Introduction to the 2026 Lucid Gravity
For the past couple of years, the Lucid Air has consistently been one of the most efficient EVs on the market. By reaching that golden 4 mi/kWh average during testing, Lucid didn’t just set the benchmark for what an electric sedan could achieve — it also proved that range anxiety is a thing of the past. Now, enter the 2026 Lucid Gravity, a bold electric crossover that reimagines what a 3-row SUV can be.
With a starting price of $79,900 that balloons to a staggering $123,950 as-tested for the Grand Touring trim, it competes against high-end luxury models like the Rivian R1S and Cadillac Vistiq, as well as mainstream alternatives like the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9.
Specifications & Performance
The 2026 Lucid Gravity Grand Touring is equipped with a massive 123 kWh battery pack and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup that pumps out an incredible 828 horsepower. It races from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds while delivering an EPA-estimated range of 386 miles.
Real-World Testing Summary
During a week-long real-world test spanning 236.8 miles, the Gravity achieved an impressive average efficiency of 3.24 mi/kWh, outperforming key competitors in its class. Thanks to its 900V+ electrical architecture and sleek aerodynamics, it pulled 3.59 mi/kWh around town and 3.68 mi/kWh on the highway.
