The EV SUV Competition Grows Further: New 3-Row Models from Lucid and Volvo

Right now the EV SUV market is saturated with options, but for those looking for a three row EV, your choices are limited between Tesla, Rivian, and Mercedes, and of the three even still it may be hard to get that third row option due to parts availability, or model availability due to the brand being less established (Tesla, Rivian).

It looks like the market will grow however with two new options. While they may not be exact competitors due to factors like size and/or price, for those looking at 3-Row EV SUV's, these will be serious contenders.

Volvo recently announced the EX90, an EV replacement for its popular XC90 SUV. The key stats for the EX90 is up to 496hp, up to 300 miles of estimated range, 30 minutes for 10-80% charge, 0-60 as fast as 4.7 seconds. Volvo promises the car will be well equipped for under $80,000. Deliveries are expected in early 2024.


Next is the Lucid Gravity. Now this SUV is still more of a mystery as Lucid only teased it earlier today, however it will be their 7-Seater SUV based on the Air Sedan. Like the Air, Lucid promises supercar performance, and more range than any competitors. Deliveries are also expected for 2024.


Any thoughts on these upcoming EV SUV's?

I hope Volvo does a better job with their infotainment software on the EX90 than they did with the XC40 Recharge. I feel Android Automotive (not to be confused with Android Auto) is very lame, especially having owned a Tesla Model S for 5 years.

Looks like its an updated version of the same Android OS used for other Volvo products.

The Lucid Gravity is a very nice SUV/tall wagon.

Not a fan of the Lucid Gravity design. Volvo and Polestar fell of my list entirely once I learned they are owned by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (80%+ for Volvo and 50%+ for Polestar).

I believe the Gravity is still in the “Promise” stage.

There is a Polestar dealer in Tampa. They are advertising heavily on television.
