Lucid Affords Glimpse of the 2024 Gravity, Its Three-Row EV SUV

Lucid made some huge bulletins right now that embody some main additions to the lineup of its first EV, the Air. The most important announcement, although, was our first actual take a look at the 2024 Lucid Gravity. The Gravity is the follow-up act to the Air and the SUV that may doubtless carry probably the most new prospects to the nascent model.

After all, particulars of the Gravity are nonetheless few and much between. What we do know is that the Gravity will arrive in 2024, however preorders will start in 2023. Having an SUV in your portfolio is essential for just about each automaker lately, and that is one thing Lucid is clearly conscious of. The Gravity will function the model’s flagship, sitting alongside the Air within the model’s small however esteemed portfolio of automobiles.

Lucid claims the Gravity may have probably the most vary of any EV on sale, except for the model’s different fashions. A fast take a look at some EPA-estimated vary figures reveals that the Tesla Mannequin X at present holds the highest spot amongst bigger EV SUVs for vary. Tesla’s web site says the Mannequin X (when geared up with its smallest wheel possibility) will go 348 miles on a single cost. Clearly Lucid has its thoughts set on besting Tesla, and so we count on the Gravity to one-up the Mannequin X. It would even be the primary electrical SUV with greater than 400 miles of vary on a single cost when it is lastly put by way of the EPA’s take a look at cycle.

Different smaller particulars had been revealed, too. We all know it is going to characteristic an inside format that is much like the Air’s in its design. Anticipate the identical three-screen info show that sits above the sprint and the identical middle display screen that slots its method into the dashboard. The photographs additionally reveal a glass roof, a rear mild bar that mimics the one discovered on the Air, and a entrance finish that appears like an Air that is been scaled up. Different neat touches embody a second row that reclines method again for an added air of luxurious and leisure.

As an SUV, it is going to definitely characteristic all-wheel drive due to twin motors — one up entrance and one on the rear axle. There may also doubtless be a Sapphire efficiency variant that comes someday sooner or later with three motors, torque vectoring, and a few severe efficiency for an SUV. Will Lucid construct a sweet-looking hardcore off-road mannequin? We doubt it, however it will give the Rivian R1S a severe run for its cash.

Pricing, in fact, continues to be a thriller, however we do not count on the Gravity to come back low-cost. A beginning value of over $100,000 would not shock us. The mannequin vary will doubtless begin with a Grand Touring trim with Touring and Pure trim ranges under it, very similar to what’s been completed with the Air. We count on to know extra concerning the Gravity in the midst of 2023, after we get our first full take a look at Lucid’s first electrical SUV.
