Genesis GV70 vs Lucid Gravity: Specs Compared

Running cost over five years: at the EPA's 15,000-mile-a-year assumption the Lucid Gravity burns about $700 of fuel annually against $800 for the Genesis GV70. That $100 yearly gap compounds to roughly $500 over five years and $800 over eight — often more than the price difference between two trims of the same vehicle, and the single largest running-cost line item separating these two.

City and highway economy: the Lucid Gravity leads in both cycles — 115 mpg city and 106 mpg highway against 103 and 88 mpg — so its fuel-efficiency advantage holds whether you commute in traffic or cover long highway miles.

Powertrain choice: the Genesis GV70 is recorded with 4 distinct engine configurations (SIDI & PFI, 5 mode, with Sport Mode), the Lucid Gravity with no. Across 22 recorded Genesis GV70 configurations and 23 for the Lucid Gravity, the wider the engine spread the more the real-world fuel efficiency depends on which version you actually buy, so check the specific model year and drivetrain rather than the headline number.

Drivetrain and class: the Genesis GV70 is offered with All-Wheel Drive, the Lucid Gravity with All-Wheel Drive. All-wheel drive typically costs one to two mpg combined against the same vehicle in front- or rear-wheel drive, which is worth remembering when the gap between these two is small. The EPA classes them as Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD and Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD respectively — the class drives the interior volume, cargo space and passenger space each one is measured against.
