LUCID GRAVITY GRAND TOURING RANGE TEST PART 2: THIS TIME IT GOES THE DISTANCE

EV Channels Review

This follow-up range test of the Lucid Gravity Grand Touring in warmer Arizona conditions aimed to rectify the issues encountered in a previous New Jersey test, which was hampered by cold weather and a reported rear drive unit problem. The reviewer successfully completed a 70 mph highway range test, achieving an impressive 401.7 miles. This result significantly surpasses the initial 345-mile test and demonstrates the vehicle's capability in optimal conditions. The reviewer noted that the Gravity is highly sensitive to temperature, with a 20-degree Fahrenheit increase leading to a substantial improvement in efficiency and range. While the vehicle's EPA rating is 450 miles, the reviewer concludes that a realistic highway range at 70 mph is likely between 350-380 miles, though it can exceed 400 miles in ideal weather. Minor software glitches and an unreliable key fob were mentioned as persistent annoyances, but the overall driving dynamics and performance were praised. The reviewer also confirmed the vehicle's impressive charging speed.
