Lucid Motors unveiled the 2027 Lucid Gravity GT‑S, a three‑row SUV that it says delivers 1,070 horsepower, making it the most powerful model of its kind available in the United States.
Performance claims and how they compare
The company’s announcement highlighted a 0‑60 mph time of 3.1 seconds. That places the Gravity GT‑S well ahead of most luxury electric SUVs, though Tesla’s Model X Plaid still claims a faster 2.5‑second sprint and a top speed of 163 mph. Lucid did not provide a top‑speed figure for the GT‑S, leaving the comparison incomplete.
At 1,070 hp, the GT‑S exceeds the standard Gravity Touring’s 560 hp output by roughly 50 percent.
The Grand Touring version, which offers 828 hp, sees a smaller 20 percent increase over the new model. The power boost comes with a standard Dynamic Handling Package that includes a three‑chamber air suspension and rear‑axle steering, features intended to keep the vehicle stable at high speeds.

Pricing and market positioning
Lucid set the starting price at $127,750, a figure that applies only to the U.S. market for now.
Compared with the Durango, the Gravity GT‑S offers a fully electric drivetrain that eliminates the need for gasoline.
In terms of interior space and luxury appointments, the GT‑S retains the Gravity’s emphasis on comfort and versatility.
Lucid’s chief creative officer, Derek Jenkins, said the model “combines extraordinary performance with the comfort, space, and versatility that define Gravity.” The statement emphasizes the brand’s effort to blend high‑performance metrics with the practical needs of families that require three rows of seating.
Range figures were not disclosed.

While the GT‑S’s acceleration is impressive, the lack of a disclosed top‑speed figure leaves a gap in the performance picture. Potential buyers may weigh the 0.6‑second difference to the Model X Plaid against the higher price and the benefits of an all‑electric powertrain.
Compared with earlier electric SUVs that topped out around 500 hp, the GT‑S’s horsepower surge mirrors the broader industry trend toward ever‑greater power outputs, a pattern that began with early models like the Tesla Model S P100D. The shift reflects both advances in battery technology and a market appetite for performance that rivals traditional gasoline‑powered trucks.
Lucid has not announced plans to expand the GT‑S beyond the United States, and no timeline for international availability has been provided. This geographic limitation may affect the model’s overall sales potential, especially as other manufacturers roll out high‑performance electric SUVs in Europe and Asia.
Overall, the 2027 Lucid Gravity GT‑S adds a new entry to a growing list of powerful electric SUVs, positioning itself as a premium option for buyers who prioritize both space and speed.
