Who is Lucid?
Lucid is an American electric-car maker based in California. It began as a company focused on electric-vehicle batteries and powertrains, then turned to building complete cars under the Lucid name. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund became a major investor, backing the move towards production.
The brand is known for luxury electric cars and for putting much of its engineering effort into the electric powertrain. Its range is still focused: a large luxury sedan and, later, an SUV. That makes Lucid a specialist rather than a maker with a broad spread of body styles and price points.
What models does Lucid make?
The Air is the sedan at the heart of the range. It is a roomy, low-slung electric car aimed at people who want a comfortable, refined long-distance car, with the quiet running and smooth response associated with electric power. Across its model years, the Air has been Lucid’s established line.
Gravity brings the same electric-luxury idea to an SUV. Its taller body and more versatile layout give it a different role from the Air, for drivers who need the access and everyday flexibility of an SUV. The two lines cover distinct needs while sharing Lucid’s focus on electric propulsion.
How has the range developed?
The Air appears from 2022 through 2027, while Gravity enters the range in 2025 and is listed through 2027. The change is a clear one: Lucid began with a sedan and then expanded into an SUV, adding a second kind of vehicle rather than moving away from its electric-car identity.
In European Union registration figures, the Air recorded 694 registrations from 2022 to 2025. Gravity recorded 21 in 2025. Those figures show the Air’s longer-established presence and Gravity’s more recent arrival in the European market.
Where are Lucid figures reported?
Lucid appears in figures for the European Union, the United States and Canada. European figures here are registrations across the European Economic Area; US figures use EPA ratings, and Canadian figures use NRCan ratings. The figures can’t be compared as if they came from one test: Europe uses WLTP, or in some cases the older NEDC procedure, the United States uses EPA testing, and Canada uses its five-cycle test.
For drivers, these official figures provide a consistent starting point within each market for understanding fuel use, emissions and power. The test procedures and reporting conventions differ, so a result in one market may not match a result for what seems to be the same car elsewhere.
