Lucid Motors launches Gravity Touring SUV, starting below $80,000 [Video]

American EV automaker Lucid Motors ($LCID) has officially debuted the latest variant available in its flagship SUV model. The Lucid Gravity Touring has officially launched this morning ahead of a public debut at the 2025 Los Angeles International Auto Show. Initial deliveries are set to begin sooner than you’d think. Be sure to check out the b-roll footage below.

Even after its long-anticipated launch, the Lucid Gravity SUV has been a hot topic of discussion, and much of the American automaker’s future still relies heavily on its success in order to reach its third flagship model, codenamed “Mid-size,” which promises to be its most affordable to date.

So far, Gravity has been off to a rollercoaster of a start. Orders opened in October of 2024 with the Grand Touring variant, to be followed by the Touring trim that launched today. Gravity Grand Touring deliveries were temporalily halted in early 2025 before resuming in March. By August, it had reportedly only sold a number of the SUVs in the “three digit range.”

However, a number of vehicles were delivered to Saudi Arabia, and Lucid announced a major robotaxi project with Uber and Nuro that will include at least 20,000 Gravity vehicles, beginning early next year. By fall, Lucid announced it would extend the expired federal EV tax credit itself because of the massive backlog of Gravity orders.

Due to that demand, no discounts are available any longer, but production of the Gravity Grand Touring and soon, the Touring appears to be ramping up at Lucid’s production facility in Casa Grande, Arizona. Today, during the LA Auto Show, Lucid debuted the Gravity Grand Touring to the public ahead of customer deliveries.

Lucid Motors shared a press release following the public debut of the Gravity Touring SUV at Automobility LA 2025 – marking the trim’s official launch which includes a start of customer orders and immediate deliveries “for certain configurations.”

As initially promised, the Lucid Gravity Touring starts below $80,000 at an MSRP of $79,900 – a notable price drop from the current top tier Grand Touring trim, which starts at an MSRP of $94,900. Still, it remains one of the more expensive all-electric SUVs on the market, but also one of the most luxurious and spacious, with range and performance to boot. We’ve included the Touring’s specs below, but first, a quote from Lucid’s interim CEO, Marc Winterhoff:

The Lucid Gravity Touring unlocks a new audience for the Lucid brand in the broad and  critical SUV segment. There’s not another  SUV in its segment that can deliver the combination of range, interior space, and driving  performance found in the Lucid Gravity Touring.

According to Lucid Motors, the Gravity Touring’s platform architecure enables it to recharge up to 200 miles of range in 15 minutes (at 300 kW on a 1,000V DCFC). The company also explained charge rates at Tesla Superchargers, as the Gravity’s NACS port enables access to over 25,000 in the US:

When connected to a Tesla Supercharger, Lucid Gravity Touring can charge at up to 220 kW thanks to Lucid’s  proprietary rear motor drive unit boost charging capability, which boosts the 500V station voltage to match the high voltage of the Lucid battery pack.

In addition to the specs mentioned above, the latest Lucid Gravity configuration arrives complete with Clearview Cockpit, Lucid UX 3.0 and the option to upgrade to the automaker’s ADAS DreamDrive 2 Pro system with 32 onboard sensors.

As mentioned above, the Lucie Gravity Touring is available to order now at Lucid’s website. If you’re attending the LA Auto Show, it will be on display November 21-30. As promised, here’s video footage of the new Touring provided by Lucid.
