Lucid Announces "Gravity" Electric SUV to be Launched in 2024

Lucid provided an update Tuesday on its plans for the Gravity, more than two years after the electric SUV was first announced.

Gravity is a high-end SUV that shares platform and styling with the Lucid Air sedan, which the company plans to deliver in 2024.

It seats up to seven passengers in three rows of seats. There will also be a choice of two rows of seats for five passengers and three rows of seats for six passengers, with two reclining seats in the second row.

Gravity will also feature an airy glass roof, and Lucid confirmed that the SUV will feature a next-generation digital dash with the company's new user interface, first detailed in October. The new interface is said to be more intuitive than Lucid's original design and will introduce Lucid's hands-free driving assistance features for highways.

Lucid has not yet finalized specifications for the Gravity, but owners can expect several grades to offer more range than any other EV on the market, with the exception of Lucid's own Air sedan, which is rated up to 520 miles by the EPA.

"Gravity will build on everything we have accomplished to date and further advance our in-house technology to create a luxury performance SUV like no other," Peter Rawlinson, Lucid's CEO and chief technology officer, said in a statement.

Reservations for the Gravity will begin in early 2023, and production will begin the same year at Lucid's plant in Casa Grande, Arizona, where the Air is built.
