Lucid introduced a three-row SUV called the Gravity.
Its the startups second car, after the Air sedan.

Lucid, the electric vehicle startup founded by a former Tesla chief engineer, is moving into the SUV segment.

The company on Thursday released details of its three-row Gravity, which it says can deliver up to 440 miles of battery range, surpassing Tesla's top range of 405 miles.

Lucid has so far struggled to turn a profit with its first car, a luxury sedan known as the Air. Over the summer losses mounted to around $500,000 for every car the company sold.

In a US car market that greatly favors large SUVs, Lucid has had trouble drumming up demand for its debut sedan. Like rival Tesla, Lucid has resorted to slashing prices on its slow moving cars throughout the year.

Expected to go on sale later this year, the Gravity will start at $80,000, Lucid said. Here's a closer look:
