Edmunds got 400 miles from the 2026 Lucid Gravity Grand Touring fitted with all-season tires, a result that falls 50 miles short of the vehicle’s 450-mile EPA estimate. The shortfall works out to 11.1 percent, and the test was run at an ambient temperature of 82 degrees. Edmunds also tried summer tires and got 388 miles.

Gravity Grand Touring: 400 Miles Against 450
The row on Edmunds’ real-world range chart lists the two-row Gravity Grand Touring on all-season tires at 450 miles EPA and 400 miles tested, with a change of negative 11.1 percent. Tested consumption was 35.0 kWh per 100 miles, which the chart marks as 12.9 percent worse than the EPA basis, and the EPA consumption column is not available for that row.
Edmunds‘ Gravity review says both of its results fall short of the EPA’s 450-mile estimate: 388 miles on summer tires and 400 miles on all-season tires. The review does not give EPA range by wheel or tire. It does give EPA range by trim, 337 miles for the Touring with the 89-kilowatt-hour battery and 450 miles for the Grand Touring with the 123-kilowatt-hour battery.
The tire result is worth a closer look. The 388 miles on summer tires is 62 miles, or about 13.8 percent, below the 450-mile estimate, while the 400 miles on all-season tires is 50 miles, or 11.1 percent, below it. Moving from summer to all-season rubber therefore recovers 12 miles, roughly 3 percent, which is why the chart row specifies the all-season configuration and why the two numbers should not be mixed when comparing trucks.
Battery size explains the trim gap. The Touring pairs an 89-kilowatt-hour pack with a 337-mile EPA rating, and the Grand Touring pairs a 123-kilowatt-hour pack with 450 miles, so the larger battery adds 34 kilowatt-hours and 113 miles of rated range. The Edmunds page lists the Touring at $81,750 as the starting price and does not give a separate Grand Touring price, so the tested vehicle sits above that entry point.
What Edmunds Says About the Rest of the Gravity
The shortfall did not sink the review. Edmunds gives the Gravity an expert rating of 7.8 out of 10, labeled Excellent, and calls it an impressive electric SUV in many ways. The Touring starts at $81,750. Among the listed pros are the Edmunds-tested 400 miles of range, rapid acceleration and impressive handling, a spacious interior with two- or three-row seating, and very quick recharging.
The cons are inconsistent fit and finish and driver-assistance operation that can be unrefined at times. Range is not among them. Edmunds lists the tested 400 miles first among its pros, so the review treats the number as a strength even though it sits below the label.
Other long-range models on the chart show how unusual a double-digit miss is. The 2027 Tesla Model Y L Premium AWD is listed at 358 miles tested against 328 EPA, up 9.0 percent at 84 degrees, and the 2022 Lucid Air Dream Range, the Gravity’s own sibling brand model, finished within 15 miles of its label. A shortfall of 50 miles on a 450-mile rating is therefore the outlier among the rows reviewed, not the norm.
How the Gravity Compares With Other Rows
Falling short of an EPA label is the minority result on the chart. The 2022 Lucid Air Dream Range shows 505 miles tested against 520 EPA, a shortfall of only 2.9 percent at 67 degrees, while the 2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range Launch Series matched its 327-mile rating exactly at 64 degrees. The Gravity’s 11.1 percent gap is the largest shortfall among the rows reviewed, and the next closest is the Air.
Two variables stand out on the Gravity row. Edmunds’ own results differ by tire type, 388 miles versus 400 miles, so a buyer who specifies summer tires for looks or grip should expect a result about 12 miles lower than the all-season figure. The 82-degree test temperature is also warmer than most of the rows reviewed, which matters because Edmunds lists ambient temperature for every vehicle on the chart.
The Gravity row also leaves several questions open. The chart lists tested consumption of 35.0 kWh per 100 miles and does not provide the EPA consumption figure for this configuration, so a reader cannot see from the page alone whether the miss came from higher energy use than the label assumes, a smaller usable battery, or the choice of tires. Edmunds attributes the difference between its two tests to tire type, and that is the only variable the review isolates.
Edmunds’ range tests have drawn criticism before. In an earlier dispute, as InsideEVs reported, Tesla objected that Edmunds underestimated range by not running vehicles until they died, and Edmunds said it would make improvements and run more tests. That history is useful context for the Gravity number, since the chart is meant as a real-world complement to the EPA process instead of a replacement for it.
