"It's like driving a UFO, said Ben Collins, professional racing driver, now-retired Top Gear Stig and onetime Lucid spokesperson. He was right, but all of that spacecraft-grade technology didn't feel fully baked right away. At first, the Air's come-from-nowhere excellence was undermined by software bugs. The interface was pretty but complicated, and prone to freezing, all while the car's proximity-only smart key was notoriously slow to recognize the car."
"My bone to pick with the Gravity started five minutes after the fleet company dropped off the vehicle. I took the keys and drove, hopped in the driver's seat, and moved the Gravity about 30 yards from street parking in front of my house, to the parking pad I have behind my house, accessible via an alleyway. I parked, locked the car via the new fob, and went inside."
"The Lucid Gravity is a big deal for the brand. The Lucid Air sedan, although fantastic, is inherently not going to light the sales world on fire. Big sedans are kind of a non-starter in a crossover world. So, the Gravity is meant to make up for lost time and establish Lucid as a bigger player, via more sales. The brand took the basic guts of the Air sedan and, in theory, improved on them for its next act."
The Lucid Air initially impressed with exceptional build quality and driving feel but suffered from software bugs and a slow proximity-only smart key. Lucid later improved the smart key for the Air Pure, earning recognition. The 2025 Lucid Gravity SUV launches with a smart key, an app, and a conventional fob, yet access and recognition headaches persist. Immediate owner experience problems began minutes after vehicle delivery during a short move and lock event. The Gravity represents a crucial volume play for Lucid, adapting the Air's platform to a crossover format while targeting range and high performance.
