The reviewed car is the Lucid Gravity, which is Lucid's first entry into the SUV market, and the reviewer believes this vehicle may save the company.
The exterior of the car is recognized with some styling that has mini-van inspiration. The test vehicle is all black with a blackout package, has a Tahoe interior, and costs $122,950. The car has optional extras including larger 21-inch and 22-inch wheels and rear-wheel steering.
The car is all-wheel drive, with dual motors, and a 900V architecture. The Lucid Gravity has an all-black blackout package, 828 horsepower, 909 pound-feet of torque, 440+ miles of EPA range, and 350kW charging capabilities.
The car's range is rated up to 450 miles, however, the reviewer never saw 400. Also, the 450 miles of range is likely only achievable with the two-row five-seat version. When the reviewer began daily driving the car, he was only getting about 386 miles of range.
The Lucid Gravity is the first, and only vehicle in Lucid's line-up, with the NACS port so that owners can charge the vehicle without an adapter at Tesla Superchargers.
The car had some issues with the key fob. The car looks more mini-van like than the reviewer remembered.
With regards to the car’s software, it's described as easy to use, stable, and quick. There is no Apple CarPlay.
The reviewer describes this car as the closest thing to a Li Auto Mega in the US.
There is the same amount of interior storage as in a Cadillac Escalade IQ, but the Lucid is shorter. Both the front and rear of the vehicle feature clam-shell openings.
The speaker system is good.
He found it comfortable and the visibility is massive.
A high point is the interior’s high-tech approach with its storage options. Also notable is a 15-watt wireless charging center console. The vehicle is equipped with folding rear seats. The rear seats are comfortable with great legroom, headroom, and plenty of sun-roof.
The driving dynamics offer a comfortable ride.
The reviewer states the Lucid Gravity is his favorite seven-seater electric car. It feels refined and luxury oriented, yet retains the handling of an enthusiast-focused vehicle.
