When the Lucid Air sedan debuted, it established itself as the undisputed efficiency king of the EV era, traveling up to 516 miles on a single charge and extracting more range per kilowatt-hour than any competitor. But the luxury market belongs to SUVs, and buyers demanded Lucid's proprietary powertrain technology in a spacious, three-row luxury crossover.
Enter the Lucid Gravity. Designed from the ground up on Lucid's second-generation platform, the Gravity is not a jacked-up sedan; it is an impeccably packaged luxury family vehicle engineered to solve every pain point of electric road-tripping.

The Efficiency Benchmark: 440 Miles & 0.24 Drag Coefficient#
Large, three-row SUVs are typically aerodynamic disasters. To overcome this, Lucid Chief Executive Peter Rawlinson and his aerodynamic team sculpted the Gravity to achieve a benchmark 0.24 drag coefficient—unrivaled among three-row passenger vehicles.
Combined with Lucid's miniature, power-dense electric drive units, the Gravity achieves staggering real-world range:
EPA Estimated Range: 440 miles (708 km) on Grand Touring models
Battery Pack Size: 118 kWh usable capacity
Aerodynamic Drag: 0.24 Cd
Peak Horsepower: 828 HP (dual-motor AWD)
0–60 mph Acceleration: 3.5 seconds
Towing Capacity: Up to 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg)
“"Where rival luxury three-row EVs require 140 to 150 kWh battery bricks to exceed 300 miles of highway range, Lucid achieves 440 miles with an agile 118 kWh pack through sheer thermodynamic efficiency."”
900V+ Ultra-Fast DC Charging: 200 Miles in 15 Minutes#
Highway charging stops in the Gravity are remarkably brief. Thanks to the native 900-volt electrical architecture and advanced thermal cooling loops, the vehicle sustains charging curves exceeding 300 kW deep into the battery state of charge:
Peak Charging Rate: 350 kW DC fast charging
15-Minute Recovery: Adds up to 200 miles (320 km) of real-world highway range
Bi-Directional V2H / V2L: Vehicle-to-Home power supply capable of powering an entire residential home during grid outages
Packaging Magic: Space for Seven Adults Plus Luggage#
Climbing into the third row of most luxury three-row crossovers is an exercise in knee-scraping compromise. In the Gravity, however, Lucid's ultra-compact drive units sit completely below the suspension knuckles, freeing up class-leading interior volume:
True 7-Passenger Comfort: Ample adult legroom and headroom in all three rows with full USB-C 65W charging ports and individual climate vents.
Enormous Frunk (Front Trunk): 226 liters of clean storage with an integrated two-person cushioned tailgate bench for scenic overlook stops.
Total Cargo Capacity: 3,171 liters with second and third-row seats folded dead-flat into the floor.
Up front, the cockpit is crowned by the ClearView Cockpit—a 34-inch curved 6K OLED display floating cleanly above the redesigned squircle steering wheel, accompanied by a customizable center glass pilot panel.
Starting at $94,900 (€98,000) for the Grand Touring trim, the Lucid Gravity makes traditional luxury combustion competitors and aging electric alternatives feel antiquated. It is the most complete, efficient, and technologically advanced family vehicle on the market today.
