The Lucid Gravity GT-S has 1,070 horsepower and costs $125,900. This fast SUV is coming out as Lucid acknowledges its mistakes.
Lucid unveiled the Gravity GT-S, a more sporty version of its three-row electric SUV. The vehicle boasts 1,070 horsepower, accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds, offers a range of up to 373 miles, and starts at $125,900 in the U.S. plus a $1,850 destination fee.

The launch comes alongside less encouraging news from the company: Lucid has admitted to failing to meet deadlines, quality standards, and service requirements for years, with the cheaper mid-range model being pushed to the second half of 2027. For customers, this matters more than blue stitching.
Lucid Gravity GT-S: The Family Edition Sapphire
The GT-S is essentially an attempt to bring the concept from the Lucid Air Sapphire to a large SUV. The manufacturer refers to it as a “performance-focused” version of the Gravity, but the numbers speak for themselves: 1,070 horsepower, 3.1 seconds to 60 mph, up to 7 seats, and charging that can add 200 miles in 14 minutes. The maximum charging power is 400 kW, the same as other Gravity versions.
It sounds impressive. And it looks like a car designed for an American customer who wants everything at once: performance, family space, cargo capacity, and prestige. The issue is that it remains a vehicle priced closer to a Porsche or Mercedes EQS SUV rather than an affordable option in the EV market.
Standard on the Lucid is the Dynamic Handling Package. It includes a responsive rear axle and an adaptive three-chamber pneumatic suspension that lowers the car at higher speeds. Given its size, this isn’t just a cosmetic feature but something that can genuinely improve handling.
The interior of the GT-S differs mainly in its details: blue accents, blue stripes, blue stitching, and markings. Lucid clearly follows a “sports luxury” approach here rather than pursuing a radical overhaul of the entire vehicle.

High price; Europe not available for now
Orders in the US started immediately after the unveiling. The GT-S will be available only in the United States. The optional Tahoe leather interior is priced at $1,300.
Based on a simple calculation, the base price is around 460-470 thousand zł, and with the destination fee it becomes approximately 470-480 thousand zł before taxes and local costs. Of course, this is just an estimate, as the car hasn’t been listed for the European market, so there’s no point in pretending to use a Polish price list yet.
The launch covers up Lucida’s bigger problems
The new model arrives at a time when Lucida’s new CEO, Silvio Napoli, described the company’s issues quite openly. During the follow-up teleconference, he admitted that the manufacturer hadn’t consistently fulfilled its obligations, released products too early, invested too little in after-sales service, reacted too slowly to quality problems, and allowed decisions to become overly complicated.
These are strong words, but at least they’re specific. It’s rare to hear from a president of a premium brand such a direct admission that the organization wasn’t functioning as it should.
Lucid also reported a quarterly net loss of over $1 billion. It confirmed that its key mid-size model, internally known as Cosmos, has been delayed to the second half of 2027. Previously, the goal was a much earlier launch still within this production cycle.
The company claims that prototypes are already undergoing crash tests, aerodynamics development, cold-weather testing, as well as battery and powertrain validation. However, the market will not wait. The Rivian R2 is already on customers’ radars, and Tesla has added a three-row Model Y L in the U.S. In the “larger family EV” segment, time is working against the brand that is still building scale.
Lucid states it has around $3 billion in liquidity, but cash alone won’t fix its reputation. What’s needed here is consistent delivery of products, quality, and after-sales support.
The GT-S appears to be a very fast showcase of Lucida’s technology, but for the company’s future, it will be more important whether subsequent vehicles arrive on time and without any issues along the way.
