Lucid Group has unveiled a 1,080-horsepower version of its Gravity SUV, targeting the high-performance luxury market. The Gravity GT-S starts at $127,750 and accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds whilst maintaining three-row seating. Order books are now open, though delivery dates remain unspecified. The launch comes as Lucid attempts to expand beyond the luxury sedan market, having begun commercial Gravity production in late 2024. Lucid delivered 3,953 vehicles in the second quarter, up 19% year over year, with revenue climbing 56% to $405 million. The company ended Q2 with $3 billion in total liquidity and expects to maintain operations well into 2027. The GT-S positions Lucid against established luxury competitors like Cadillac's Escalade in the premium SUV segment.

Lucid Gravity GT-S launches with 1,070 HP, luxury SUV comfort, and supercar performance. 5 hours ago Highlights. * Lucid Gravity GT-S launches with 1,070 hp and three-row SUV practicality. * The electric SUV supports NACS charging and premium luxury features. * Gravity GT-S targets rivals like Tesla Model X Plaid and Porsche EVs. * Lucid expects deliveries to begin toward the end of 2026. Starting at $125,900, Lucid is offering 1,070 hp in a family-centric SUV. Yes, the new Lucid Gravity GT-S has launched, blending luxury and performance into a family SUV. This new SUV from Lucid is a three-row, seven-seater that joins the Gravity line-up, which launched in 2024. Since the launch of the Lucid line-up, the American carmaker has added two new variants, giving users more options when shopping for a new family SUV. According to Lucid, the new Gravity GT-S will be made available for purchase towards the end of 2026. However, it is already giving potential buyers the option to start designing and ordering vehicles to their taste before the vehicle hits dealer lots. The Lucid Gravity GT-S blurs the line between A family SUV and A sports car. Lucid is no newcomer when it comes to speed and performance. In fact, Lucid has one of the fastest production electric sedans on the market, the Lucid Air Sapphire. The Lucid Air Sapphire took the world by storm when it officially launched in August 2023. It outperformed most performance vehicles, including the Tesla Model S Plaid, which at the time was one of the top-performing electric sedans on the market with 1,020 hp. Now, after the success of its electric sedan lineup and its mind-blowing Air Sapphire, Lucid is bringing those performance numbers to its SUV lineup. Only two Lucid lineups are available for purchase today: the Air (the sedan lineup) and the Gravity (the SUV lineup). The Gravity lineup is a luxury, three-row, seven-seat, family-centric SUV. This lineup's base model, the Gravity Touring, has 560 hp and hits 60 mph from a standstill in 4.0 seconds. These figures are impressive for a family SUV, but Lucid took things a step forward with the Grand Touring, which puts out 828 hp. With this vehicle, Lucid is already threading in ultra-performance territory, reaching 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Well, that wasn't enough for Lucid, as the Gravity GT-S makes 1,070 hp, bringing it on par with the Porsche Taycan Turbo S, Audi e-tron GT RS Performance, Lotus Eletre R, and Tesla Model X Plaid, just to mention a few. The only difference between the Gravity GT-S and these cars is that the GT-S is a seven-seater and is marketed as a family vehicle. Other details on The Lucid Gravity GT-S. Beyond its performance, this vehicle also comes with impressive features. Like other entries in the Gravity lineup, the new GT-S supports North American Charging Standard (NACS) charging. This means buyers can use not only Electrify America chargers and Tesla Superchargers but also any NACS charging station across America. This gives buyers confidence in fast charging, ensuring they don't sit at charging stations for too long. Premium interior and customization options. Buyers can choose between 4 exterior and 2 interior color options when specing their Gravity GT-S. The exterior color options are Abyss Black, Stellar White Metallic, Quantum Grey Metallic, and Supernova Bronze Metallic. For the interior, buyers can choose between Mojave Purluxe Premium and Tahoe Leather. The vehicle comes loaded with Lucid's Driver Assistance System and a Surreal Sound System. Lucid says that the Gravity GT-S will make a projected 373 miles of range on a single charge. This is more than the base Touring model and less than the Grand Touring model, which makes up to 450 miles of range. However, these details are subject to real-world testing, which will reveal its actual performance. Details on whether this device will retail outside North America aren't available yet.

Lucid unveils its Gravity GT-S at Monterey Car Week. The automaker says its 1,070 horsepower makes it "America's most-powerful three-row SUV" Published Aug 14, 2026 Article content * Lucid unveiled its new Gravity GT-S during Monterey Car Week in California * It features 1,070 horsepower, and Lucid says it's America's most-powerful three-row SUV * But while the Gravity is available in two trims in Canada, this third GT-S version won't come north of the border Article content Lucid has unveiled its Gravity GT-S, its newest all-electric model that it says is America's most-powerful three-row SUV. It was unveiled mid-August in California during Monterey Car Week, which leads up to the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance car show. Article content While the Gravity Touring produces 560 horsepower, and the Grand Touring spins out 828 hp, the new GT-S is rated for 1,070 hp, reaching 0-96 km/h (-60 mph) in 3.1 seconds. Article content Advertisement 1 Story continues below Article content Lucid said this gnarliest version of the Gravity was inspired by the Sapphire variety of its Lucid Air sedan, which hits 1,234 horsepower and 1,430 lb-ft of torque. That said, Lucid previously released a 1,070-hp version of the Gravity, called the Dream Edition, in very limited numbers. The GT-S replaces it as a regular production model, and at a lower starting price. Article content Despite the supercar performance, the Gravity GT-S holds up to seven occupants. It features a three-chamber air suspension that lowers at speed, and independent rear-wheel steering. Article content Styling cues unique to the GT-S include blue painted brake calipers, blue exterior accents, blue seatbelts, and blue stitching on the seats, armrests, and steering wheel.

In Canada, the Touring starts at $113,500, and the Grand Touring at $139,500. Article content Based in Newark, California, Lucid in early August released its second-quarter 2026 results and what it called an "operational reset." It plans to refocus on three key areas of cash and cost, customer and quality, and culture and team; and has "four strategic projects earmarked as top priorities for resource allocation and capital deployment." It made 4,774 vehicles in the second quarter of 2026, delivering 3,953 of them; and said that it intentionally reduced the number of vehicles it made "to lower inventory and free up cash."

Experience. Jil McIntosh is a freelance writer who has been writing for Driving.ca since 2016, but she's been a professional writer starting when most cars still had carburetors. At the age of eleven, she had a story published in the defunct Toronto Telegram newspaper, for which she was paid $25; given the short length of the story and the dollar's buying power at the time, that might have been the relatively best-paid piece she's ever written. An old-car enthusiast who owns a 1947 Cadillac and 1949 Studebaker truck, she began her writing career crafting stories for antique-car and hot-rod car club magazines. When the Ontario-based newspaper Old Autos started up in 1987, dedicated to the antique-car hobby, she became a columnist starting with its second issue; the newspaper is still around and she still writes for it. Not long after the Toronto Star launched its Wheels section in 1986 - the first Canadian newspaper to include an auto section - she became one of its regular writers. She started out writing feature stories, and then added "new-vehicle reviewer" to her resume in 1999. She stayed with Wheels, in print and later digital as well, until the publication made a cost-cutting decision to shed its freelance writers. She joined Driving.ca the very next day. In addition to Driving.ca, she writes for industry-focused publications, including Automotive News Canada and Autosphere. Over the years, her automotive work also appeared in such publications as Cars & Parts, Street Rodder, Canadian Hot Rods, AutoTrader, Sharp, Taxi News, Maclean's, The Chicago Tribune, Forbes Wheels, Canadian Driver, Sympatico Autos, and Reader's Digest. Her non-automotive work, covering such topics as travel, food and drink, rural living, fountain pen collecting, and celebrity interviews, has appeared in publications including Harrowsmith, Where New Orleans, Pen World, The Book for Men, Rural Delivery, and Gambit.

A Dream no longer: Lucid unveils the 1070-HP Gravity GT-S. Andrew Krok Thu, August 13, 2026 at 4:00 PM PDT * The 2027 Lucid Gravity GT-S produces 1070 horsepower, enough to reach 60 in a claimed 3.1 seconds. * The electric luxury SUV comes standard with the Dynamic Handling package, which includes air suspension and rear-wheel steering. * The GT-S's $127,750 starting price is far lower than the Dream Edition it effectively replaces. Lucid no longer sells its 1070-hp Gravity Dream Edition, but that doesn't mean the luxury SUV lineup will live without a four-figure-horsepower variant for long. As part of California's annual Monterey Car Week festivities, Lucid has pulled back the cover on the Dream Edition's successor, the Gravity GT-S. Think of the Lucid Gravity GT-S as a Sapphire-lite, a rejiggering of the Dream Edition trim to better relate to the 1234-hp Sapphire variant found in the Air sedan's lineup. Its powertrain is the same as it was in the Dream Edition, wielding two electric motors producing a combined 1070 horsepower. Lucid estimates a 60-mph sprint of 3.1 seconds, which is exactly what a 2026 Gravity Dream Edition managed at its test track; given the similarities between the two models, Incite D don't expect that to change. The Gravity GT-S should be a decent handler. It comes standard with Lucid's Dynamic Handling package, which adds rear-wheel steering and an adaptive air suspension. The Dream Edition managed an impressive-for-its-size 0.90 g on its skidpad, a number Incite D imagine the GT-S will meet (or possibly beat). Whereas the Dream Edition didn't really have a stand-alone design language, the GT-S does. In keeping with the Sapphire's (sensible) obsession with the color blue, the Gravity GT-S is host to a smattering of blue exterior accents, including the brake calipers. Inside, you'll find that same color splashed across the seatbelts, steering wheel, armrests, and contrast stitching. You also get Lucid's bear logo - another Sapphire staple - embossed into the headrests. A leather upgrade is available for $1300 too. The last Dream Edition Incite D tested carried a starting price of $141,550. The GT-S, on the other hand, will start at $127,750, shaving nearly 14 large off the window sticker. Sure, you're still shelling out an additional $30K over a Grand Touring trim, but Incite D'll never complain when a 1070-hp car becomes more affordable. The order books are open today, but Lucid has not yet confirmed when GT-S deliveries will begin.
