The Lucid Air has managed to truly impress as a premium EV that combines luxury appointments and blistering performance in an elegant package. The company promises to carry over that aesthetic to its next offering, an SUV called the Lucid Gravity. Lucid's latest teaser provides a glimpse of how that translation might look.

Like the Air, the Gravity will be about maximizing efficiency, Lucid says. That manifests itself in areas like the company's compact electric motors, which allow for better packaging and more interior space. Engineers and designers have also prioritized aerodynamics; the Air sedan boasts a very slippery 0.197 drag coefficient. Lucid isn't revealing numbers for the Gravity yet, but lead designer Derek Jenkins promises that it'll be "by far the most aerodynamic SUV, ever."

Head on, the Gravity offers a taller version of the Air's face. With an illuminated horizontal bar that stretches headlight to headlight and vertical DRLs, it remains on-brand alongside its sedan sibling's distinctive light signature. Out back, a taillight bar mirrors that of the Air as well, and we can see a commonality with its C-pillar shape.
