Lucid Gravity Three-Row Electric SUV To Come Equipped With Hankook’s iON evo AS SUV Tires

South Korean tire company, Hankook Tire and Technology (Hankook Tire) will supply its EV-exclusive all-season tire, the iON evo AS SUV as the original equipment tire (OET) for Lucid Motors’ electric SUV, the Lucid Gravity designed for the North American market.

Lucid Gravity is Lucid Motors' second all-electric vehicle model and a full-size, three-row SUV. Designed to be both aerodynamically efficient and fun to drive, the Lucid Gravity features exterior and interior. Delivering up to 816.6 bhp in Grand Touring trim, it accelerates from 0 to 100 kmph in approximately 3.5 seconds. Moreover, it offers a range of over 700 km on a single charge. Additionally, the range and battery power vary with temperature, driving habits, charging and battery condition and actual results will vary.

Hankook Tire has introduced the ‘iON evo AS SUV,’ a high-performance all-season tire engineered for large electric SUVs, through its collaboration with Lucid Motors. The tire integrates high-performance polymers, eco-friendly materials, and high-concentration silica to deliver grip and enhanced mileage performance across diverse driving conditions year-round.

Notably, the tire is engineered with an optimised stiffness profile to accommodate the increased weight of EV battery packs, ensuring even road contact pressure to enhance driving stability. Additionally, its tread design allows uniform wear, extending the tire's lifespan.
