Lucid took its Gravity out into the wild for a weekend and brought it back as the Gravity X—a concept that lifts the body, widens the tracks, hangs skid plates, and adds a roof box with lights. If it goes into production, it could outrun Rivian on the first dirt road.
What actually is Gravity X? In short: a more serious SUV based on Lucid Gravity Grand TouringNew front and rear bumpers with tow hooks, undercarriage lift, wider tracks, skid plate, all-terrain tires (21/22”) and prominent orange details – all this so that the electric crossover doesn't get scared off by the first bump. There are even topographic engravings of Big Sur and Death Valley, the sleepers carry Pebble Beach coordinates, and the color is called Astral Drift (satin) and plays on a robust-elegant note. "...expands on these core principles to explore new possibilities off the beaten path..." summarizes the design chief Derek Jenkins.
Camper Tribe Supplement: integrated crossbars, roof box, where the media also mentions LED headlights on the bracket – so that you won't be surprised by darkness and coyotes at sunset on the dirt road. Interior? Orange stitching, microsemi steering wheel for better grip and wooden inserts, because even in the mud we can afford a little lounge.
It is the basis Gravity Grand Touring – so numbers that mean something: Gravity X
Power: to 828 hp (617 kW) from two engines and AWD.

Range (EPA): to 450 miles (724 km).
Architecture: 926 V.
DC charging: to 400 kW at 1000-V charging stations and ~225 kW maintained on 500‑V networks (also Tesla V3).

Display: 34-inch 6K OLED, available AR HUD and UX 3.0.
(Top speed? Lucid doesn't list it (yet).)
This engineering mathematics has another item that will delight lovers of turntables and geodesy: air suspension and rear steeringThe latter helps the Triton family combine to turn almost like a compact hatch and stay calm on serpentines. Chassis clearance in the standard Gravity it goes up to 9.3 in (236 mm); X add more lift and more robust footwear. Torque? Media trials indicate around 909 lb‑ft (1,232 Nm)This is already “hold the wheel and breathe” territory, regardless of the type of fuel.
Battery and efficiency: fewer kilowatt hours, more kilometers
Lucid doesn't like to shout about kWh, they prefer kilometers. A test records they report on 123.0 kWh gross and 112.0 kWh net – in practice, a great reserve for a vehicle of this size. Translated: less battery than some competitors, but more distance to the next coffee bath. This is Lucid's specialty.: energy density and low consumption. A working model, not a dogma.
X is not a rock crawler, but he is a very serious trail runner
Lucid doesn't promise the Rubicon on stock tires. New bumpers and lift improve entry and exit angles, wider tracks, skid plate and AT tires and lower your heart rate when the road becomes pixelated. Combined with the quiet drive, this means: Sliding on the gravel with dramatic music only in your head – not under the bottom of the vehicle.
Production, reality and the fine print
Gravity is already on the road with customers – wider deliveries began at the end of April 2025, after first supplying internal fleets and test drive showrooms. Lucid has meanwhile addressed some initial “hiccups” in the supply chain (especially in HUD) and updated the charging and compatibility plan. All of this is important because Gravity X for now it remains concept – Lucid has not (yet) confirmed the series, although it looking dangerously ready for production.
Competitors: who gets mud on the bumper?
If Rivian R1S has so far held a monopoly on the electric “outdoor” image, Gravity X it says that Lucid is not just an elegant urban lounger. It is American Zen with Californian cynicism: yes, it can go very far on a single charge, and yes, it can go where the signal fails.
Prices and equipment (USA) – Gravity X
Gravity Grand Touring: from $94.900; Touring: from $79.900 (planned later). Like all good things: prices are for the USA and without taxes and surcharges. Realistic? If Lucid approved X, expect to pay extra for all that steel, rubber and orange accents. But we'll see.
Conclusion: Gravity X
Gravity X is that one “what if” the car that the automotive world secretly wants: luxurious, efficient EV, which does not blush in front of the macadam and doesn't cosplay a training vehicle for Dakar. The foundation is solid – 828 hp (617 kW), 0–60 mph in 3.4 seconds, 450 miles (724 km) reaches, 926‑V nerves and +322 km in less than 11 minutes at a fast charger. Add chassis lift, wider tracks, chassis protection and AT tires, and you get SUV, which sounds like a calculation, but works like an idea: more freedom, less excuses. Will it go into series? Lucid he doesn't say that yet, but if he can with one concept on the lawn of Pebble Beach respectfully waved Rivian, at least this is clear: The electric adventure is here, and it can be very quiet, very fast, and surprisingly civilized.. When/if it comes X on the roads, this will be one of the most interesting EVs for people who measure their weekends in maps, not in visits to IKEA.
