Lucid’s already thinking beyond Gravity.

On Tuesday during the automaker’s technology and manufacturing day, a teaser image of Lucid’s midsize crossover SUV was posted on Twitter (now called X). Lucid said the midsize electric SUV will arrive in late 2026 and cost less than $50,000.

The midsize EV will have “leading technology and efficiency,” according to the company. Lucid claimed it will deliver the same range as competitors with a smaller battery pack.

The teaser image reveals a crossover SUV that looks about the size of a Tesla Model Y. Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson has said that the company’s midsize vehicles will be like the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y.

The vehicle in the image appears to match the same vehicle covered in a sheet shown in January.

Lucid hasn’t teased the name of the upcoming crossover SUV, but the company filed a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in January for the name Earth.

The midsize crossover SUV has a similar silhouette and roofline as the Gravity SUV. The front features horizontal LED headlights and a full-width chrome trim piece with letter “LUCID” letters. The fenders feature strong curves, and the mirrors are fender-mounted. Unlike the Gravity SUV, the midsize crossover appears to have scallops on both sides of the hood similar to the Air sedan. 

Rawlinson has said the midsize vehicle will be the company’s “big volume platform.” That will likely mean it will be less luxurious than the Gravity and Air sedan.

In August, Lucid got another $1.5 billion cash infusion from Saudi Arabia.

Pre-production units of the Gravity SUV are rolling off the assembly line with customer deliveries set to begin later this year. Lucid hasn’t announced when the midsize crossover will debut.
