The electric vehicle market continues to evolve, with Lucid Motors making significant strides. The company has recently unveiled the Lucid Gravity GT-S a high-performance electric SUV that promises to deliver both luxury and exhilarating speed. Debuting at the prestigious Monterey Car Week this new model is set to turn heads and set new standards in the EV world.
While Lucid may have delayed plans for a more affordable, mass-market model, the Gravity GT-S demonstrates the company’s commitment to innovation and performance. This flagship SUV builds on the success of the Air Sapphire, offering a unique blend of sophistication and power. Let’s delve into the details of this remarkable vehicle.
The Design: Subtle Yet Distinctive
The Gravity GT-S retains the subtle and sophisticated lines of the standard Gravity SUV, but with a few distinctive tweaks. The most notable changes include a slew of blue accents on the exterior, such as the brake calipers. These blue touches extend into the cabin, with blue stitching and piping on the steering wheel, door armrests, and front center armrest. Additionally, the Lucid Bear logo is embossed onto the front seat headrests, adding a touch of exclusivity.
Inside, the Gravity GT-S offers a luxurious and comfortable environment. The only available option for the interior is the Tahoe leather, priced at $1,300. This choice ensures that every detail of the cabin reflects the high standards of luxury and craftsmanship that Lucid is known for.
Performance: Unleashing Extraordinary Power
What truly sets the Gravity GT-S apart is its performance. Equipped with upgraded motors, this SUV delivers an impressive 1,070 hp. This level of power, once reserved for million-dollar hypercars, is now becoming more accessible through high-end EVs like the Gravity GT-S.
Lucid hasn’t released the weight figures for the Gravity GT-S, but the all-wheel-drive traction allows it to hit 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds. While no quarter-mile time has been released, given the performance of the Air Sapphire, we can expect the Gravity GT-S to achieve times in the mid-9-second range, if not quicker.
Complementing the upgraded powertrain is Lucid’s Dynamic Handling Package now installed as standard. This package includes independent rear-wheel drive and adaptive three-chamber air suspension, which automatically adjusts the ride height based on vehicle speed. These features ensure that the Gravity GT-S not only delivers exceptional performance but also provides a smooth and comfortable ride.
Pricing and Availability
Lucid has opened orders for the Gravity GT-S, with prices starting from $125,900 excluding tax, title, license, options, and destination and delivery fees. However, the company has not yet mentioned when customers can expect to take delivery. This high price point reflects the premium features and performance of the Gravity GT-S, making it a desirable choice for those seeking the best in electric luxury.
Derek Jenkins, Lucid’s chief creative officer, expressed his enthusiasm for the Gravity GT-S, stating, “With Lucid Gravity GT-S, we’ve created a more expressive and exhilarating interpretation of the Gravity SUV. It combines extraordinary performance with the comfort, space, and versatility that define Gravity, delivering an exceptional experience for our customers that is uniquely Lucid.”
