California-based electric vehicle startup Lucid Motors announced the price of its upcoming luxury SUV on Tuesday and, as expected, it’s expensive. THE Grand Touring Lucid Gravity 2025 will start at $94,900 when reservations open for the battery-powered three-row next week. Too rich for your blood? Patient buyers can wait for the cheaper, but still expensive, Touring model at $79,900 to follow in late 2025.

Lucid’s luxury EVs are far from what I’d call “affordable,” but in its defense, you get a lot of car and technology for your money. Gravity will share its DNA with an impressive range of sedans, including the electric vehicle with the longest range you can buy today and the most energy efficient — the 512 miles Air Grand Touring Sedan and the Clean airis respectively 5.0 miles per kilowatt hour. The upcoming SUV should stand on high shoulders.

The Gravity will be Lucid’s more spacious second act. With approximately 120 cubic feet of cargo capacity split between the cabin and trunk, the electric vehicle will play in the very popular and highly competitive seven-seat, three-row SUV segment. The automaker expects the Gravity Grand Touring to boast “more than 800 horsepower” with a range exceeding 440 miles pending final validation and approval from the Environmental Protection Agency. These numbers match those of the full-size Air Grand Touring sedan, and using that sedan as a template, we can expect the Gravity Touring specs that follow to slightly reduce creature comforts, cruising range, and power. total (probably landing closer to 600 hp) to achieve its more affordable price.

Hopefully this also means we’ll eventually get an even more accessible Gravity Pure model (or, on the other end of the spectrum, an extremely fast model). Sapphire), but today’s announcement does not project that far into the future.

It is CNET’s policy to include destination charges when discussing or comparing new vehicle prices, as these charges are mandatory and unavoidable. However, Lucid has not yet announced destination charges for the Gravity, so prices are shown here without those. Again using the Air sedan as a benchmark, you’d have to factor an extra $1,500 into the bottom line when it’s time to take delivery.

Reservations for the 2025 Lucid Gravity Grand Touring open next week on November 7 at 9 a.m. PT (12 p.m. ET) on The Lucid websitefrom $94,900. The first examples should start arriving in the coming months, “late 2024”. Once production is ramped up, orders for the $79,900 Touring spec will follow with a late 2025 delivery window.
