Overview
Some electric SUVs whisper. The 2025 Lucid Gravity roars — with 828 horsepower, 450 miles of range, and the kind of chassis tuning that makes you forget you are driving a three-row family hauler. This Lucid Gravity review digs into everything that makes this machine one of the most exciting electric SUVs money can buy right now.
Lucid has been turning heads since the Air sedan redefined what an EV could be. Now, with the Gravity, they have taken that same obsessive engineering and stretched it into SUV territory. The result? A vehicle that seats seven, tows 6,000 pounds, and still hits 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. That is not a typo.
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 828 hp with 450 miles of range | Grand Touring starts near $97K |
| Supercar-quick 0-60 in 3.4 seconds | Apple CarPlay not available at launch |
| Spacious third row with rear steering | Minor software glitches in pre-production |
| 120 cubic feet of cargo space (5-seat) | Limited dealer and service network |
| Ultra-fast 400kW DC charging | No base trim available yet |
Performance and Engine
Engine Specs
Under the skin of the Gravity sits a dual-motor electric powertrain that produces a jaw-dropping 828 horsepower and 909 lb-ft of torque. The 123-kWh battery pack is one of the largest in the segment, and Lucid has squeezed every electron out of it to deliver up to 450 miles of EPA-estimated range on the Grand Touring trim.
Charging is where Lucid flexes hardest. Hook it up to a 400-kilowatt DC fast charger and you get 200 miles of range in under 12 minutes. The Gravity comes with a North American Charging Standard (NACS) port built in, giving it full access to the Tesla Supercharger network. A CCS adapter is also included. No range anxiety here.
Driving Experience
Numbers are impressive on a spec sheet. But behind the wheel, the Gravity is something else entirely. The power delivery is butter-smooth — linear, consistent, and always ready. Stab the throttle from a standstill and this three-ton SUV squats hard and launches like it has something to prove.
We pushed it through tight switchbacks and flowing sweepers, and the body control was borderline absurd for something this size. Minimal body roll, precise steering, and a planted confidence that feels more Porsche Cayenne than people mover. The adaptive air suspension keeps things composed without ever feeling harsh. Credit the low-mounted battery for the gravity-defying center of gravity (pun absolutely intended).
Rear-steer actuators sharpen the turning radius and make parking lot maneuvers surprisingly effortless. It also means the third row gets more legroom between the rear wheelwells — a clever engineering solution that solves two problems at once.
Interior and Comfort
Infotainment
Slide into the driver seat and your eyes immediately lock onto the sweeping 34-inch curved display. It is gorgeous, sharp, and commands the entire dashboard with a futuristic presence. A secondary 11-inch touchscreen sits on the center console for climate and media controls.
The interface is slick and responsive, though we noticed occasional lag on the upper screen during our testing. Navigation graphics could also use a polish. Apple CarPlay is not available at launch, which is a legitimate gripe at this price point, but Lucid has promised an over-the-air update is coming soon.
Second-row passengers get their own 7-inch display tucked between the front seats, offering control over climate and entertainment. It is a thoughtful touch that reinforces the first-class-for-everyone ethos.
Cargo and Passenger Space
This is where the Gravity genuinely surprises. The five-seat configuration opens up a cavernous 120 cubic feet of cargo space. Even the seven-seater manages 114.3 cubic feet with the third row folded. That is roughly 40 percent more than the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV.
The second row is spacious and luxurious, with folding tray tables on the front seatbacks that are large enough for a laptop. Getting into the third row is a breeze thanks to a one-button power fold on the second-row seats. Once you are back there, headroom and legroom are genuinely usable for adults under six feet.
The Grand Touring trim wraps everything in premium synthetic leather and eco-conscious fabrics made from recycled materials. Front massaging seats deliver a deep, therapeutic experience that rivals anything from Germany. A frunk adds even more storage for smaller items, charger cables, or grocery overflow.
Safety and Reliability
The 2025 Lucid Gravity comes loaded with DreamDrive, Lucid proprietary advanced driver-assistance system. Standard features include blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control with highway driving assistance.
Lucid has also packed in a suite of cameras and sensors for a 360-degree view around the vehicle. The system is capable of semi-autonomous highway driving, though full self-driving is not part of the package.
As for reliability, Lucid is still a young automaker building its reputation. The Air sedan had some early quality concerns, and we did notice a minor glitch during our drive where one second-row seat failed to return to position automatically. For a vehicle approaching $100K, every detail needs to be flawless. Lucid service centers are expanding but still limited compared to legacy brands.
Pricing and Value
The 2025 Lucid Gravity lineup currently consists of two trims. Here is how they break down:
| Specification | Touring | Grand Touring |
|---|---|---|
| Starting MSRP | $81,400 | $96,550 |
| Horsepower | 828 hp | 828 hp |
| Torque | 909 lb-ft | 909 lb-ft |
| Estimated Range | 400+ miles | 450 miles |
| Battery | 123 kWh | 123 kWh |
| 0-60 mph | 3.5 sec | 3.4 sec |
| Seating | 5 or 7 | 5 or 7 |
| Towing Capacity | 6,000 lbs | 6,000 lbs |
| Ground Clearance | Up to 9.3 in | Up to 9.3 in |
| Cargo Volume (5-seat) | 120 cu ft | 120 cu ft |
| DC Fast Charging | Up to 400 kW | Up to 400 kW |
| Drivetrain | Dual Motor AWD | Dual Motor AWD |
Is the Lucid Gravity worth it? At $81,400 for the Touring, it undercuts the Cadillac Escalade IQ and offers more range. The Grand Touring at $96,550 is loaded with luxury features that compete with anything from Mercedes or BMW. Federal EV tax credits may further reduce the effective price, though eligibility depends on assembly and battery sourcing requirements.
Compared to the Rivian R1S, the Gravity offers significantly more horsepower and range. Against the BMW iX, it provides three-row seating and far more cargo space. In the electric luxury SUV segment, the Gravity is genuinely hard to beat on paper and on the road.
Verdict
The 2025 Lucid Gravity is not just another electric SUV. It is a statement — proof that you do not have to sacrifice thrills for practicality, or range for performance. With 828 horsepower, 450 miles of range, a third row that adults can actually sit in, and handling that makes sports sedans nervous, the Gravity earns its place at the very top of the EV SUV food chain.
Yes, the price is steep. Yes, the dealer network is still growing. And yes, the missing Apple CarPlay at launch is annoying. But if you are shopping in this segment and you do not at least test drive a Gravity, you are doing yourself a disservice. This is the real deal.
Our Pick: The Grand Touring. The extra range and premium touches justify the price bump. This is a vehicle you buy to experience everything Lucid can do — and right now, that is a lot.
