The European electric SUV landscape is about to become noticeably more crowded and more premium. Lucid has unveiled the Gravity full-size, three-row SUV for European buyers at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, bringing its U.S. flagship-style hardware to the continent. While the Gravity promises class-leading range, cutting-edge in-car technology and performance to rival luxury rivals, its price tags are also significantly higher than many European alternatives.
What the European launch covers
Model on offer and markets
The first Lucid Gravity to be offered in Europe is the Grand Touring variant — the seven-seat flagship designed to carry adults across three rows. Initial availability is limited: Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Norway are the launch markets. Orders are open now in those countries, but customer deliveries are not expected until 2026.
Vehicle specifications
Platform and architecture
Lucid equips the Gravity Grand Touring with its proprietary 926-volt electrical architecture and an aluminum chassis. The dual electric motors power both axles, delivering all-wheel drive as standard.
Power, torque and performance
Output is focused on performance: 827 horsepower and 1,232 Nm (about 909 lb-ft) of torque propel the SUV from 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) in approximately 3.6 seconds, with an electronically-limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
Battery, range and charging
Energy storage comes from a 123-kWh battery pack. Under the WLTP test cycle the Grand Touring achieves an impressive 465 miles (748 km) of range when equipped with 20- or 21-inch wheels. Perhaps the headline stat for EV enthusiasts is fast-charging capability: Lucid quotes a charging rate that restores more than half the pack’s range — roughly 249 miles (400 km) — in about 14 minutes on a compatible high-power charger.
Design and interior
The Gravity carries over the same interior layout Lucid uses elsewhere: a minimalist cabin dominated by a floating 34-inch 6K OLED display and a horizontal pilot panel. Systems run Lucid UX 3.0 and support over-the-air software updates. Optional features include an augmented-reality head-up display. The package targets buyers who want modern infotainment, premium materials and a clean, tech-driven cockpit.
Passenger and cargo space
As a full-size three-row SUV, the Gravity places a premium on interior space. With the rear seats folded flat cargo capacity expands to 3,398 liters; with seats raised the usable cargo area is 780 liters. There is also a 230-liter front trunk (frunk), useful for stowage and keeping weight distributed efficiently.
Driver assistance, towing and chassis options
Standard driver assistance comes via DreamDrive 2 — Lucid’s suite powered by NVIDIA DRIVE AGX — which includes features such as 3D surround-view monitoring, adaptive lane-biasing and hands-free driving functions where regulations permit. The European-spec Grand Touring ships with single-chamber air suspension, and an optional towing package increases towing capacity to 5,500 pounds (2,500 kg).
Dynamic Handling Package
For buyers wanting sharper dynamics, Lucid offers the Dynamic Handling Package that adds triple-chamber air suspension and active rear-wheel steering. These options enhance high-speed stability and low-speed maneuverability but can push the final price considerably higher.
Market positioning and pricing
Lucid is positioning the Gravity Grand Touring as a premium electric flagship, competing with full-size luxury electric SUVs. That ambition is reflected in local pricing across the four launch countries. Lucid will also introduce a lower-trim Gravity Touring shortly, giving buyers a more affordable entry point into the range.
Launch prices (selected markets)
In Germany the Grand Touring is priced at €116,900, while the Touring starts at €99,900. Dutch pricing is €119,900 for the Grand Touring and €102,900 for the Touring. Swiss buyers will pay CHF 125,900 and CHF 108,900 respectively. In Norway the Grand Touring is listed at NOK 1,249,000 and the Touring at NOK 1,049,000. Across all markets the Dynamic Handling Package and other options can add tens of thousands to the sticker price.
How European pricing compares to the U.S.
For context, the German €116,900 Grand Touring converts to roughly $137,146 at current exchange rates — a substantial premium compared with the U.S. base price of $94,900 for the same model. Taxes, import costs and local compliance requirements help explain the gap, but the delta will be eye-opening for buyers considering transatlantic parity.
How it stacks up against rivals
The Gravity competes against large electric SUVs from established premium brands and newer EV startups. Its combination of long WLTP-tested range, very fast charging, high power output and a three-row layout sets it apart technically. However, rivals may undercut Lucid on price or offer broader dealer and service networks across Europe. Buyers must weigh range, charging infrastructure compatibility, towing capacity and total cost of ownership when evaluating the Gravity against models from established European luxury OEMs.
Conclusion
Lucid’s European launch for the Gravity Grand Touring brings a compelling technical package to the market: leading-range figures, rapid charging, strong performance and a technology-forward cabin. But this capability is bundled with premium pricing and limited initial availability. For tech-focused buyers in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Norway who prioritize range, cutting-edge charging and a luxury three-row EV, the Gravity will be an attractive — if costly — option. For more value-driven shoppers, mainstream European rivals could represent more competitive alternatives when considering price, aftersales and local service coverage.
