Peter Rawlinson, the CEO of the EV maker Lucid Motors, announced on Tuesday that the Grand Touring variant of the company’s Gravity SUV has received an official EPA-estimated range of 450 miles. Lucid started production of the SUV last week at its plant in Casa Grande, Arizona.
“Following last week’s official start of production, I am delighted to share the Lucid Gravity Grand Touring SUV has received an official EPA-estimated range of 450 miles,” Rawlinson wrote on LinkedIn.
The company announced in November that the Grand Touring variant — priced from $94,900 would be the first to be produced, with the Lucid Gravity Touring variant planned for late 2025, with pricing starting at $79,900.
Last week, the chief executive shared a video driving the first unit, set to be delivered to U.S. customers soon, off the production line. The company has not yet announced the exact date for the initial deliveries.
Sales in Europe are set to begin in mid-2025, with the first deliveries expected in early 2026, according to Alexander Lutz, the former Managing Director of the European market, who disclosed the timeline last month.
Here’s the video shared by Peter Rawlinson last week driving the first production units of the Gravity SUV.
Revealed at the LA Auto Show in November 2023, the pre-production of the SUV, which can fit up to seven occupants, began in late July at Lucid’s factory in Casa Grande, Arizona.
Although pricing details for the European markets were not yet unveiled, the executive said the company’s goal “is to price the Gravity as close to the Air as possible” noting that the model “starts at €85,000.”
