Lucid has shared a new preview video of its Cosmos electric SUV, giving a clearer look at its design and confirming a later production start. The midsize SUV is expected to launch in the second half of 2027 and aims to be priced under $50,000 in the US.
New Teaser Shows Design Details But Leaves Specs Unconfirmed
The latest teaser footage offered by Lucid highlights the Cosmos’s exterior, showing a sculpted rear and a unique lighting signature not seen before. However, Lucid has not revealed the interior, trim levels, or a finalized production design.
Lucid describes the Cosmos as the centerpiece of its new midsize program. It targets a broader and more affordable customer base compared to the luxury Air sedan and Gravity SUV. Despite the new images, important information like EPA range figures and exact pricing remains undisclosed.
Production Delayed, Latest Timeline and Development Status
Originally set for late 2026, production of the Cosmos has now shifted to the second half of 2027, according to the company’s third-quarter 2026 earnings call. Lucid CEO Silvio Napoli confirmed that testing and final prototyping continue, with pilot production entering its last phase.
This delay reflects ongoing development challenges. Lucid also reported building 2,954 vehicles in Q3 2026, down from deliveries of 3,806, partly due to a shift cut at the Arizona factory.
Range, Battery, Charging, and Pricing Targets
Lucid expects the Cosmos to have roughly 300 miles of driving range from a 69-kilowatt-hour battery pack, notably smaller than the units used by its other models like the Gravity and Air. The company also claims a high efficiency of 4.5 miles per kilowatt-hour.
Charging should allow the battery to gain 200 miles of range in just 14 minutes, but these figures come from Lucid’s internal projections rather than certified test results.
The most striking target is its price, set below $50,000, which would undercut all current Lucid models significantly. Achieving this with a solid range would mark a big shift for the brand, moving it into a more mainstream market segment.
What’s Next for the Cosmos?
Lucid says it plans to announce reveal details and production dates in early 2027. Until then, key specifications like official EPA range, final pricing per trim, and full interior reveal remain unknown. The success of the Cosmos will largely depend on how closely actual performance and cost match these ambitious projections once production begins.
