping 34-inch 6K curved OLED display that floats effortlessly above a redesigned squircle steering wheel. The second row features sliding executive lounge chairs with integrated fold-out airline-style work tables.
When the third row is folded into the floor, the Gravity provides a cavernous 112 cubic feet of cargo capacity. Even the front trunk ('frunk') is large enough to double as comfortable cushioned seating for two adults at tailgate events.
Starting at under $80,000 in the US, the Lucid Gravity stands as the most compelling luxury EV family hauler ever conceived.
