Lucid wins luxury award

Lucid’s Gravity SUV won the 2026 World Luxury Car award at the New York International Auto Show on April 1. (worldcarawards.com) The World Car Awards said Gravity beat the Cadillac Vistiq and Volvo ES90 in the luxury category, with voting by automotive journalists from around the world. The award was announced in New York during the show’s World Car finals. (worldcarawards.com) Lucid is selling the Gravity Touring from $79,900 and the Gravity Grand Touring from $94,900, according to its order page. Lucid says the SUV offers up to 450 miles of Environmental Protection Agency-estimated range and seating for up to seven adults. (lucidmotors.com) The win gives Lucid a high-profile trophy as it tries to turn the Gravity from an attention-getter into a volume vehicle. Lucid told investors it delivered 15,841 vehicles in 2025 and expects to produce 25,000 to 27,000 vehicles in 2026. (ir.lucidmotors.com) That production target lands in a tougher electric-vehicle market than the one Lucid faced when it launched the Air sedan. A widely circulated industry report said Tesla’s U.S. battery-electric share rose to 58% in the first quarter of 2026, while the overall segment fell 28% year over year and Chevrolet also gained ground. (bluewaterhealthyliving.com) Lucid is not new to this awards program. The company’s Air sedan won the same World Luxury Car title in 2023, making Gravity its second victory in that category in four years. (lucidmotors.com) The award also came in a year when electric models swept every World Car category, with BMW’s iX3 taking both World Car of the Year and World Electric Vehicle. That result put Lucid’s win inside a broader April showcase for premium electric models, not a stand-alone moment. (worldcarawards.com) For Lucid, the immediate test is not whether Gravity can win another jury vote. It is whether an $79,900-to-$94,900 electric SUV can keep drawing buyers as the market shifts toward a smaller group of winners. (lucidmotors.com)
