At present, Lucid Motors introduced the revealing date of its second all-electric automobile mannequin – the Lucid Gravity SUV.
The Lucid Gravity will debut on the upcoming LA Auto Present on November 16, 2023, becoming a member of the Lucid Air sedan, which has been available on the market since late 2021. Lucid’s naming technique is to make use of the forces of nature. Air and Gravity are the primary ones.
The connected “Gravity Makes Contact” picture presents us with a little bit of the rear a part of the car. The design clues look like similar to the Lucid Air mannequin.
Lucid’s web site already had some idea/teaser photographs of future automobiles, together with the one under. Inside a month, we may have a possibility to verify and see the ultimate model of the SUV.
Manufacturing of the Lucid Gravity will start in late 2024, the corporate stated in a short replace.
Which means that Lucid has to deal with having solely a single product for a number of extra quarters Gross sales have been fairly flat thus far this yr (round 1,400-1,500 per quarter). Then, the Lucid Gravity will come into play and possibly will turn into the essential mannequin with vastly larger gross sales potential than the Lucid Air (folks choose SUVs over sedans).
To spice up gross sales earlier than the Gravity arrives, Lucid is providing particular 18-month leases on choose Lucid Air trims.
The luxurious Lucid Gravity can be competing with different high-end fashions such because the Mercedes-Benz EQS, BMW iX, Rivian R1S, and extra.
We anticipate that the specs of the Lucid Gravity can be similar to the Lucid Air specs, just because the identical elements and platform can be utilized. There’s a large probability that this would be the longest-range all-electric SUV available on the market. The Lucid Air exceeded 500 miles of EPA vary, so the Lucid Gravity ought to have the ability to cowl 400 miles on a single cost.
Efficiency-wise, a dual-motor or triple-motor, all-wheel drive system in all probability can be near as highly effective as within the case of the top-of-the-line Tesla Mannequin X.
Lucid’s robust facet is DC quick charging – the most effective available on the market, though one component remains to be unclear. Will the charging port be CCS1 or NACS? In late 2024/early 2025, it must be NACS (particularly for a brand new mannequin), we guess.
