Two big fully electric SUVs are going head-to-head in our latest episode of U-Drags.
The Rivian R1S Tri Max and Lucid Gravity Grand Touring are mega powerful and super quick.
So which is quickest? Watch the video below to find out.

Two American upstarts are going head-to-head in this edition of Edmunds U-Drags. The Rivian R1S Tri Max recently got a face-lift, and it now makes a frankly crazy 850 horsepower and more than 1,100 lb-ft of torque. The Lucid Gravity is a little down on power, making "just" 828 hp and 909 lb-ft of torque.

Both of these SUVs weigh more than three tons, but the Rivan has an extra 600 pounds to lug around. There is a Rivian with another motor that makes even more power, but these two have power-to-weight ratios within tenths of each other. Which is going to be faster on our U-Drags course? You'll have to watch to find out.
