Lucid's Gravity Gets a 'Touring' Ticket: Luxury Electric SUV Now More Attainable, Still Flyin' High!

TL;DR: Hold onto your hats, folks! Lucid just made its gorgeous Gravity electric SUV a little less exclusive, opening orders for the 2026 Gravity Touring. Starting at US$79,900 (C$113,500 in Canada), it's a solid $15,000 cheaper than the Grand Touring, proving you can still fly first-class without buying the whole plane.

Meta: Lucid's making its stunning Gravity electric SUV a bit more accessible, opening orders for the 2026 Gravity Touring starting under $80,000 in the US and C$113,500 in Canada, without skimping on performance or tech.

Alright, alright, settle down now! Lucid just pulled a fast one, and it's good news for your wallet, if your wallet is already pretty thick. They've officially opened orders for the 2026 Gravity Touring, making their slick electric SUV a little more attainable for the masses... well, for the luxury masses, anyway. We're talking US$79,900 down in the States and C$113,500 up in Canada. That's a cool $15,000 less than the top-tier Grand Touring. You hear that? Fifteen grand! That’s like finding a winning lottery ticket... if you were already a millionaire.

Now, don't think they skimped on the good stuff. The Gravity Touring still packs a punch with a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup, delivering a smooth 560 horsepower. It'll launch you from 0-60 mph in a snappy 4.0 seconds. And with an 89 kWh battery, you're looking at an EPA-estimated 337 miles of range. That's plenty of road to strut your stuff, lookin' good and feelin' electric. Plus, it plays nice with Tesla's NACS Supercharger network, so you can juice up fast, pulling in up to 225 kW, and even 300 kW on those monster 1000-volt DC fast chargers. That's like adding 200 miles in about 15 minutes – quicker than I can finish a monologue!

Luxury, Versatility, and a Slightly Smaller Price Tag

Inside, the Gravity Touring is still living that plush life. You get the choice of five or seven seats, a massive 120 cubic feet of cargo space, and an 8.1 cu-ft frunk that can even turn into a rear-facing bench for tailgating. They didn't strip out the fancy stuff like the 34-inch curved 6K OLED "Clearview Cockpit" or the Lucid UX 3.0 software with those sweet over-the-air updates. Options like the 22-speaker Surreal Sound Pro, hidden storage, and 120V outlets mean this ride is still premium and practical, like a limousine that can haul your camping gear.

For those who love a digital co-pilot, the optional DreamDrive 2 Pro system is there, armed with 32 sensors for advanced safety and semi-automated driving. It's like having a ninja behind the wheel, but a quiet, electric ninja. This move to offer a slightly more accessible model shows Lucid is serious about getting more of its electric masterpieces on the road. It's still a luxury ride, no doubt, but now with a little more wiggle room in the budget. It's smart, it's savvy, and it's making waves.

What’s Next?

Orders are open now, with Canadian deliveries expected to roll out early next year. This could be a game-changer for Lucid, expanding their market reach beyond the ultra-luxury segment. Keep an eye out for how this Touring model impacts their sales and whether even more 'accessible' trims are on the horizon. The more options, the merrier, I always say.

So go on, treat yourself! You’ve earned it, baby! And if you haven't, well, that's what window shopping's for! Woo!
