Thu Sep 12 00:30:00 UTC 2024: ## Lucid Unveils New, Smaller SUV with Sleek Design and Powerful Motor
Luxury electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Motors has offered a glimpse into its future, revealing a new, smaller SUV that will sit below the upcoming Gravity three-row model. The unnamed SUV boasts a distinctive, curvy design that sets it apart from the more rounded Air and the boxy Gravity.
While details are scarce, Lucid confirmed the SUV will be powered by a new, more compact Atlas motor and drive unit, promising improved efficiency and packaging. The Atlas is expected to deliver around 335 horsepower and could find its way into midsize and entry-level versions of the Air and Gravity.
The new SUV is expected to arrive in late 2026, with a possible reveal sometime next year, potentially at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Lucid has filed a trademark for the name “Earth,” suggesting a potential branding direction that aligns with the company’s Earth-conscious and elemental naming philosophy.
Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the new SUV is its starting price: under $50,000. This would make it significantly more affordable than the current Lucid lineup, potentially opening the brand to a wider audience and challenging established players in the electric SUV market.
