No Waiting Around
Despite starting customer deliveries just last year, Lucid has already updated the Gravity for the 2027 model year, adding more standard features – most notably DreamDrive 2 Premium across the range. The update doesn’t reinvent the all-electric midsize crossover, but it does make it better equipped right out of the box.
The Gravity is still offered in two trims, Touring and Grand Touring. Both now come equipped with DreamDrive 2 Premium, a suite of Level 2 advanced driver-assistance features, rather than offering it as an option as before. It includes features such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane change assist, and front and rear cross-collision protection, though it still misses some features reserved for the Pro package, including hands-free drive assist, traffic light detection, and remote automatic parking, among others.
Still, the update could help the model keep pace as such technologies become more widespread, especially as the IIHS imposes stricter crash-avoidance criteria. It also now includes an additional key fob that was previously optional.
Going Fully Loaded
The flagship Grand Touring trim now comes standard with the Comfort & Convenience Package, the Power Package, and 21-inch/22-inch wheels. However, it is also available with an optional Prestige Package, which adds 22-inch/23-inch wheels, Surreal Sound Pro, the Dynamic Handling Package, and third-row seating – bringing it in line with three-row rivals such as Rivian R1S.
The Prestige Package will become available starting in summer 2026, priced from $10,500.
These new updates further enhance the Lucid Gravity’s tech suite, alongside the recent addition of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Those features improve connectivity for a wider range of users – an area where some Tesla owners still come up short, despite the EV maker signaling interest in adding the features to its vehicles, though that may ultimately matter less for the Gravity’s Tesla rival, the Model X, which is ending production.
Pricing in the Segment
In terms of pricing, the Gravity Touring still starts at $79,900 (excluding destination fees) for the updated 2027 model year. The Grand Touring trim, meanwhile, now starts at $98,900 – about $4,000 more than the 2026 model year, which is not surprising given the extensive addition of features.
This announcement follows the model’s win as the 2026 World Luxury Car of the Year from the World Car Awards, while the BMW iX3 took the overall title. The accolade suggests Lucid already had a strong product, with the latest 2027MY update building on that momentum.
