Lucid Motors has just dropped a date for its much-anticipated Lucid Gravity SUV, set to make its debut on November 16, 2023, at the LA Auto Show. With the Lucid Air sedan already out since 2021, the company seems to be embracing a nature-themed naming strategy; first “Air” and now “Gravity.”

The SUV will make its debut at the LA Auto Show on November 16, 2023.

While the design cues of the Gravity appear to mirror its sedan sibling, the Lucid Air, what really caught our eye was the timing of the Gravity’s production—late 2024. Here’s why it’s a big deal: Lucid has been churning out approximately 1,400-1,500 units of the Air per quarter this year, which isn’t exactly setting the sales charts on fire. The Gravity, being an SUV, is inherently more attractive to consumers, making it a possible savior for Lucid’s moderate sales performance.

Lucid is clearly feeling the heat, though, as evidenced by their special 18-month lease offers on certain trims of the Lucid Air. They’re looking to maintain sales momentum until the Gravity comes along to potentially steal the limelight.

In terms of competition, Lucid Gravity is locking horns with some big players like the Mercedes-Benz EQS, BMW iX, and Rivian R1S. But there’s a twist. Lucid’s trump card might just be the range and fast charging capabilities. The Lucid Air already boasts an impressive EPA range of over 500 miles. If the Gravity even remotely approaches this, it could be a game-changer.

Performance specs are yet to be unveiled, but indications are that it will offer a dual or triple-motor, all-wheel-drive system. Add to that Lucid’s top-notch DC fast charging, and the Gravity could turn heads and open wallets.

However, an important question is, will the charging port be CCS1 or NACS? Given it’s a late 2024 model, it’s speculated to be NACS. That choice could be another distinguishing factor for the Gravity.
