Lucid Gravity (US) review

Given its intended role as a family hauler, the Lucid Gravity very reasonably leans towards a more neutral ride rather than splitting the difference in a manner similar to the Lucid Air sedan. With this said, the GT-S version does intend to bring more heat to those who want to tap into the Gravity’s full potential.

Even its lowest power output is still a substantial 560hp, and getting a BEV of this size up to 60mph in just four seconds remains impressive, even if it’s not exactly unheard of these days. What to take away from this is it’s quite quick when you need it to be, especially for the Grand Touring trim and above.

How does it handle?

Quite alright. Glowing, we know, but it’s not a silent barnstormer. In fact, we had higher expectations since the Air was such a triumph. It’s also rather conservative in terms of sporty road dynamics, but that puts it in a similar bracket to rivals like the Rivian R2.

While the air suspension dulls most of the road feel, there’s still great audible feedback in the form of motor whine and tire noise, something Lucid chooses not to mask with revvy sound effects or Jetsons-style oscillations.

Steering is sharp, direct and firm, as is braking, though your relationship with this system depends on your regen tolerances. Sifting through multiple menus gives you the chance to toggle creep or one-pedal driving, and it’s important to note that the driving modes also influence how much regen braking is involved; the less aggressive the mode, the more it lets you coast.
