Lucid has started building the Gravity GT-S, the 1,070-horsepower three-row SUV, at Casa Grande, Arizona. Nick Twork, Lucid’s head of communications, posted photos on X on October 25 of “some of the first production Lucid Gravity GT-S units on the line,” and wrote that “these will be shipping soon.”
That is the first update from Lucid on GT-S production since orders opened August 13, as EV (eletric-vehicles.com) reported. Lucid still has not published a formal start-of-production date or a first-delivery date. Its Gravity GT-S page says “Available late 2026.” On Lucid’s own numbers, the GT-S is the cheapest Gravity per horsepower and the most expensive per mile of range.
GT-S specs and price
The GT-S sits above the Touring and Grand Touring in the 2027 Gravity lineup. Lucid’s figures:
- Power: 1,070 hp from two motors
- 0 to 60 mph: 3.1 seconds
- Top speed: 155 mph
- Range: projected 373 miles (EPA estimate still pending)
- Charging: about 200 miles in 14 minutes, which varies by configuration
- Price: from $125,900 before destination
It comes with rear-wheel steering and a three-chamber adaptive air suspension as standard through Lucid’s Dynamic Handling Package, plus Enhanced Launch Mode and a native NACS port. Outside, it gets blue brake calipers and accents. Inside, blue seat belts and stitching.
The GT-S is US-only, per Lucid’s launch release. Lucid has not said whether it will sell elsewhere. European buyers can still order the Touring and Grand Touring; we covered French Gravity prices earlier this month.
The 1,070 hp figure matches the Gravity Dream Edition, the launch trim Lucid dropped for 2027 that started at $139,900. The GT-S brings that power back for $14,000 less.
How the three Gravity trims compare
2027 lineup from Lucid’s comparison table, plus two columns we calculated from base price before destination (rough guides, not quotes):
| Trim | Starting price | Power | 0-60 mph | Range | Charge to 200 mi | Price per hp (EM calc) | Price per mile of range (EM calc) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Touring | $79,900 | 560 hp | 4.0 s | Up to 337 mi (EPA) | 15 min | $143 | $237 |
| Grand Touring | $98,900 | 828 hp | 3.4 s | Up to 450 mi (EPA) | Under 11 min | $119 | $220 |
| GT-S | $125,900 | 1,070 hp | 3.1 s | 373 mi (projected) | 14 min | $118 | $338 |

The Grand Touring wins on dollars per mile of range and on charge time. The GT-S wins dollars per horsepower by about a dollar, and that is the only cost column it wins.
Grand Touring to GT-S for $27,000 more
The step from Grand Touring to GT-S is $27,000 before options.
You get 242 more horsepower, about 0.3 seconds off 0 to 60 (3.4 to 3.1), the Dynamic Handling hardware as standard, and the blue GT-S trim pieces. EV reports Dynamic Handling is an option on the other Gravity trims, so you can put the same rear-steer and air suspension on a Grand Touring without buying the extra power.
You give up about 77 miles of range on paper (450 EPA vs 373 projected) and a few minutes at a fast charger (about 14 minutes to add 200 miles vs under 11 for the Grand Touring).
EV reports the range gap is mostly wheels. The GT-S uses the same large battery as the Grand Touring, but it ships on 21-inch front and 22-inch rear wheels or larger. The Grand Touring’s range figure uses its smaller 20- and 21-inch set. Bigger wheels cut efficiency every day, not only when you use the extra power.
If most of your miles are school runs, commuting, and highway trips, the Grand Touring’s range and faster charging matter more than the GT-S’s power. Buy the GT-S if you want the most powerful Gravity and its look, and you do not drive far enough for the range gap to matter.
Who should order which Gravity
- Touring ($79,900): local driving, lowest price into the Gravity’s space and cabin. 337 miles still covers most road-trip legs between fast chargers.
- Grand Touring ($98,900): most range, quickest charging, 828 hp. The trim that fits the most buyers.
- GT-S ($125,900): top power, standard handling hardware, and the look, for $27,000 over the Grand Touring. If road trips matter a lot, wait for the official EPA range before you finalize.
Charging and road trips
Every Gravity has a native NACS port, so it plugs into Tesla Superchargers in North America with no adapter.
Lucid quotes charge time to 200 miles instead of a 10 to 80 percent time. That is the number that matters on a trip. For the GT-S, plan on about 14 minutes; EV notes that figure assumes a 400 kW charger, so slower stations take longer. The Grand Touring needs under 11 minutes for the same distance.
GT-S vs Rivian R1S Quad
The other American three-row EV with more than 1,000 hp is Rivian’s R1S Quad. On Rivian’s comparison page, it starts at $121,990 with 1,025 hp, an EPA-estimated 374 miles, and 0 to 60 as quick as 2.6 seconds on 22-inch Super Sport tires in Launch Mode. Rivian rates towing at 7,700 pounds. EV reports 6,000 pounds for the GT-S with its optional tow package, and a 400 kW peak charge rate for the Gravity GT-S against 220 kW for the Rivian.
The Rivian is quicker to 60, tows more, and is built for off-road. Its rated range is about the same as the GT-S projection. The Lucid has more peak power on paper, charges faster, and is aimed at highway comfort and cabin space.
When will GT-S deliveries start?
Lucid has not said. The page still says “late 2026.” Twork’s post only says the first cars “will be shipping soon.” Lucid’s third-quarter results call is November 9, which is the next scheduled chance for a timing update.
Casa Grande has capacity. Lucid’s third-quarter production and delivery release put the quarter at 2,954 built and 3,806 delivered, with the plant on one shift since Lucid cut the second in June. A low-volume trim like the GT-S should not strain that. Watch for Lucid to confirm first customer deliveries.
If you already ordered one
- Watch your Lucid account for a delivery window. There is no public schedule.
- Wait for the EPA range if range decides the order. The 373-mile figure is Lucid’s projection.
- If you ordered the GT-S mainly for air suspension and rear-wheel steering, price a Grand Touring with Dynamic Handling in the configurator. You may get most of what you wanted, plus more range, for less.
- Add destination. Lucid lists $1,850, which takes the GT-S to $127,750 before taxes and fees.
The GT-S puts Dream Edition power back in the lineup for less money. For most Gravity shoppers, the Grand Touring is still the better buy.
