Lucid Gravity X Concept Takes the Brand’s First SUV In a More Adventurous Direction

Look out, Rivian? Lucid’s new SUV gets a rugged makeover that seems eminently doable for production.Alexander StoklosaWriter

There’s no escaping the gravitational pull of the off-road treatment for trucks and SUVs these days. Much like your social media posts seemingly confirming your life’s events, if you don’t have an off-road package for your tall vehicle, is it even a truck or SUV? Lucid just introduced its first-ever SUV, the Gravity, this year, and you can tell it’s already thinking of ways to affirm its SUV-ness by way of, you guessed it, a more off-road-focused variant.

That idea is being previewed at during Monterey Car Week by the Lucid Gravity X concept pictured here. Described by Lucid as “a trail-ready SUV,” it is based on the production Gravity Grand Touring model. Underneath, its track has been widened, the suspension ride height lifted, and special wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires have been fitted.

There are skid plates underneath, as well as recovery tow hooks at each end for when things get too adventurous, and the bumpers are finished in a unique “Astral Drift” dark matte color and brushed metal accents. The regular Gravity’s Stealth Appearance package is also included, which darkens all the exterior trim appropriately. In a nod to the X’s debut event and location, there are topographical maps of Big Sur and Death Valley patterned onto the hood’s contours, as well as the coordinates of Pebble Beach on the rocker panels.

The transformation is subtle yet effective, as this Gravity really looks the business, especially with its special roof rack. It’s a modular setup, per Lucid, that integrates crossbars, LED auxiliary lights, a roof box, and add-on mounts for tacking on even more.

It isn’t clear what effect all of these upgrades have on the Gravity’s range, which typically for a Grand Touring is a claimed 450 miles. Lucid mentions how the SUV’s “exceptional aerodynamics” are retained, but there’s no question the beefier tires, roof rack, and surely extra weight onboard will impact the Gravity’s driving range.

As on Lucid’s Air sedan, the Gravity enjoys a classy, upscale interior. That’s a good thing, though it makes it difficult for designers to make the cabin read “rugged.” Lucid’s stylists gave it a go anyway, festooning the regular Gravity’s Ojai interior scheme with special door kick plates, orange seat piping and stitching, and cloth inserts in the otherwise leather chairs. The steering wheel gets an orange stripe marking top-dead center, and occupants’ feet rest on all-weather floor mats with metal “Gravity” logos.

While Lucid isn’t saying that something like the X is headed for production, it doesn’t take much squinting (or imagination) to guess that something like this concept could easily join the Gravity lineup in the future. After all, everyone’s doing it—and a Gravity X would give Lucid a three-row electric SUV to more directly take on Rivian’s off-road-y R1S.
