Lucid Gravity 2026 Review: Electric Luxury SUV That Delivers

The 2026 Lucid Gravity isn’t just a follow-up to the celebrated Lucid Air sedan. Lucid Motors has surpassed its predecessors and has worked to establish a new standard. The weightless SUV captures thrilling elements. This isn’t a regular SUV; the Gravity combines ‘next-gen tech’ and family practicality in a striking all-electric SUV.

Just to clarify, this isn’t an Air with a lift kit and a third row.

Thrill is now an added luxury in Gravity

The exciting first look is sleek. Unlike bulkier rivals, the BMW iX or Rivian R1S, the clean lines give it a planted stance. The Lucid Gravity, however, isn’t all about the quiet luxury. It’s more nimble than that.

In under 3.4 seconds, the Lucid Gravity SUV accelerates from 0 to 60 mph. This is all possible due to the dual electric motors. The SUV is packed with ‘supercar’ elements. It is set to deliver 828 horsepower and 909 lb-ft of torque. While the Gravity is capable of operating on a freeway, it is also able to ‘tear up’ a rallycross dirt track (yes, it does that too). The SUV can deliver thrilling elements while still maintaining refined control.

Plus, thanks to adaptive suspension, it’s somethin’ like riding on a cloud every seat adjusts. Smooth as butter. Best of all, the tech adjusts the suspension 500 times a second like a car on turbo at a brake light.

The most impressive claim? Range. While Lucid claims the two-row version of the 2026 Lucid Gravity can achieve 450 miles on a single charge (and 437 for the three-row), real-world testing suggests otherwise. In real-world driving conditions with all-season tires, the Gravity achieved around 400 miles per charge, which is still a considerable distance, but not quite as impressive as the moon landing.

Then, please switch to the summer performance tires, and it drops to 388 miles, but braking improves tremendously, as does cornering. For those who perform every day, bumps are inevitable.

Still, the best part? For the Lucid Gravity, it takes 11 minutes of charging to achieve a 200-mile range. With a 1000-volt electrical system and 400 kW DC fast-charging capability, Lucid claims. Lucid also supports the NACS connector (Tesla’s port), so access to over 20,000 charger drops.

Definition of awesome? Spacious, innovative, and stylish.

The moment you get behind the wheel, it’s like stepping into a boutique hotel, but in a car version. Lucid has mastered the Air’s minimalist aesthetic, making it both functional for families and more sophisticated and stylish.

A huge curved 6K OLED display measuring 34 inches is at the forefront. UX 3.0 interface upgrades, dynamic touch surfaces, customizable control touch surfaces, and the ability to receive updates “over the air” for sustained improvements.

The passenger capacity is 5 or 7 adults, with the third row in the class being the most accommodating for adults. The back passenger doors open to a full 90 degrees. The second-row seats are electrically sliding, and cargo space expands to 120 cubic feet when the ‘frunk’ is included.

The 2026 Lucid Gravity isn’t just for school runs. The SUV is also capable of enjoying off-pavement adventures. 9.3 inches of ground clearance, active Bilstein dampers, and a Terrain Mode allow the Gravity to surprise with agility at a makeshift rallycross in California.

Dirt drifting in a nearly 6,000-lb fully electric SUV is just a fuel-burning fantasy. It’s possible if you turn off the traction control to unleash the Torque beast. The 2026 Gravity will be a happy, dirt-kicking monster.

In comparison, rivals like the Plaid Model X Tesla and R1S Rivian counter the Lucid Gravity with the least unease. With a class-leading 38-foot turning radius, the Gravity makes city driving a breeze. Keeping Customers Safe Tech they can trust_

The company takes an advanced approach, with technology integrated throughout, including the specific features of the Lucid Gravity. The parts include:

  • ten 360 cameras
  • about 5 radar units
  • one lidar sensor
  • two internal cameras

Lucid asserts that the system can achieve Level 3 Autonomy, but currently, the system is limited to Level 2 hands-on assisted driving. The car is even capable of monitoring five traffic lanes to the left. It is worth knowing that such capability is still not standard even among advanced competitors.

Competitive Edge and Pricing

The 2026 Lucid Gravity begins with the two-row Grand Touring, which is priced at $96,550, while the three-row version is priced at $99,450. A more accessible version, the Touring trim, which comes with a less powerful battery, will be available within the year at a base price of $81,550.

For context:

  • The Rivian R1S comes with a starting price of approximately $78,000, but it is less refined.
  • The Mercedes EQS SUV is heavier and more expensive than its predecessor.
  • The BMW iX is more costly and less versatile.
  • The Aston Martin DBX 707 and the Lamborghini Urus would be significantly more expensive and have less fuel efficiency.

Lucid has achieved a breakthrough in combining luxury with electrification and real-world practicality.
