GoKawiilWhen Lucid introduced the Air electric sedan in late 2021, the first Air Dream Edition I tested packed over 1,100 hp (820 kW) and carried a $180,000-plus window sticker. It’s easily the most powerful street car I’ve tested; the only vehicle I’ve driven with more power was a purebred race car with a third the mass, and it was on a proper track. Its combustion engine was also about 1,000 times louder than the Air, helping to remind us that “combustion” really does mean explosion after explosion.
For Lucid’s second act, the company debuted the Gravity electric SUV last year, and I’ve just tested the 2026 Gravity Touring, which starts at about $82,000 in the US, including the required destination charge.
My test model carried a bevy of options, including a 22-speaker audio system, the Comfort and Convenience package, third-row seating, a Dynamic Handling package (combining rear-wheel steering and three-chamber air suspension), a luxury seating package (bundling Nappa leather and massaging and ventilated front seats), and special metallic paint.
Also fitted was Dream Drive 2.0 Pro, an optional collection of active driver assists beyond the standard fare (adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and lane keeping, blind spot warning, and drowsy driver alert) to offer hands-free driving assist, automatic lane change assist, and even an alert to warn of impending curb rash while parking. Over-the-air software updates occur automatically. Together, all the options raised our test vehicle’s cost to $107,200.
Lucid also builds a more expensive Grand Touring version, starting at over $100,000. While the Touring uses a 16-module, 89-kWh battery pack, the Grand Touring’s 22-module pack delivers 123 kWh, and power output grows from 560 hp (418 kW) to 828 hp (617 kW). The Touring’s driving range of 337 miles (542 km) increases to 407 miles (655 km) in the Grand Touring, too.
