Gravity

The Lucid Gravity enters the electric SUV segment as a halo product from the brand behind the range-record-setting Air sedan. Built on the same LEAP platform, it seats up to seven and carries forward Lucid's core engineering strengths: industry-leading energy efficiency and a spacious, airy cabin. Reviewers have flagged the Grand Touring's 450-mile EPA range as the highest ever certified for an electric SUV, while the interior's panoramic glass roof and unconventional dashboard layout have drawn consistent attention as genuine differentiators in a crowded field.

Grand Touring's 450-mile EPA-certified range is the highest of any electric SUV on sale, meaningfully reducing range anxiety on long trips

Grand Touring accelerates 0–60 mph in 3.4 seconds and Touring in 4.2 seconds, competitive with performance-focused rivals like the Rivian R1S

Cabin packaging is class-leading: a third-row that accommodates adults and a front trunk supplement the main cargo area, all within SUV dimensions

Lucid's in-house 900V-capable charging architecture supports fast DC charging, consistent with the efficiency-per-kWh advantage that reviewers noted on the Air

Interior quality and the expansive SkyGlass roof have been cited by early reviewers as on par with or exceeding Mercedes EQS SUV at a comparable price

Pricing is steep: Touring starts at $79,900 and Grand Touring at $96,550, placing it above the Rivian R1S and Tesla Model X in base cost

Lucid's service and retail network remains limited compared to Tesla or established luxury brands, a practical concern for owners outside major metro areas

The unconventional interior interface and floating-screen layout have divided reviewers, with some finding the controls unintuitive compared to more established designs

As a first-year model from a low-volume manufacturer, long-term reliability data is absent and early production quality has historically been variable for Lucid vehicles

The Rivian R1S is a three-row electric SUV that competes with the Cadillac Escalade IQ and Mercedes EQS SUV while appealing to buyers who actually want to use their vehicles off-road. Built on Rivian's skateboard platform shared with the R1T pickup, it combines genuine trail capability with a spacious, premium interior. Reviewers at MotorTrend and Car and Driver consistently single out its quad-zone air suspension and tank-turn-capable software as features no other luxury electric SUV matches, while the Dual Large trim's 352-mile EPA range draws particular praise for long-haul usability.

Dual Large trim achieves 352 miles EPA range, and the Dual Max extends that to 410 miles — among the highest in the class for a three-row SUV

Tri Max and Quad Max trims hit 0–60 in 3.0s and 2.6s respectively, with up to 1,025 hp, rivaling performance SUVs costing significantly more

Standard air suspension with up to 15 inches of ground clearance and genuine wading depth up to 3.5 feet distinguishes it from competitors that offer off-road styling without capability

Interior build quality and material choices received favorable marks from Edmunds and MotorTrend, particularly the thoughtful storage layout, gear tunnel integration, and configurable flat-fold seating

Over-the-air software updates have meaningfully improved range estimates, charging speed, and off-road drive modes since launch, a pattern reviewers note as ongoing rather than one-time

Entry Dual Standard trim is priced at $75,900 for only 270 miles of EPA range, making the value case weak unless buyers step up to the $82,900 Dual Large

Rivian's proprietary charging network remains far smaller than Tesla's Supercharger network, and DC fast-charging peaks around 200 kW, slower than rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 7 on a per-kWh basis

Third-row space is tighter than in conventionally proportioned three-row SUVs of similar exterior length, a consistent complaint in long-term reviews from Car and Driver and InsideEVs

Quad Max at $121,990 adds 655 hp and drops 0–60 by 0.4s compared to the Tri Max, but range does not improve beyond 371 miles, making the top trim difficult to justify on practicality grounds alone
