Lucid is teasing what it calls a “bold new concept of electric exploration” ahead of its debut on Thursday. What exactly does that mean?
What bold new EV is Lucid revealing?
After launching the Gravity in late 2024, Lucid now offers two of the most efficient and luxurious electric vehicles on the market.
The Lucid Air was the best-selling electric luxury sedan in the US in the first half of the year. After overcoming a few hiccups, production is expected to “significantly increase” in the second half of the year.
Meanwhile, Lucid is hinting at another new EV model after teasing what it calls “a bold new concept of electric exploration” on social media.
Although the details are still pretty slim, you can see a few interesting features in the teaser. One of the biggest giveaways is what appears to be a roof-mounted light. As an exploration EV, this will likely be one of the few added upgrades. It will also feature rugged, blacked-out wheels and other off-road elements.
Given what we know so far, all signs point to an off-road Gravity variant. Lucid could be preparing its version of the souped-up Rivian “California Dune Edition” trims for the R1S and R1T.
Update 08/12/26: Lucid confirmed the new EV is, in fact, a new Gravity concept model. The new model will be shown for the first time on the Concept Lawn at Monterey Car Week.
You can visit Lucid’s booth to check out the Gravity for yourself. Lucid will be offering Air and Gravity test drives from 10 am to 6 pm on Thursday, and 9 am to 6 pm on Friday and Saturday. You can pre-register at lucidmotors.com/experiences to schedule one in advance.
The special edition Dune models feature Rivian’s Tri-Motor powertrain and added off-road upgrades like a unique sand-color paint, 20″ All-Terrain wheels, and reinforced underbody shields. The R1T electric pickup also gets an added powered tonneau cover.
The only other Lucid Gravity model due out is the lower-priced Touring. It’s set to arrive later this year, starting at $79,900. However, with the upgrades, it’s unlikely to be the new EV concept Lucid will unveil later this week.
For now, the Lucid Gravity Grand Touring is available starting at $94,900 with an impressive range of up to 450 miles. Lucid also sells a limited number of Dream Edition models, boasting over 1,000 horsepower.
Could it be the midsize EV that’s scheduled to launch in the second half of 2026? Again, it won’t be that. We will have to wait until Thursday to learn more about the new Gravity EV concept when Lucid reveals it at Monterey Car Week on August 14. Check back later this week for the unveiling.
