Lucid Motors introduces configurations for Grand Touring technology and California-themed options in its Gravity model, named LCID.
The Lucid Gravity Grand Touring is set to revolutionize the electric vehicle (EV) market with its genre-bending design, combining the full-size space of an SUV into a mid-size footprint. This luxury electric SUV, developed by Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), seeks to redefine sophistication and practicality, offering an unparalleled blend of high-performance, range, technology, and sustainability.
Power and Performance
At its core, the Lucid Gravity Grand Touring boasts a dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) powertrain that delivers an impressive 828 horsepower and 1232 Nm (909 lb-ft) of torque. This powerhouse enables a 0-62 mph acceleration in approximately 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph (250 kph). The vehicle's large 123-kWh battery provides an EPA-estimated range of up to 450 miles on a single charge, with efficient consumption around 3.6-3.7 mi/kWh. Fast charging is supported, adding roughly 200 miles of range in 12 minutes via Tesla’s Supercharger network using NACS.
Pricing and Availability
The Lucid Gravity Grand Touring starts at around $94,900 USD and is available in markets including Saudi Arabia starting at SAR 487,715 (~$130,000 USD), depending on regional factors. The model can be configured with two exterior colors (notably the launch "Aurora Green Metallic") and wheel sizes of 22 or 23 inches, with appearance packages like Stealth (dark trims) and Platinum (silver accents).
Production of the Lucid Gravity Grand Touring is scheduled to begin in late 2024.
Interior and Design
The SUV offers up to seven-passenger seating in three rows or a two-row option with enhanced cargo space (up to 120 cubic feet with the second row folded). The interior includes premium materials with five sustainable theme options inspired by Californian landscapes, such as:
- Mojave theme with bio-PVC upholstery and wood trims
- Yosemite with light earth tones
- Tahoe and Ojai themes featuring Nappa leather and eco-friendly accents
- Luxurious heated and ventilated 18-way power front seats with massage
A standout feature is the 34-inch curved LED display across the dash, combining the instrument panel and infotainment, complemented by a 12.6-inch center touchscreen for vehicle controls. The audio system is a 10-speaker standard, upgradeable to 22 speakers.
Technology and Sustainability Blend
Lucid integrates cutting-edge technology with design and sustainability by using eco-conscious materials (bio-PVC, eco-suede) and emphasizing natural inspirations in interior themes. The inclusion of advanced digital interfaces enhances user experience, while the high-capacity battery, efficient powertrain, and fast-charge capability underline sustainability in practical, high-performance terms.
The interior's elegant details, such as open-pore walnut wood and microsuede steering wheel enhancements, reflect fine craftsmanship balanced with environmental care.
