Lucid Gravity SUV: Key Developments

Lucid Motors has begun delivering its first electric SUV, the Gravity. Production started earlier this month at their Casa Grande, Arizona factory after initial pre-production in July. These early deliveries were given to employees, friends, and family members, ushering in a significant milestone for the company.

The Gravity launched with one trim, the Grand Touring, priced between $94,900 and $126,500, featuring a remarkable EPA-estimated range of up to 450 miles. The vehicle follows Lucid’s earlier 2021 release of the Air sedan.

Earlier in 2024, Lucid announced factory expansion plans to support Gravity production. Upgrades included new assembly lines and facilities. The company also integrated the Tesla NACS charging port into the Gravity, making it only the second non-Tesla vehicle to feature the technology. In February, the Gravity was also spotted undergoing testing in South Korea.

This inaugural delivery marks Lucid’s bold step into 2025, aiming for a broader consumer market while strengthening its production and innovation capabilities.
