US electric brand Lucid has confirmed plans to attack the UK market late next year with a new mid-size SUV to rival the Tesla Model Y, potentially alongside the new larger Gravity SUV, which was given a European debut at the 2025 Munich Motor Show.
Speaking at the event in Germany, the company’s CEO Marc Winterhof told Auto Express that Lucid “will enter the UK with a mid-size platform”. While the brand is officially remaining tight-lipped about its future models, we do know that this incoming platform is set to be the basis of both a Tesla Model Y and Model 3 rival. Winterhoff said this new architecture is scheduled to arrive in December 2026, with a target price from around $50,000 (£36,900).
That would undercut both the Model 3 (£39,990) and the Model Y (£44,990), although any word on specs, range and performance is still some distance away, even if the car ends up getting the green light for the UK. In the meantime, you can find plenty of great electric car deals via the Auto Express Find a Car service.
