Lucid Gravity wins

Lucid’s Gravity sport utility vehicle won the 2026 World Luxury Car award at the New York International Auto Show on April 1. (worldcarawards.com) The award was announced in New York City as part of the World Car Awards program, which said winners in six categories were revealed during the show. The 2026 New York Auto Show ran at the Javits Center from April 3 through April 12. (worldcarawards.com) (autoshowny.com) Lucid said the Gravity is available to order now from $79,900 on its website, while award coverage tied to the win listed the model at a starting price of $82,000. Lucid’s consumer site also says the SUV offers up to 450 miles of Environmental Protection Agency-estimated range and seating for up to seven adults. (lucidmotors.com) (gmtoday.com) That gives Lucid a luxury talking point at a show where other automakers used Manhattan debuts to push new electric and sport utility models into the 2027 model year. The New York Auto Show’s own coverage highlighted fresh reveals from Volkswagen, Kia and Subaru during the same event. (gmtoday.com) (autoshowny.com) Lucid has been trying to turn the Gravity from a halo product into a volume driver after years of relying on the Air sedan. The company said on April 2 that first-quarter Gravity deliveries were disrupted for 29 days by a supplier quality issue involving second-row seats, but it reaffirmed full-year production guidance of 25,000 to 27,000 vehicles. (ir.lucidmotors.com) The company also updated the lineup on April 2, saying the 2027 Gravity would get expanded standard features and simpler packaging as deliveries grow. Lucid said Grand Touring models would add new standard equipment and a new Prestige Package. (ir.lucidmotors.com) The World Car Awards said the program is run by automotive journalists, and outside coverage of the 2026 finalists said the jury included 98 journalists from 33 countries with ballots verified by KPMG. That setup gives the Gravity win weight beyond a single magazine test or brand marketing claim. (worldcarawards.com) (electrifying.com) For Lucid, the result does not fix production bottlenecks or settle the wider electric-vehicle sales fight. It does put the Gravity at the center of this year’s luxury-car conversation as the company pushes its three-row SUV deeper into the market. (ir.lucidmotors.com) (worldcarawards.com)
