Key Differences
-
The Lucid Gravity has room for 7 seats
The Polestar 3 is clearly behind on seats (5 seats against 7 seats), and that’s one of its biggest weak spots in this matchup. Extra seats mean you can take more people along without taking a second car.
-
The Lucid Gravity has 71 hp more power
A narrow win for the Lucid Gravity. With 560 hp to 489 hp, it’s the kind of difference that adds up rather than stands out. Power is only part of the story; weight, gearing and torque delivery shape how quick a car feels.
-
The Lucid Gravity has 22 mi more electric range
Close, but not identical: the Lucid Gravity lists 337 mi and the Polestar 3 lists 315 mi. Cold weather and highway speeds reduce electric range, so a larger buffer is useful.
