Lucid Motors Launches Production of Gravity SUV: A New Chapter in Electric Vehicle Industry

5 months ago

Lucid Motors has taken a significant step toward realizing its ambitions in the electric vehicle market with the full-scale production of its Gravity SUV at its manufacturing facility in Casa Grande, Arizona. Following five months of pilot production, the company has commenced customer vehicle deliveries, underscoring its commitment to advanced technologies and exceptional driving experiences.


Specifications and Performance of Lucid Gravity

Pilot production of the Gravity SUV began in July 2024. The top-tier model, Gravity Grand Touring, is priced at $94,900 and boasts an impressive 828 horsepower with a driving range exceeding 708 kilometers, thanks to its large 118 kWh battery.


The base model, Gravity Touring, starts at $79,900 and features a smaller 92 kWh battery. Production of this version is scheduled to commence in late 2025. Despite criticism over the high price tags, the vehicle’s efficiency and performance have reinforced its market position.



New Aspirations and a Turning Point


Gravity represents a golden opportunity for Lucid Motors to expand its portfolio after relying heavily on the Lucid Air sedan. Backed by significant financial support from the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which has invested billions of dollars, the company hopes Gravity will become a cornerstone of financial stability and sustainable growth.


In Q3 2024, Lucid demonstrated tangible progress, nearly doubling its deliveries to 2,781 units. The introduction of more affordable trims of the Air sedan contributed to moderate success in the European market, opening new pathways for growth.



Global Expansion Plans and Competition


Lucid Motors is confidently moving toward global markets, planning to launch Gravity in Europe alongside the Air sedan. Reservations for the Gravity SUV began earlier in 2024, with initial customer deliveries expected in 2025.



As the luxury Gravity SUV enters production, Lucid continues its efforts to strengthen its presence in the premium electric vehicle market. With cutting-edge technologies and industry-leading efficiency, the company aims to attract a new customer base seeking vehicles that combine high performance and luxury, intensifying its competition with global leaders like Tesla and Rivian.
