Automotive reviewers have released evaluations of the 2026 Lucid Gravity Touring, describing the electric SUV as a quick and agile vehicle [1].
The Gravity marks a critical expansion for Lucid Motors as it moves from luxury sedans into the competitive large SUV market. Its success will determine if the company can scale its high-efficiency powertrain technology for families and utility buyers.
The Gravity Touring delivers 828 horsepower and a 440-mile electric range [5]. It also features rear-wheel steering and a glass roof that floods the cabin with open sky [5]. One reviewer from Ars Technica said, "It's easily the most powerful street car I've tested" [1].
While the vehicle is praised for its comfort and roominess, some critics pointed to technical shortcomings. An author for MSN said, "It's just a shame that the software is holding it back" [4].
Reports on the vehicle's interior capacity vary. MSN said the SUV is built to haul seven people [4], while Driving.ca said it is a five-seat SUV [3]. The starting price for Gravity trims is $110,900 [3].
This performance represents a shift from Lucid's initial offerings. For comparison, the 2021 Lucid Air Dream Edition featured a window sticker of more than $180,000 and over 1,100 hp (820 kW) [1]. The Gravity aims to bring high-end performance to a more versatile body style at a lower entry price point.
Reviewers generally agree that the Gravity Touring is a "strong act 2" for the manufacturer [1]. The vehicle combines the agility of a smaller car with the utility of a large hauler, provided the software keeps pace with the hardware.
“"It's easily the most powerful street car I've tested"”
The 2026 Lucid Gravity's entry into the SUV market signals Lucid's attempt to move beyond a niche luxury audience. By offering significant range and power at a lower starting price than the flagship Air Dream Edition, Lucid is targeting the broader premium EV segment. However, the disparity in seating reports and noted software issues suggest the company must refine its user experience and communication to compete with established luxury incumbents.
