Lucid has officially revealed its second — and significantly more affordable — variant of its Gravity electric SUV.
The 2026 Lucid Gravity Touring detailed Nov. 20 at the LA Auto Show slots just below the Grand Touring in range and performance. And with an $81,550 starting price, including the $1,650 destination fee, the Touring starts exactly $15,000 less than the Grand Touring.
Top-notch efficiency, to provide more miles with less energy, is a Lucid strength and it shows in the Gravity Touring even more than in the Grand Touring. The Touring trades out the GT’s 123-kWh battery pack (allowing up to 450 miles) for one sized at just 89 kWh and, yet, all builds of the Gravity Touring still top 300 miles of range. The base Touring achieves an EPA range rating of 337 miles, whether in five- or seven-passenger form. Choosing one of the larger performance wheel combinations drops the official range to 301 miles.
To put this in perspective, the fully electric Cadillac Escalade IQ needs a mammoth 205-kWh battery pack and has a curb weight over 9,000 pounds. And another spacious three-row EV, the Hyundai Ioniq 9, goes an EPA-rated 320 miles in AWD form with a 110-kWh battery pack. The Gravity is one of the lightest large family electric SUVs, at 5,794 pounds for the Touring, about 250 pounds less than the Grand Touring.
Lucid’s Zach Walker, who served as the director of engineering and chief engineer for the Gravity, summed to WardsAuto that the Touring essentially offers all of the same capability as the top GT, just with the lower battery and power specs. Since Lucid assembles its own battery packs and modules and manages them with its own software, there’s built-in flexibility and room for improvement, he hinted.
In Touring guise, the Gravity remains very quick. Powered by dual electric motors, like the Grand Touring, it makes 560 horsepower and 811 lb.-ft. of torque and can accelerate to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, according to Lucid. That’s just 0.6 seconds behind the Grand Touring, which makes 828 hp and 909 ft.-lb.
The Gravity comes with a Tesla-based NACS charge port and it’s ready to charge at more than 25,000 Tesla Supercharger locations. Versus the Grand Touring, which operates at 900+ volts, according to Lucid, the Touring operates at 700+ volts. While that makes its maximum DC fast-charge rate 300 kW, rather than the Grand Touring’s 400 kW, it can add 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes and can “boost” charge at legacy Supercharger locations at up to 220 kW.
Like the Grand Touring, the Touring is powered by dual electric motors, providing all-wheel drive, rides on an air suspension and offers a choice of several ride heights. The Dynamic Handling Package is a worthwhile investment for $2,900 because you get a three-chamber air suspension and rear-wheel steering, adding up to better high-speed handling capability plus improved low-speed maneuverability.
Fully loaded, a Touring will land well below six digits. A $2,500 Comfort & Convenience Package adds a heated steering wheel, heated wipers and heated second-row seats, plus acoustic privacy glass, rear side sunshades, active cabin filtration and soft-close doors. For $600 a Power Package brings AC outlets with a combined 1.8 kW, good for camping, powering tools or tailgating. Other noteworthy options include a top $6,750 Dream Drive Pro system adding a mother lode of driving assist features and 32 onboard sensors.
Otherwise, the Touring version of the Lucid Gravity offers the same 34-inch curved OLED screen interface and great packaging as the Grand Touring. Very wide-opening rear doors, luxurious second-row seats and an easy-to-access third row, make it a great people-mover. Second and third rows can fold flat for a vast 114.3 cubic feet and the frunk has another 8.1 cubic feet.
There’s an even more affordable Pure version of the Air sedan but Lucid is keeping mum about the possibility for Gravity as of yet. It has opened the Gravity Touring up to orders and deliveries are already starting. For now, it’s a smart move to bring the Gravity closer to the lower-priced Lucid Earth midsize SUV that’s expected from the brand in another couple years.
