The verdict

These are two of the most compelling premium three-row electric SUVs you can buy, 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, a roomier roughly 42 cubic feet of cargo, 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, and a generous frunk on top of about 33 cubic feet of cargo, 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 a very roomy roughly 42 cubic feet of cargo, and leans into a luxury-focused three-row cabin. The R1S takes a different mission. It's a 7-seat adventure SUV with class-leading off-road capability, about 33 cubic feet of cargo 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.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Lucid Gravity or Rivian R1S have more range?
The Lucid Gravity has more range. It offers up to 450 miles of maximum range, while the Rivian R1S tops out at 410 miles, a 40-mile advantage for the Gravity. Both are strong by three-row electric SUV standards, but if maximum range is your priority, the Gravity leads. Keep in mind that real-world range varies with trim, wheel size, towing, terrain, and weather, so your results will differ from peak EPA-style figures.
Can the Rivian R1S use Tesla Superchargers?
Yes, natively on 2026-and-newer models: the R1S now has a built-in NACS port, like the Gravity. 2022–2025 R1S models use CCS1 and need Rivian's adapter.
Which is faster, the Lucid Gravity or Rivian R1S?
The Rivian R1S is quicker off the line. In its quickest configuration, the Quad, the R1S can hit 0-60 mph in as little as 2.6 seconds, while the Lucid Gravity Grand Touring does it in 3.4 seconds (Lucid's new GT-S claims about 3.1). Both are genuinely fast for large three-row SUVs, and the difference is small in everyday driving. The R1S's edge reflects its performance-oriented adventure character, but neither car will leave you wanting for acceleration.
Which three-row electric SUV is better for families, the Gravity or R1S?
Both are strong family choices with different strengths. The Rivian R1S carries an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award, seats seven, offers about 33 cubic feet of cargo plus a frunk, and adds off-road versatility. The Lucid Gravity counters with more maximum range (450 vs. 410 miles), more cargo (about 42 cubic feet), and a luxury focus. For trail capability and a documented safety award, pick the R1S; for range, space, and refinement, pick the Gravity.
