2026 LUCID GRAVITY | TALKING CARS WITH CONSUMER REPORTS #485

EV Channels Review

Consumer Reports provides a comprehensive first look at the 2026 Lucid Gravity, highlighting its impressive 828 horsepower, spacious three-row interior, and remarkable powertrain efficiency. The reviewers praise the vehicle's exhilarating acceleration, smooth highway ride, and the significant improvements in its driver-assistance systems compared to previous Lucid models. The interior design, comfortable seats, and unique 'tranquility' charging experience are also noted as positives. However, the Gravity is not without its flaws. The review points to a lack of refinement in certain areas, including software glitches, misaligned panels, and frustrating user interface elements like unlabeled touch-capacitive steering wheel buttons and a complex lower touchscreen. Visibility is a significant concern due to thick A-pillars, and the unique steering wheel design is found to be awkward during low-speed maneuvers. The reviewer also notes issues with the electronic door handles, seat comfort for some, and a peculiar center console tray design that can trap items. Despite these shortcomings, the Gravity shows promise as a strong contender in the luxury electric SUV market, with Lucid's ongoing over-the-air updates expected to address some of the current software-related issues.
