Is the Lucid Gravity the Best Family EV Yet? Plus Gravity X Preview!

If you’ve been waiting for a family EV that doesn’t feel like a compromise, meet the Lucid Gravity. Think sleek aero, real third-row room, and charging that actually moves the needle. No gimmicks, no spaceship doors, just a seriously sorted SUV that happens to run on electrons. Today we’re talking about why Gravity is special on its own merits, where it slots against the Tesla Model X for everyday buyers, and what the new Gravity X concept means for Rivian’s hold on the adventure set.

First impression: it sits low and impossibly clean for a three-row, and that’s by design. The stance is long-wheelbase, short-overhangs, with a tapered glasshouse and gently arched roof that reads more grand tourer than box-on-wheels. Lucid’s signature full-width light blade and slim LEDs give it a techy face, while flush door handles and aero wheels keep surfaces calm. Out back, a razor-thin, full-width LED light bar spans the tailgate with a crisp, high-tech glow that mirrors the front—simple, modern, and instantly recognizable at night. They obsessed over the aero, drag coefficient around 0.24—which is wild for something this roomy. That slippery shape isn’t just for bragging rights; it’s the foundation for Gravity’s long-legged range and highway calm. The less air you’re pushing, the less energy you burn—simple physics, big payoff.

Step inside and the packaging wins start piling up. You’ve got adult-friendly seating in all three rows, and both the second and third rows fold flat to create a proper, van-like load floor. With seats dropped, total cargo can stretch to around 120 cubic feet, and even with row three up you still have about 21 cubic feet for strollers and groceries—numbers that actually matter in daily life. Beyond capacity, the cabin feels airy thanks to the available glass canopy, while Lucid’s Clearview Cockpit puts a 34-inch curved OLED above the steering wheel with a touch-sensitive quick-access bar on the Pilot Panel—clean, thin, and right in your line of sight. The squircle steering wheel keeps gauges visible and hands relaxed, and the ambient LED lighting sets the mood at night. Practical touches are everywhere: second-row tray tables with USB ports, third-row cup holders with USB-C, and rear doors that open to 90° to make kid seats and adult ingress easy. And for scenic stops, the optional frunk seat turns the front trunk into a quick perch—very “why didn’t anyone do this sooner?”
Charging is the other big headline, and this is where a lot of EVs talk a big game and then leave you loitering in a random parking lot. Gravity rolls with a native NACS port, meaning it taps directly into Tesla’s Supercharger network without an adapter, and Lucid’s 900-plus-volt architecture + power electronics keep the charging curve hot. In best-case conditions you can add around 200 miles in under 11 minutes—enough to hit the restroom, grab a coffee, and get back on the road without staging a Sunday picnic at the charger.
Range? The headline number is up to 450 miles, configuration-dependent. Translation: wheel choice, seat count, and tires matter, but the big idea is you’re not planning your weekend around outlets. Pair that with the aero and the quiet cabin, and highway days start to feel normal—just with fewer gas-station snacks.

Performance is the real mic-drop. The Grand Touring tune brings 828 horsepower and a 0–60 in about 3.4 seconds, which is hilariously quick for a seven-seater. Step up to the 1,070 horsepower Dream Edition and it rips to 60 mph in about 3 seconds flat and the quarter-mile in 10.6 seconds at 140 mph—which is bona fide supercar territory, essentially neck-and-neck with a Ferrari 488 GTB! That speed isn’t delivered with drama; it’s the calm, bottomless shove you get from serious electrons. Add the available Dynamic Handling Package—a three-chamber (triple-rate) air suspension with rear-axle steering—and you can drop ride height to about 5.2 inches for aero/handling or lift it to about 9.3 inches for extra clearance. The thing shrinks around you in parking lots and tight streets, yet stays luxury-SUV plush when you want it and tidy when you need it.
