Stats for the all-new SUV are remarkable

By Gary S. Vasilash

The Lucid Gravity Grand Touring is a gorgeous three-row SUV. Seating for up to seven. Up to 120 cubic feet of cargo capacity. All-wheel-drive. Possible towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds. A peak power of up to 828 hp. A range of 440 miles.

A starting MSRP of $94,900. (In late 2025 the Touring trim will be available with a trimmed MSRP to $79,900.)

While the price may seem to be a large number and the range good but not amazing, Lucid actually has something here that subverts both of those notions.

That is, the 2025 Lincoln Navigator, which is a large, lux three-row SUV packed full of technology, has a starting price of $99,995. Just over five grand on top of the Gravity.

It has a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 that produces 440 hp, just better than half of what the Gravity produces.

The Navigator has an estimated fuel economy of 19 mpg combined, so with a 23.6-gallon fuel tank, this means it has a range of 448 miles—about what the Gravity will deliver.

Certainly it is quicker to fill the tank on a Navigator than it is to recharge a Gravity, the Gravity can get some 200 miles of range from a 15-minute charge, so that, and the fact that there is an available Lucid Connected Home Charging Station (so there is the ability to get a full charge overnight, every night, which is not something that can be analogously accomplished with liquid fuel), pretty much makes that a wash, too.

Seems like Lucid just may have hit the place where an electric vehicle is competitive with a traditional ICE vehicle.

Or maybe that’s more than competitive.
