Lucid Gravity - American-style electric SUV

According to VnExpress November 19, 2023 07:18

The Lucid Gravity is a 3-row SUV with a drag coefficient of only 0.24, allowing for a range of up to 700 km on a single charge.

Lucid's electric SUV has a drag coefficient of 0.24

Lucid recently introduced an electric SUV at an auto show in Los Angeles (USA), called Gravity. Unlike the bulky large SUVs, Gravity has a slim, smooth shape, with a curved roof extending to the rear. The car is equipped with 2 or 3 rows of seats depending on the version, with a seating configuration of 5, 6 or 7 seats.

Lucid says the Gravity's coefficient of drag (Cd) is 0.24 (using the optional air suspension, driving in highway mode), on par with current sedans and far superior to popular SUVs. The lower the coefficient of drag, the more "wind-sweeping" the car is, saving energy while moving.

The lines look like a fastback.

In terms of design, the Gravity's body is filled with soft curves and waves, helping the car achieve a low drag coefficient. The Gravity's lighting system is slim and neat. The car's roof is a large transparent glass panel.

Two large screens are the focal point of the car's interior, including a 34-inch curved OLED screen in front of the steering wheel that serves as a dashboard and infotainment display, and a touchscreen that doubles as a vehicle function control panel in the middle, which can be folded away to increase storage space.

Interior filled with technology

Information about engine power and battery capacity has not been disclosed by the manufacturer. Lucid said that all versions of Gravity use a dual-motor four-wheel drive platform, developed from the brand's Air model. For reference, the Air Dream Edition electric car has 1,111 horsepower, a range of 836 km, and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds.

The high-performance variant of the Gravity has a range of over 700 km, and can reach speeds of 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds. The Gravity offers a range of 320 km in just 15 minutes of fast charging at a DC charging station. Production is expected to begin in late 2024.
