Lucid has revealed the Gravity GT-S, a performance flagship for its three-row electric SUV that the company says is now the most powerful three-row SUV in America. Producing 1,070 horsepower and sprinting from 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds, the GT-S borrows its philosophy from the Air Sapphire super-sedan and grafts that firepower onto a family hauler that still seats up to seven adults. Priced from $125,900 in the United States, it makes its global debut at Monterey Car Week, with orders open immediately.

Context & Background

The Gravity is Lucid''s second model and its bid for the fast-growing luxury three-row EV segment, a space it entered with class-leading range of up to roughly 450 miles. The GT-S extends that lineup upward, taking direct inspiration from the Air Sapphire, the 1,200-plus-horsepower sedan that established Lucid''s performance credentials. Where the standard Gravity is tuned for effortless touring, the GT-S is pitched as the driver''s Gravity: same cabin, same versatility, considerably more urgency.

The move also sharpens Lucid''s position against the only rivals that can match the format. Tesla''s Model X Plaid offers comparable power at around 1,020 horsepower, and Rivian''s tri-motor R1S makes up to 850 horsepower, but both trail the Gravity on range. By pushing the GT-S past the 1,000-horsepower mark while retaining seven-seat practicality, Lucid is staking a claim to being both the quickest and the longest-legged option in the segment.

Key Details

The GT-S retains the Gravity''s dual-motor layout but dials output up to 1,070 horsepower. Lucid''s Dynamic Handling Package is standard, adding independent rear-wheel steering for agility and low-speed manoeuvrability, plus an adaptive three-chamber air suspension that lowers the body at speed to sharpen stability. The result is supercar acceleration wrapped around genuine three-row space and cargo capacity.

Visually, the GT-S is distinguished by blue exterior accents and painted blue brake calipers. Inside, the Mojave PurLuxe Premium interior adds blue stitching and piping across the first and second rows, blue seatbelts, blue stitching on the steering wheel and armrests, a blue steering-wheel marker, and Lucid Bear logo embossing on the front headrests. Pricing starts at $125,900 excluding fees; a Tahoe leather interior is a $1,300 option and destination and delivery adds $1,850, bringing a base car to roughly $127,750 delivered.

Inside, the Mojave PurLuxe Premium cabin is trimmed with blue stitching and piping across the first and second rows, blue seatbelts, blue stitching on the steering wheel and armrests, and Lucid Bear logo embossing on the front headrests, pairing the Gravity''s spacious three-row layout with distinctive GT-S detailing.

What It Means for Buyers

For affluent families, the GT-S reframes what a three-row SUV can be: this is minivan practicality with the straight-line pace of a supercar. The pitch is that buyers no longer have to choose between hauling seven people and outrunning almost anything at a stoplight. Against the Model X Plaid and the tri-motor R1S, the GT-S leads on peak power and, thanks to the Gravity''s efficiency, should retain a meaningful range advantage even before official EPA figures for this variant are published.

The catch is price and audience. At $125,900 to start, the GT-S sits well above the standard Gravity, which opens closer to $95,000, and firmly in six-figure territory. It is a halo product as much as a volume play, designed to draw attention to the wider Gravity range and to signal that Lucid can translate its Sapphire performance engineering across the lineup. For most buyers the regular Gravity will make more sense; the GT-S exists to prove what is possible.

✓ Pros
  • 1,070 hp makes it the most powerful three-row SUV in America
  • 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds with seating for up to seven
  • Standard rear-wheel steering and adaptive air suspension
  • Class-leading Gravity range architecture underneath
  • Distinctive Sapphire-inspired blue design details inside and out
✕ Cons
  • Starts at $125,900, well above the standard Gravity
  • Official EPA range for the GT-S not yet published
  • US-only availability at launch
  • Six-figure pricing limits it to a niche, halo audience

The Lucid Gravity GT-S is on sale now in the United States, with its public debut at Monterey Car Week alongside the Air Sapphire in the Concours Village at Pebble Beach. Buyers can specify a car through Lucid''s Design Yours configurator, with first deliveries expected to follow the standard Gravity into customer hands. For Lucid, it is another demonstration that performance and practicality need not be a compromise.
