The lengthy look ahead to Lucid’s first SUV is sort of over, and so we lastly understand how a lot it would price. The 2025 Lucid Gravity will begin at $79,900 when the Gravity Touring arrives late subsequent 12 months. In order for you one sooner, you will get the Grand Touring, which begins at $94,900 and will likely be on sale later this 12 months. Orders open subsequent week, on Nov. 7.

That is set to be a make-or-break second for Lucid, an organization that is bleeding money and closely reliant on continued funding from the Saudi Arabian Public Funding Fund, which owns a majority of the corporate. Its first mannequin, the Air, has been well-received by critics. But it surely’s a giant, costly sedan in a market that has largely moved on from that section. Regardless of world-beating effectivity and strong dynamics, the Air stays a distinct segment product.

It additionally did not assist that high-end variations launched first, with costs beginning round $169,000 for the unique Air Dream Version. The Gravity seems to be off to a greater begin, with a $94,900 beginning value that is roughly on par with the massive luxurious SUV section. Even a Lincoln Navigator or Cadillac Escalade goes for that a lot as of late. Although word that neither listed value contains the required vacation spot cost, which is $1,575 for an Air however has not but been introduced for the Gravity.

The Gravity additionally has different issues going for it. Customers love huge SUVs, and the Gravity guarantees seating for seven adults and 120 cubic ft of usable cargo capability, together with the frunk and with all seats folded. It is also going to maintain with Lucid’s custom of main the pack on vary. The Grand Touring will go over 440 miles on a cost, besting the longest-driving Rivian R1S Twin Max by over 30 miles. The Rivian R1S Twin Max begins at $89,900 earlier than charges, whereas the most affordable model goes for $75,900. As for extra mainstream rivals, the Mercedes EQS SUV kicks off round $104,000, making the Lucid a less expensive choice even in Grand Touring trim. The Cadillac Escalade IQ begins at $129,000, so the Lucid will considerably undercut the large Caddy, too.

The federal clear car tax credit score is offered for SUVs that begin underneath $80,000, although Lucid has not introduced whether or not the Gravity will qualify. Both means, although, all EVs can get the credit score if they’re leased, somewhat than bought outright. So that could be your greatest means to get your palms on a Gravity, even when Lucid hasn’t revealed leasing charges, which generally change month to month anyway. Provided that the Lucid Air affords a less expensive “Pure” trim and a performance-oriented “Sapphire” model, I would not be shocked if we see each cheaper and dearer trims sooner or later.

When you do need a Gravity, word that present Lucid homeowners will get the primary deliveries. That is just like Rivian’s technique with the upcoming R2 launch, and helps the businesses make sure that early-production vehicles go to true followers, who will doubtless be extra affected person if there are kinks to be labored out. It additionally rewards the purchasers’ loyalty. New and returning Lucid prospects can configure their Gravity on the model’s web site beginning Nov. 7, with deliveries to begin by the tip of the 12 months.
