These are two of the most compelling premium electric SUVs you can buy with a third row, and they split along a clear line: the Lucid Gravity is the range-and-luxury champion, while the Rivian R1S is the adventure-and-off-road pick. The Gravity leads on the numbers that travelers care about, up to 450 miles of range versus the R1S's 410, more cargo room (21.3 cubic feet behind the third row of a seven-seat Gravity against the R1S's 17.6, and up to 120 cubic feet in all), and quick ~24-minute DC fast charging. The R1S counters with class-leading off-road capability, a proven adventure-brand pedigree, an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award, a generous 9.9-cubic-foot frunk on top of its 17.6 cubic feet behind the third row, and seven seats as standard (the Gravity seats five unless you add its optional third row), though it now starts higher ($83,990 vs. $79,900). It's also the quicker car, 0-60 in as little as 2.6 seconds (R1S Quad) versus 3.4 for the Gravity Grand Touring (Lucid's new GT-S claims about 3.1). Choose the Gravity for maximum range, cargo, luxury, and a lower entry price; choose the R1S for trail capability and ruggedness.
Range, luxury, and space vs. trail capability
The Gravity is built around long-distance comfort. It tops out at 450 miles of range, the most here, pairs it with up to 120 cubic feet of total cargo space, and leans into a luxury-focused cabin that seats five as standard, or seven with the optional third row. The R1S takes a different mission. It's a seven-seat adventure SUV with class-leading off-road capability, 17.6 cubic feet of cargo behind the third row (48.6 with it folded) plus a usable frunk, and the rugged, trail-ready character Rivian is known for. On performance the R1S is actually quicker, 0-60 mph in as little as 2.6 seconds (R1S Quad) versus 3.4 for the Gravity Grand Touring (Lucid's new GT-S claims about 3.1), though both are seriously fast. The decision here is about how you'll use the car: the Gravity rewards highway road-trippers who want range, space, and refinement, while the R1S rewards buyers who want to leave the pavement and carry gear.
Charging and NACS access
Both now have a native NACS port, the Gravity from launch and the R1S from the 2026 model year, so either plugs straight into Tesla Superchargers without an adapter (2022–2025 R1S models still need one). The Gravity charges faster in our data (about 24 minutes versus 36–38 for current R1S trims).
Price, safety, and brand
On price, the Gravity now opens the door lower, starting at $79,900 versus $83,990 for the R1S. The R1S tops out at $121,990 (Quad), while the Gravity runs to $98,900 for the Grand Touring, or $125,900 for Lucid's new 2027 Gravity GT-S, so it is cheaper to get into and, below the GT-S, cheaper at the top too. Safety credentials favor the R1S, which carries an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award, a strong reassurance for family buyers. On brand, the two appeal to different instincts: Rivian brings a proven, adventure-focused identity with off-road bona fides, while Lucid positions the Gravity as a technology-forward luxury flagship. If you want a documented top safety award and rugged capability, the R1S makes the case. If you want a higher-luxury experience with a lower price of entry and longer range, the Gravity answers.
