Lucid is making its entry into the electric three-row SUV market more accessible with the 2025 Gravity, a model designed to combine family-friendly practicality with the performance and efficiency expected from the luxury EV segment.
The big talking point is the price. The Gravity Touring starts at $79,900 in the U.S., putting Lucid’s new SUV in the same broad pricing conversation as the Tesla Model X. While the Gravity is still positioned as a premium vehicle, the lower starting price gives it a much wider potential audience than Lucid’s more expensive configurations.
The Gravity is also an important model for Lucid because it moves the company into one of the fastest-growing parts of the luxury EV market. Instead of competing only with electric sedans, Lucid now has a vehicle aimed at families looking for three rows, substantial cargo room and long-distance electric capability.
2025 Lucid Gravity Brings a Lower Entry Price
The 2025 Lucid Gravity is available in Touring and Grand Touring versions, with the Touring serving as the entry point.
At $79,900 before destination, taxes and options, the Touring is $15,000 less expensive than the Grand Touring’s $94,900 starting price. That difference could make the Touring the more appealing version for buyers who want the Gravity’s interior space and technology without paying extra for the flagship powertrain and larger battery.
The price does not mean the Touring is a basic model. It retains dual-motor all-wheel drive, air suspension and the overall architecture that underpins the Gravity range.
As with other luxury EVs, however, the advertised starting figure should be viewed as the beginning rather than the typical final transaction price. Wheels, interior choices and technology upgrades can push the price considerably higher.
Performance Is Still a Major Part of the Package
Lucid has not turned the entry-level Gravity into a slow family hauler.
The Gravity Touring produces up to 560 horsepower from its dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. Lucid says it can reach 60 mph from a standstill in 4.0 seconds.
That puts the Touring comfortably into performance-SUV territory, even though it does not match the output of the Grand Touring.
The Grand Touring produces up to 828 horsepower and is capable of a 3.5-second 0-60-mph time. Buyers therefore have a clear choice: the Touring focuses on balancing price, range and performance, while the Grand Touring pushes the Gravity further toward outright speed and long-distance capability.
Air suspension is standard on the Gravity Touring, helping Lucid maintain the model’s premium positioning while also giving the SUV the flexibility expected from a vehicle designed for everyday family use.
Range Depends on the Version
Battery size is one of the biggest differences between Gravity variants.
The Touring uses an 89-kWh battery and can deliver up to 337 miles of EPA-estimated range, depending on configuration. That figure gives the SUV enough range for extended road trips while avoiding the cost and weight of the larger battery used by the Grand Touring.
The Grand Touring uses a 123-kWh battery and can achieve up to 450 miles of EPA-estimated range.
That 113-mile difference could be important for buyers who frequently drive long distances. For people who primarily charge at home and use the Gravity for daily commuting and family trips, the Touring’s range may be the more sensible compromise.
As always, EPA range figures are estimates. Temperature, road conditions, driving speed, wheel choice, passenger load and climate-control use can all affect real-world range.
Charging Could Be One of Gravity’s Biggest Strengths
Lucid has put considerable engineering effort into making the Gravity quick to recharge.
The Touring can accept up to 300 kW of DC fast-charging power at compatible stations. Under suitable conditions, Lucid says drivers can add as much as 200 miles of range in roughly 15 minutes.
The exact charging time will depend on the charging station, battery state, temperature and other conditions. Peak charging power is also not maintained throughout an entire charging session.
Another important change for prospective buyers is the use of a native NACS charging port. That gives Gravity owners access to the Tesla Supercharger network without requiring the type of adapter that earlier CCS-equipped EVs needed.
At compatible Tesla Superchargers, the Gravity Touring can charge at up to 220 kW.
The Grand Touring has even greater charging capability, with Lucid quoting more than 400 kW under suitable conditions.
Space Is Central to the Gravity’s Appeal
The Gravity is not simply a large EV with an extra row of seats. Lucid designed the SUV around interior flexibility.
It can be configured for five or seven passengers. With the seats folded in a five-seat configuration, the Gravity offers up to 120 cubic feet of cargo capacity.
That gives it a practical advantage over many electric vehicles that prioritize sleek exterior styling at the expense of usable interior volume.
There is also an 8.1-cubic-foot front trunk, giving owners additional storage space for smaller luggage, shopping bags and everyday equipment.
The available third row is likely to be one of the most important considerations for families. Buyers shopping for a luxury electric SUV often have to choose between performance, range and usable passenger space. The Gravity attempts to bring all three together in one vehicle.
Interior Technology Takes a Premium Approach
Inside the Gravity, Lucid has focused heavily on digital displays and technology.
A large curved 34-inch 6K OLED display spans the driver’s area, while the vehicle’s software can receive over-the-air updates.
Lucid also offers its DreamDrive driver-assistance technology, with DreamDrive 2 Pro available for customers seeking additional functionality.
The cabin is designed to feel more like a luxury vehicle than a conventional family SUV, although buyers should remember that many of the most desirable features may be tied to optional equipment or higher-priced configurations.
That is particularly relevant when comparing the Gravity’s starting price with competitors. A vehicle’s base MSRP can look competitive until similarly equipped versions are compared.
Gravity vs. Tesla Model X: The Real Comparison
The Tesla Model X is an obvious rival for the Gravity, but the two vehicles approach the luxury EV market differently.
Tesla has the advantage of an established global charging network and a long track record with large electric vehicles. Lucid, meanwhile, is trying to differentiate the Gravity through its interior packaging, efficiency, charging capability and luxury-oriented driving experience.
Price is another reason the two models are being compared. The Gravity Touring’s $79,900 starting MSRP puts it squarely within the range of shoppers considering high-end electric SUVs.
But the comparison should go beyond MSRP. Battery size, range, seating configuration, standard equipment and options can all change the value equation.
The Gravity also faces competition from other premium electric SUVs, including models from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Rivian and Cadillac. Each brings different strengths, so buyers will need to decide whether range, performance, passenger capacity, charging speed or technology matters most.
What the Gravity Means for Lucid
For Lucid, the Gravity is arguably more important than its price alone suggests.
The company’s Air sedan established Lucid as a serious technology-focused EV manufacturer, but the SUV market offers access to a much larger pool of luxury buyers.
The Gravity gives Lucid a vehicle that can serve as a family car, road-trip machine and daily commuter while retaining the performance expected from a premium EV.
The Touring version could be particularly important because its lower starting price makes the Gravity easier to consider alongside established competitors.
Lucid still has to overcome the challenges faced by any smaller automaker, including production scale, retail reach and brand recognition. But the Gravity gives the company a product aimed directly at one of the most competitive segments in the automotive industry.
Should You Consider the 2025 Lucid Gravity?
For buyers who want a three-row luxury EV, the Gravity Touring deserves attention because it does not require stepping up to the most expensive version to get the fundamentals of the vehicle.
Its 560-horsepower powertrain, 337-mile maximum EPA-estimated range, fast-charging capability and flexible seating arrangement make it a credible alternative to established luxury electric SUVs.
The Grand Touring makes more sense for drivers who place a high value on maximum range and performance. The Touring, meanwhile, is arguably the better value proposition for buyers who want the Gravity experience without paying for every available upgrade.
Ultimately, the biggest question is not whether the Gravity is expensive it clearly is but whether its combination of space, range, performance and charging technology offers enough advantages over similarly priced rivals.
For shoppers looking for a premium three-row electric SUV, the 2025 Lucid Gravity is now a much more interesting proposition, particularly at its $79,900 starting price.
