Lucid Group's Gravity SUV Crowned 2026 World Luxury Car of the Year

In a significant achievement for Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), the company announced today that its all-electric SUV, the Lucid Gravity, has been named the 2026 World Luxury Car of the Year by the prestigious World Car Awards program. This accolade comes in a competitive category that includes electric, hybrid, and internal-combustion vehicles. A global jury comprising over 100 esteemed automotive journalists recognized the Gravity for its innovative design and performance, marking another milestone for Lucid, which also won the same award in 2023 for its Lucid Air sedan.

The Lucid Gravity is redefining the SUV market by offering full-size practicality within a more manageable midsize footprint. With a spacious interior that accommodates up to seven adults, the Gravity maximizes passenger comfort without compromising on space or efficiency.

Notably, the SUV features sliding second-row seats complemented by integrated convenience tables, enhancing the back-seat experience. The third-row legroom is designed to ensure comfort for all passengers, making it an excellent choice for family adventures or group outings.

Marc Winterhoff, Interim CEO of Lucid, expressed pride in this recognition, stating, "This recognition reflects the strength of Lucid's product vision and the exceptional execution of our team." He emphasized that the Gravity combines the spaciousness and versatility of a full-size SUV with the dynamic driving experience typical of sports cars, underpinned by Lucid's proprietary technology and engineering. "Together, these qualities set a new benchmark for what a world-class luxury SUV can be," Winterhoff added.

The Gravity’s performance is rooted in a newly developed platform designed specifically for sporty SUVs. It features a dual-motor setup and all-wheel drive, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride on various terrains. The standard adjustable air suspension provides added comfort, making it suitable for both urban environments and off-road adventures.

Moreover, the optional rear-axle steering system significantly enhances the vehicle's handling, allowing for improved maneuverability in tight city streets and crowded parking lots, thereby elevating the day-to-day driving experience.

Powering the Lucid Gravity is a high-efficiency, miniaturized powertrain that boasts an impressive EPA-estimated driving range of up to 450 miles. The vehicle is equipped with ultra-fast charging capabilities, enabling drivers to add 200 miles of range in under 11 minutes at more than 32,500 DC fast charging stations across North America. This feature ensures that long-distance travel remains convenient and efficient.

The Lucid Gravity will be prominently featured at the 2026 New York International Auto Show from April 3-12. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience firsthand the vehicle's class-leading space, luxury appointments, and advanced user experience, as well as its performance on the show's dedicated EV test track.
