Lucid Motors has officially unveiled the 2027 Lucid Gravity GT-S, a high-performance variant of its three-row electric SUV that pushes output to a staggering 1,070 horsepower. Priced at $127,750 and initially exclusive to the US market, the new flagship trim aims to dominate the luxury EV segment by blending family-hauling utility with supercar acceleration.
The Gravity GT-S achieves a 0-60 mph sprint in just 3.1 seconds. While Lucid claims the title of "America’s most powerful three-row SUV," it faces historical comparisons to the Tesla Model X Plaid, which boasted a 2.5-second 0-60 time and a 163-mph top speed before its discontinuation. The 1,070-horsepower figure represents a massive leap over the standard Gravity lineup, offering roughly 50% more power than the 560-hp Touring model and a 20% increase over the 828-hp Grand Touring.
To manage this immense power, Lucid includes the Dynamic Handling Package as standard equipment on the GT-S. This system integrates a three-chamber air suspension designed to lower the vehicle at high speeds for improved aerodynamics, paired with rear-axle steering for enhanced maneuverability.
With Lucid Gravity GT-S, we’ve created a more expressive and exhilarating interpretation of the Gravity SUV. It combines extraordinary performance with the comfort, space, and versatility that define Gravity.

The hyperspeed three-row SUV market remains a niche battleground, traditionally dominated by heavy, V8-powered gas vehicles like the Dodge Durango Hellcat and the significantly pricier Cadillac Escalade V. The Gravity GT-S enters this space offering a zero-emissions alternative that undercuts the weight of some traditional full-size luxury SUVs while delivering superior horsepower.
The True Cost of Electric Dominance
The $127,750 price tag of the Lucid Gravity GT-S places it in a fascinating market position. While it demands a roughly 50% premium over high-performance gas alternatives like the Durango Hellcat, it effectively fills the vacuum left by the Tesla Model X Plaid in the ultra-premium electric SUV space.
The inclusion of standard rear-axle steering and a three-chamber air suspension indicates that Lucid is not just chasing straight-line speed, but actively trying to mask the inherent weight penalty of a three-row EV battery pack. For buyers in this bracket, the true value proposition isn't just the 3.1-second acceleration - it is the ability to access 1,070 horsepower without ever visiting a gas station.
