2025 LUCID GRAVITY FIRST DRIVE: NOT JUST AN AIR SUV

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Lucid Gravity aims to blend the practicality of a three-row SUV with Lucid's signature performance and luxury, drawing heavily from the Air sedan's innovations. The exterior design is noted for its unconventional, less boxy shape, optimizing interior space despite a compact overall footprint. Inside, the Gravity features an advanced digital cockpit with a continuous 34-inch touchscreen and an integrated landscape-oriented secondary display. The third row is highlighted as a key improvement over the Air, offering decent space for passengers with amenities like individual vents and USB ports, making it suitable for families. Driving impressions reveal a broad character, thanks to a three-chamber air suspension and optional Dynamic Handling Package. In 'Smooth' mode, it delivers a comfortable, efficient ride with up to 450 miles of range. More aggressive 'Swift' and 'Sprint' modes firm up the suspension, sharpen steering, and enhance throttle response, aiming to provide a dynamic driving experience comparable to luxury performance SUVs. The vehicle utilizes Brembo brakes with a hydraulically coupled system for consistent pedal feel, and its dual-isolated front motors contribute to a remarkably quiet powertrain, a deliberate departure from the Air's audible motor engagement. While the base model retains air suspension and adaptive dampers, the optional Dynamic Handling Package offers a wider range of suspension tuning. The Gravity is now in production, positioning itself as a strong contender in the luxury electric SUV segment.
