Lucid Motors has finally set a date to begin taking orders for its flagship SUV, Gravity. We’ve learned that Lucid has maintained the initial pricing of Gravity below $80,000, which was announced when it launched. That said, another trim that’s a bit more expensive is going on the market.
Today’s long-awaited market milestone dates back to 2021 when the Lucid ($LCID) team first teased a silhouette of the Gravity SUV at the end of the launch video of its flagship Air sedan. Since then, we have seen sneak peeks at the Gravity before it was officially unveiled in November 2023, ahead of orders in 2024.
We got a close look at the new three-row SUV during a tour of AMP-1 in Arizona last January and even sat in the frunk. While we’ve awaited the start of official Gravity orders, Lucid has secured a fresh billion dollars in funding, confirmed the SUV will have a NACS port, and rolled its first pre-production models off its assembly lines this past summer.
Now, as promised, the Lucid Gravity is set to make its way to customers soon, and orders will officially begin next week.
Lucid Gravity orders to begin November 7, 2024
Lucid Motors shared a Gravity progress update today, which detailed a start of SUV orders for at least two trims, beginning November 7, 2024, at 9 AM PT. Lucid CEO and CTO Peter Rawlinson about the milestone:
There is a growing anticipation for Lucid Gravity’s unprecedented combination of versatility, performance, design, and all-around capability. This is uniquely enabled through our revolutionary technology. We look forward to bringing the world’s most advanced SUV to the world soon.
Lucid has a lot riding on Gravity’s success, as much of its expected sales will help fund its third phase of models, codenamed “mid-size,” which have promised to be the brand’s most affordable to date.
Speaking of pricing, Lucid shared that the initial opening of Gravity orders will include Touring and Grand Touring trims, priced at $79,900 and $94,900, respectively. The Grand Touring will begin production later this year, followed by the Touring in late 2025. In this newest release, there was no mention of a Dream Edition, Pure, or Sapphire trim similar to the Lucid Air, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see at least some of them at some point.
Rawlinson has previously teased that there will be a high-performance Sapphire version of the Gravity SUV. Still, the American automaker will likely hold off on that one while it gets the more affordable trims out to customers, much like it did with its Air sedan.
As the first to hit roads after orders begin, the Lucid Gravity Grand Touring promises over 800 horsepower and an estimated range of over 440 miles. Lucid shared that the SUV will have a battery similar to the 2025 Air Grand Touring, the brand’s “extended range” option that can handle charging voltage up to 300 kW and recharge up to 200 miles of range in 12 minutes. Lucid has said Gravity will be able to do so in 15 minutes.
Per Lucid Motors, Gravity orders will begin in the US only next week, and current Air owners will receive priority in taking delivery of their new SUV. Starting at 9 AM PT on November 7, customers can design, configure, and order their new Gravity directly from Lucid’s website.
Information about Lucid Gravity pricing, ordering, and deliveries for markets outside the US will be released later. In the meantime, here’s some fresh video footage on the Lucid Gravity before US orders commence.
