LUCID GRAVITY REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Lucid Gravity is presented as a pivotal "make or break it" vehicle for the brand, aiming to blend the practicality of a three-row SUV with a sporty driving experience. The review highlights its exceptional interior packaging, offering vast usable space within a relatively compact footprint, and praises the high-quality interior materials and solid construction, a marked improvement over previous models. The aerodynamic design is noted for its efficiency, though some find its fastback-like appearance resembles a minivan. Key criticisms include potential high consumable costs (especially tires and glass replacement), and early software glitches that Lucid is actively addressing via OTA updates. The audio system is also flagged for its poor speaker placement and lack of customization, despite decent objective testing. Mechanically, the Gravity builds upon the Air's platform, featuring a sophisticated multi-link suspension with optional air springs and dynamic handling packages for adjustable ride height and performance tuning. The chief engineer emphasizes the focus on ride comfort, efficiency, and refined handling, particularly in managing regen braking and body motion. While the engineering is lauded, the reviewer cautions early adopters that some features and software refinements may take time to materialize.
