How does Lucid Gravity perform?
There are no half measures when it comes to performance: in its Grand Touring version, Lucid Gravity delivers 617 kW (839 bhp) and 1,232 Nm of torque. The result is a 0-100 kph time of just 3.7 seconds, and a top speed of 250 kph. These impressive figures place the American SUV in the category of electric vehicles the most powerful on the market, competing directly with icons such as the Tesla Model X Plaid and the BMW iX M60.
The key to this performance lies in the technical configuration With two electric motors combined with all-wheel drive, Gravity is as much about performance as it is about stability. The result: optimum traction on all types of surface, even in the most demanding driving conditions.
Lucid Motors is not content with just one version. Like the Air saloon, the Gravity will be offered in several versions:
- Touring 620bhp, focused on comfort and more efficient driving.
- Grand Touring 828 hp, a compromise between performance and autonomy maximum.
- Dream Edition Sapphire: almost 1070 bhp, for thrill-seekers. Sapphire (envisaged): up to 1234 bhp, an extreme version worthy of hypercars.
This range allows Lucid to cover a very broad spectrum, from families looking for space and efficiency, to performance enthusiasts wanting an SUV capable of competing with sports cars.
What platform is Lucid Gravity based on?
Lucid Gravity is based on the technology developed for the Air saloon, but adapts it to the specific requirements of an SUV. This technical base, which has already won awards for its lightness and rigidity, incorporates a battery of 123 kWh. Lucid uses a proprietary technology called Lucid Electric Advanced Platform (LEAP). It is distinguished by :
- Optimised energy management, drawn from aeronautical engineering experience.
- Power electronics miniaturised but extremely powerful.
- Modular architecture designed to accommodate future models (crossovers, saloons, etc.).
The major advantage of this platform is its low centre of gravity, despite the SUV's imposing size.
What size and interior space does Lucid Gravity offer?
Measuring 5.03 metres long, 2.00 metres wide and 1.65 metres high, Gravity boasts impressive proportionsIt's got all the features of the biggest premium SUVs. Its 3.03-metre wheelbase means it can comfortably accommodate up to 7 passengers, depending on the configuration chosen. Roominess is one of its major assets. In standard configuration, the boot offers 780 litres of usable space. With the seats folded down, this capacity rises to 3,398 litres. This exceptional load capacity makes Gravity one of the most practical SUVs in its category, ideal for large families and long journeys.
At the front, occupants benefit from a high, panoramic driving position that enhances comfort and safety.
At the rear, the emphasis has been on legroom and seating comfort, while the absence of vibrations and the soundproofing work mean that travel is totally silent.
How good is Lucid Gravity's autonomy?
The Lucid Gravity's autonomy is undoubtedly its most striking feature. L'EPA American estimates put the range at 450 miles, or around 724 kilometres. In the WLTP cycle, this is between 712 and 748 km, with fuel consumption of just 18.2 kWh/100 km. This exceptional performance is attributable to the vehicle's remarkable energy efficiency and large battery capacity, and literally crushes the competition, notably the Tesla Model X, which has a WLTP range of just 625 km.
By way of comparison :
- Tesla Model X 625 km WLTP.
- BMW iX xDrive50 619 km WLTP.
- Mercedes EQS SUV between 595 and 660 km WLTP.
Lucid's energy efficiency beats all its rivals, confirming its philosophy: consume less before oversizing the battery.
What recharging capacity does Lucid Gravity offer?
The question of fast charging is crucial for any electric SUV of this size. Lucid Gravity stands out for :
- The ability to recover 400 km of range in just 14 minutes from a compatible charging point.
- An integrated NACS (North American Charging Standard) charging port, already adopted by Tesla and set to become standard in Europe. Lucid Gravity ensures the simplest and fastest charging experience possible at any public charging point. This compatibility with the NACS standard, adopted by Tesla, will facilitate access to fast-charging networks.
What equipment and technologies does Lucid Gravity carry?
Lucid Motor sees itself as a technology company before it is a car manufacturer, and relies on cutting-edge technology to win over its premium customers.
Key equipment :
- A 34-inch OLED screen in 6K definition covers the instrument panel and part of the dashboard.
- A second touchscreen in the centre is dedicated to vehicle controls (air conditioning, multimedia management, advanced navigation).
- A wireless in-car entertainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- A Surreal Sound audio system with 22 speakers, created exclusively by Lucid.
The user experience combines simplicity with a high degree of customisation.
Comfort :
- Multi-adjustable seats with massage, ventilation and heating functions.
- Top-of-the-range finish including vegan leather, alcantara and recycled materials.
- Panoramic glass roof offering spectacular light.
In terms of safety, an arsenal of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) technologies comes as standard:
- Automated emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection.
- Lane-keeping assistance.
- Adaptive cruise control with stop & go function and lane centring.
