Quick, comfortable, roomy, and agile for a large electric SUV.

The short version

  • When 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.

What happened

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. Over-the-air software updates occur automatically.

Why it matters

Together, all the options raised our test vehicle’s cost to $107,200.
