2026 Lucid Gravity Touring Preview: Price, Range, Launch Window

Last Updated: April 2026

A 2026 Lucid Gravity Touring is $19,000 less than the Grand Touring version of the same SUV, and first retail Tourings started reaching owners in Q1 2026.

Lucid confirmed Q1 2026 deliveries in its IR release (3,093 vehicles combined across Air and Gravity; no model-specific breakdown).

Gravity deliveries were underway but disrupted for 29 days by the 26V192 lap-belt recall.

Lucid introduced the trim on November 20, 2025 and has been taking deposits since that morning.

TWD has not driven a Gravity Touring, and no outlet TWD relies on has published an instrumented full test of the Touring trim specifically, though InsideEVs has published a 0-100 percent DC fast-charging session on one.

The persona is specific: a shopper who looked at the Gravity Grand Touring at $98,900, liked the product, and wants to know what $79,900 actually buys now that Lucid has started handing over keys.

TWD will rerun this as a full review once a test vehicle arrives. Until then, this is a snapshot dated April 2026.

What Lucid announced on November 20, 2025

Lucid published a company story titled “Introducing Lucid Gravity Touring: Expanding What’s Possible for the Luxury Electric SUV.” The Touring is priced at $79,900, under the Grand Touring’s $98,900 by $19,000, and positioned as the volume trim in the Gravity line. The company also used the announcement to open orders the same day.

Everything below is pulled from that introduction and the current Lucid Gravity product page, cross-checked against what Lucid has disclosed in investor materials and through press coverage since. Where Lucid stated a number, TWD quotes it, and where Lucid did not, TWD says so.

Powertrain and performance

The Touring makes up to 560 horsepower and 811 lb-ft of torque with dual-motor all-wheel drive and runs 0-60 in 4.0 seconds. That is 268 horsepower and 98 lb-ft below the Grand Touring’s 828 hp and 909 lb-ft peak, and 0.6 seconds slower to 60. Lucid confirmed the Touring torque figure through outlets including Electrek and WardsAuto after the initial consumer page leaned mostly on the horsepower headline.

Four seconds flat on a three-row SUV is quick by any family-vehicle standard. For reference, the Rivian R1S Dual Performance runs 3.5 seconds and lists at $84,900. The Gravity Touring runs 0.5 seconds behind at $5,000 under.

Range and charging

The Touring is rated at 337 EPA miles on the 20-inch front / 21-inch rear wheel configuration, in both Lucid’s November introduction and fueleconomy.gov, which has the trim listed under 2026 MY. Combined MPGe is 111 per fueleconomy.gov.

The Gravity Touring uses a 700V+ pack with 1000V-capable DC charging architecture, and Lucid quotes 200 miles added in 15 minutes on a 350 kW DC fast charger.

The vehicle’s own peak acceptance is 300 kW, 100 kW below the Grand Touring’s 400 kW peak.

Most public DC fast chargers in America peak below 350 kW anyway, so in typical use the Touring and Grand Touring finish a 10-to-80 percent pull within a few minutes of each other.

InsideEVs ran a 0-to-100 percent charging session on a Gravity Touring and published the curve at insideevs.com/news/780601/.

The test saw peaks near 310 kW, a 10-to-80 percent climb in 23 minutes, and a full 0-to-100 percent session in 55 minutes.

That is the first independent end-to-end charging-session data on the Touring trim, and it tracks closely with Lucid’s own claims.

Native NACS compatibility is baked in from launch, which means access to Tesla‘s Supercharger network without an adapter shuffle. Lucid quotes access to over 25,000 Supercharger stalls.

Interior and packaging

The 34-inch Clearview Cockpit display carries over from the Grand Touring. Lucid UX 3.0 runs it, with over-the-air updates as the stated delivery mechanism for new features. Five-seat and seven-seat configurations are both on the order sheet. Cargo volume tops out at up to 120 cubic feet in the two-row, five-seat configuration, matching the Grand Touring’s maximum. The 8.1-cubic-foot frunk is large enough to store camping gear and doubles as optional bench seating.

Optional content includes Surreal Sound Pro (22 speakers, Dolby Atmos) and DreamDrive 2 Pro (32 intelligent sensors). Lucid did not publish a full options pricing sheet with the announcement, so the walk from base $79,900 to fully-loaded Touring is still a studio-quote exercise.

What’s changing versus the Grand Touring

The Touring exists to get a Gravity buyer into the product at a lower price. The value delta comes out of power, peak charging speed, and range. The table below compares the two trims on Lucid-published specs only.

Spec	Gravity Touring	Gravity Grand Touring
Base MSRP	$79,900	$98,900
Peak horsepower	Up to 560 hp	Up to 828 hp
Peak torque	811 lb-ft	909 lb-ft
0-60 mph	4.0 sec	3.4 sec
EPA range (20F/21R wheels)	Up to 337 mi	Up to 450 mi
Battery	89 kWh	123 kWh gross / 120 kWh usable (per Lucid IR)
DC fast charge peak acceptance	300 kW (200 mi in 15 min quoted)	400 kW (200 mi in under 11 min)
Charging architecture	700V+ pack, 1000V-capable DC charging	926V pack, 1000V-capable DC charging (NACS)
Seating configurations	5-seat and 7-seat	5-, 6-, and 7-seat
Cargo ceiling	Up to 120 cu ft	Up to 120 cu ft
Frunk	8.1 cu ft	8.1 cu ft
Tow rating (with Towing Package)	Up to 3,500 lbs	Up to 6,000 lbs

The Touring gives up 113 miles of range, 268 horsepower, 98 lb-ft, 2,500 pounds of tow capacity, and 0.6 seconds to 60 for a $19,000 discount.

It keeps the full interior volume, the 8.1-cubic-foot frunk, the 1000V-capable DC charging architecture, and the 2026-grade cabin.

It drops the six-seat captain’s-chair configuration.

Whether that trade is the right one depends entirely on whether the buyer was ordering a Gravity for the drama at the top of the power band or for the space, the quiet, and the 300-plus-mile EV range on a family SUV.

The case the Touring makes is that most three-row family-SUV buyers prioritize space and range over top-of-the-band power.

What is still open in April 2026

A good chunk of the November 20 announcement-day unknowns has been answered in the five months since.

Torque is on the record at 811 lb-ft. The Towing Package tops out at 3,500 pounds.

Deliveries are underway; Lucid’s Q1 2026 IR release reported 3,093 vehicles combined across Air and Gravity with no model-specific breakdown, and Gravity shipments were disrupted for 29 days by the 26V192 lap-belt recall.

InsideEVs has a full 0-to-100 percent charging-session curve on file.

What remains is a shorter, more specific list of things still worth tracking before any buyer signs.

• Touring-specific curb weight. Lucid’s 2026 Grand Touring Technical Specifications PDF lists the GT at approximately 6,173 lbs. The Touring’s curb weight has not surfaced in the same PDF format. The smaller battery pack implies a lighter car.
• Cold-weather real-world range. A Lucid Air Grand Touring sedan went farthest in the 2026 NAF winter test, a result for the sedan rather than the Gravity. The Touring has not been through a comparable independent cold-weather test.
• Q2 and Q3 volume ramp cadence. Q1 2026 produced 3,093 vehicles total across Air and Gravity combined per Lucid IR; Gravity-specific figures were not disclosed, and Gravity deliveries were held for 29 of 90 days by the 26V192 lap-belt recall. Whether Lucid accelerates the Gravity ramp, or slips it as the Touring takes a larger share of the mix, is the near-term production story.
• Long-term fleet reliability. Field data is accumulating but has not reached the scale where J.D. Power or Consumer Reports will publish a meaningful read. The Gravity line has three NHTSA recall campaigns open against the Grand Touring as of April 2026 (see TWD’s Lucid reliability piece). Whether those patterns carry into the Touring or reset is a question for twelve months from now.
• Independent instrumented reviews. InsideEVs and Edmunds have Touring-specific data on file, but Car and Driver and MotorTrend have not yet published full instrumented tests of the Touring trim in particular. Measured 0-60 mph, braking from 70 mph, and skidpad numbers from those sources are still on the come.

Delivery pace and production risk

Lucid’s November 20, 2025 announcement said orders were open and left specific delivery dates unpinned.

The Grand Touring entered production at the Casa Grande, Arizona plant in December 2024, setting the reference point for Gravity production rhythm.

Lucid’s Q1 2026 IR release reported 3,093 vehicles delivered combined across Air and Gravity, with no model-specific breakdown; Gravity deliveries were underway but disrupted for 29 days by the 26V192 lap-belt recall.

The Touring ramp is underway rather than delayed.

The Gravity program slipped multiple times between its 2022 reveal and its December 2024 production start.

A buyer placing an order now is no longer taking schedule risk on whether the Touring will ship. The risk shifts to delivery timing for any specific order slot, because Lucid’s volume and configuration mix through Q2 and Q3 is still an open question.

Verifying a likely ship date through a Lucid studio at order time remains more useful than reading between the lines of the investor update.

Planned tests for the full review

Once a test vehicle arrives, the plan is a full review covering measured 0-60 time, highway-at-75 range versus the EPA 337-mile rating, a full DC fast-charging session on a 350 kW charger, third-row usability with actual adults, cabin and software stability after a week of day-to-day use, real-world towing with the 3,500-pound rating, and early owner-forum reliability patterns.

When that review publishes, it replaces this preview as the primary Gravity Touring article in TWD’s archive.

Where the Touring fits Lucid’s lineup

Lucid sells six trims across two body styles, and the Touring is the second of two Gravity trims.

At $79,900 it matches the base price of the Air Touring sedan and slots under every major three-row luxury EV SUV in America.

The Kia EV9 GT-Line ($74,895) sits below it as a mainstream-brand outlier rather than a luxury peer.

The Rivian R1S Dual Performance is $5,000 above at $84,900. The Tesla Model X Standard is $5,090 above at $84,990. The Mercedes EQS 400 4MATIC SUV and Cadillac Escalade IQ price well above.

In raw numbers the Touring is one of the less expensive three-row luxury-EV-SUV options on sale in a tier that barely existed three years ago.

$79,900 for 337 miles and seven seats

A three-row EV SUV with 337 EPA miles of range, 560 horsepower, 811 lb-ft, 1000V-capable DC charging, 3,500 pounds of tow, and 120 cubic feet of cargo for $79,900 reads credibly on paper. Whether it reads as well in person still depends on software stability, day-to-day charging behavior in the field, and long-term build quality. The ladder down from the Grand Touring is logical.

Deliveries are happening, InsideEVs has charging data, and Lucid has published torque and towing. What remains is first-year ownership risk rather than first-year delivery risk.

A buyer comfortable with that level of first-year risk can order at the announced price. A buyer who wants instrumented Car and Driver or MotorTrend comparison data would be better served waiting for those tests to run.

TWD will rerun this as a full review after a week with the car. For cluster context, see my Gravity Grand Touring buyer’s guide, the Lucid reliability deep-dive, and the 2026 Lucid lineup overview. Reliability data by engine configuration is tracked at /reliability/lucid/gravity/.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will the Lucid Gravity Touring be available?

Orders went live November 20, 2025. Deliveries are underway; Lucid’s Q1 2026 IR release reported 3,093 vehicles combined across Air and Gravity, with no model-specific breakdown, and Gravity shipments were disrupted for 29 days by the 26V192 lap-belt recall. Any specific order slot still depends on configuration and production mix, so buyers placing an order should verify a current ship date through a Lucid studio at order time rather than assume the announcement window applies to their order.

What is the range of the Lucid Gravity Touring?

Up to 337 EPA miles on the 20-inch front / 21-inch rear wheel configuration, per both Lucid’s announcement and fueleconomy.gov. Combined MPGe is 111. That is 113 miles less than the Gravity Grand Touring’s 450-mile rating. Range drops on larger wheels and in cold weather, as with every EV.

How much is the Lucid Gravity Touring?

$79,900 base MSRP, destination excluded, per Lucid’s November 20, 2025 announcement and the current Gravity coverage. That prices the Touring $19,000 under the Gravity Grand Touring ($98,900) and $5,000 under the Rivian R1S Dual Performance ($84,900). Lucid has not published a full options sheet for the Touring, so fully-loaded Touring pricing is still a studio-quote exercise. The federal EV tax credit was eliminated September 30, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, so no federal incentive applies.

When is the Lucid Gravity Touring coming out?

It is already reaching owners. Lucid has been taking deposits since November 20, 2025, and first retail Tourings started arriving in early 2026. Lucid’s Q1 2026 IR release reported 3,093 vehicles delivered combined across Air and Gravity, with no model-specific breakdown. The Gravity Grand Touring entered production in December 2024 at Lucid’s Casa Grande, Arizona plant, and the Touring rolls off the same line.

What’s the difference between Gravity Touring and Grand Touring?

Peak power is 560 hp versus 828 hp. Peak torque is 811 lb-ft versus 909 lb-ft. EPA range is 337 miles versus 450 miles. 0-60 is 4.0 seconds versus 3.4 seconds. Peak DC fast-charge acceptance is 300 kW versus 400 kW. Tow rating with the Towing Package is 3,500 pounds versus 6,000 pounds. Base price is $79,900 versus $98,900, a $19,000 gap. Both trims share the 1000V-capable DC charging architecture, the 34-inch Clearview Cockpit, the 120-cubic-foot maximum cargo volume, and the 8.1-cubic-foot frunk. The Grand Touring adds a six-seat captain’s-chair configuration; the Touring ships five- and seven-seat layouts only.

Is the Gravity Touring a three-row SUV?

It can be. Five-seat (two-row) and seven-seat (three-row) configurations are both available. The six-seat (captain’s chairs) layout offered on the Grand Touring is not listed for the Touring as of Lucid’s November 2025 announcement. The third row is a genuine third row, not a jump seat; the Gravity’s 119.5-inch wheelbase is the same across trims, and the roof profile is packaged for adult head height in the back.

Does the Gravity Touring have the same 1000V charging as the Grand Touring?

Yes. Lucid’s Gravity architecture supports 1000V-capable DC charging across both trims. The difference is peak acceptance at the vehicle side: the Touring accepts up to 300 kW, quoted by Lucid at 200 miles in 15 minutes. The Grand Touring accepts up to 400 kW, quoted at 200 miles in under 11 minutes. InsideEVs measured the Touring’s real-world peak near 310 kW and a 10-to-80 percent climb in 23 minutes. Most public DC fast chargers in America peak below 350 kW, so in typical use the Touring’s charging experience sits close to the Grand Touring’s. Native NACS compatibility is baked in from launch.

What’s the Gravity Touring’s battery capacity?

89 kWh, explicitly stated in Lucid’s announcement copy. The Grand Touring’s pack is 123 kWh gross and 120 kWh usable for the 2026 model year, per Lucid’s investor relations disclosure. The smaller Touring pack is the primary reason it lists 113 fewer EPA miles than the Grand Touring despite sharing the same 1000V-capable charging architecture.

When does Lucid start delivering the Gravity Touring?

Deliveries have already started. Lucid’s Q1 2026 IR release reported 3,093 vehicles combined across Air and Gravity, with no model-specific breakdown, and Electrek’s November 20 announcement coverage noted immediate deliveries for certain configurations. The Touring is in customer hands; the remaining question for any specific buyer is the ship date on their particular configuration and order slot, which a Lucid studio can confirm.

Does the Gravity Touring have towing capability?

Yes. The Touring is rated up to 3,500 pounds with the Towing Package per Lucid, reported via WardsAuto and Guide Auto Web. That is 2,500 pounds below the Grand Touring’s 6,000-pound rating with the same package. The Towing Package is available on both trims. Enough for a small utility trailer, a single jet ski, or a lightweight pop-up; not enough for most travel trailers or a double-axle boat.

Is the Gravity Touring eligible for the federal EV tax credit?

No federal EV tax credit applies for 2026 vehicles. The federal EV tax credit was eliminated on September 30, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. State and utility incentives may still apply depending on jurisdiction; those are buyer-specific and worth confirming at the dealership.

Is the Gravity Touring a good choice versus the Rivian R1S or Tesla Model X?

Too early to say on lived experience; the Touring has started shipping but no outlet TWD relies on has published a direct Touring-versus-rivals comparison test. The spec-sheet read is that the Touring undercuts the Rivian R1S Dual Performance by $5,000 ($79,900 vs $84,900) and the Tesla Model X Standard by $5,090 ($79,900 vs $84,990). A spec sheet is not a comparison test. The Grand Touring comparison against these vehicles is in the Gravity Grand Touring buyer’s guide; a full Touring cross-shop will follow once TWD gets seat time.
