Lucid Motors of California today revealed the first few photos of its upcoming Gravity electric SUV being tested — in camouflage — on US public roads.
The Gravity is scheduled to begin production in 2024, with an official launch, specification details, and opening of the pre-order queue, all expected to happen soon this spring. In Gravity, the company promises “an unprecedented combination of spaciousness, performance and driving range,” enabled by Lucid’s combination of design and propulsion technology.
The first pictures of the model in development revealed Tuesday don’t tell much beyond what Lucid revealed, in a limited way, last November — although they do confirm It is acknowledged that Lucid plans to keep the front end very low with a rather high body, in harmony with the emphasis on aerodynamics. The treatment of the wide, slim front end looks like that of the Air, which has more lift points to the hood and the hood contour of the Gravity, resulting in a taller contour, which as we see from the rear photo also includes includes, wraps around the medium—perhaps a bit more rounded and less opaque than project gravity prototype it showed a few years ago.

That approach seems to have kept a tall, vertical greenhouse that would have made this car a viable third-row despite the aerodynamically sculpted corners and soft curved roofline.
As Lucid confirmed last fall, Gravity will introduce a new generation, high-resolution Glass Cockpit display, as well as the next generation of the brand’s software-based user interface.
Expect versions of the Gravity to come in versions offering twin-engine propulsion, as well as three-engine propulsion, with two in the rear. Single-engine rear-wheel drive versions are also possible. Lucid says the Gravity will be offered in a two- or three-row configuration, with seating for five, six or seven.

“Lucid Air has redefined the sedan category, and as our technology continues to evolve and lead the market, we are in a position where Gravity is positioned to change the SUV world,” said Director. CEO and CTO Peter Rawlinson said in today’s press release. Based on previous statements from Lucid, Gravity could be the king of electric SUVswith an EPA rating that can only be best rated by 516-mile Air Grand Tour.
Although some opponents are uncertain, including Ram 1500 REV . electric pickupcan reach 500 miles, it’s likely that Lucid will keep its edge in fast-charge mileage recovery on the road—about 300 miles in 20 minutes—thanks to emphasis on efficiency and exclusive propulsion sets.
Lucid has confirmed that the Gravity will be built with the Air at its plant in Casa Grande, Arizona.
