Lucid Motors has revealed the first teaser image of its future midsize SUV. The photo was shown during the company’s Technology & Manufacturing Day on Tuesday.

The model is slated to cost less than $50,000 when it goes on sale in late 2026. Technical details were not released, but Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson said a full reveal will happen next year.

The vehicle’s production name hasn’t been announced, but Lucid has filed for trademarks on two interesting options.

The first is Earth, which would be on brand with the current Air sedan and upcoming Gravity SUV, while the other is seeped in some controversy.

Its Ocean, which is the name of the first and only electric SUV launched by Fisker before it filed for bankruptcy this June. However, the application is for the two-word Lucid Ocean and is dated May 30th.

Not only was Fisker a potential competitor to Lucid, but the Ocean was in the same price and size class as Lucid’s planed midsize SUV.

The shadowy depiction of the vehicle shows it to feature a curvaceous shape in the style of what’s become known as an SUV coupe.

However, the brand’s next model launch will be the Gravity in the coming weeks. The larger three-row SUV’s price will start below $80,000 and it will be offered in trims with up to 440 miles of range and 800 hp. It will also come from the factory with an NACS-type charging plug, which will make it compatible with the Tesla Supercharger network, as will all of Lucid’s future models.

Its current entry level product, the Lucid Air Pure, is also the most efficient vehicle on sale today. The $71,400 sedan has a 420-mile range and is as efficient as an internal combustion engine vehicle that gets 146 mpg.
