Lucid Motors has just released the Lucid Gravity Lease, a daring new offering in the electric luxury SUV space. With 828 horsepower, 909 lb-ft of torque, and slim styling, the Gravity is likely to take on entrenched players like the Tesla Model X. While the performance and styling are tremendous, the lease offers might not be as eye-catching.
Big Power, Bigger Price
The 2026 Lucid Gravity Grand Touring starts at an MSRP base of $96,640 plus Lucid’s $1,650 destination fee. It’s an all-wheel drive behemoth of accelerating prowess, lengthy range, and luxury at its finest level. But a lease will be $1,099 per month for 36 months, plus $10,124 due at signing. Your effective monthly fee: $1,380 which is an awfully hefty price, even for a luxury electric SUV.
Lucid Air Provides an Unexpected Edge
For comparison, the 2025 Lucid Air Grand Touring sedan, priced at $112,400 MSRP, really does have a much more attractive lease option. It’s priced at $849 per month for 36 months, with $7,949 due at signing, for an effective monthly price of $1,070. Even though the Air is priced almost $15,760 more, it ends up being the cheaper lease.
Discounts Provide the Difference
The primary cause of this upside-down lease logic is incentives. Lucid Air profits from more substantial rebates. Besides the $7,500 federal EV lease credit, customers can potentially receive:
- A $5,000 Air Credit
- A $1,000 On-Site Vehicle Bonus
- A $2,000 Conquest Offer (for making a switch from a competing EV brand)
That’s a possible $15,500 in savings. The Gravity, on the other hand, only gets the federal lease incentive, no other rebates currently.
The Touring Trim Could Be a Beacon of Hope
For those interested in the Gravity but deterred by the lease price, Lucid is gearing up a more affordable Gravity Touring model. It will begin around $79,900 and come with a noteworthy EPA-estimated range of 440 miles. With a reasonable price and leasing plan, this trim could prove the wiser option within the Gravity range.
Comparing to the Competition
The Tesla Model X, while getting older, retains market share. The Lucid Gravity offers newer technology and arguably more refinement, but at a price that’s difficult to dismiss when compared to leasing the Lucid Air. For those looking at both body styles, the SUV might look like the more practical choice, until the lease figures hit the calculator.
Lucid Has More Plans in the Pipeline
Looking forward, Lucid is not resting on the Gravity. The firm has a more modest model in development, potentially to be called the Lucid Earth, which could enter production midway through 2026. It would directly challenge the Tesla Model Y, which is the bestselling EV in the U.S., and potentially expand Lucid’s market significantly if priced competitively.

Conclusion
All in all, the Lucid Gravity is an amazing car with phenomenal performance and styling. However, many experts feel that its current lease price doesn’t provide much value. This statement becomes more true when compared to its relative, the Lucid Air. So, we recommend you to wait for the new model because it may be better to wait for the touring model or wait for more incentives. If you are in the SUV package and must have the Gravity today then you can have it. In a market where every dollar counts, Lucid’s sedan is surprisingly the better deal for now.
All in all, the new lease launch can be exciting for few but many buyers have shown the thumbs down, it will be interesting to see what Lucid has for the future.
