I AM a Gravity in the Wild in NH!
My 2022 AGT is in for annual service, and I got a surprise of a Gravity (7-seater) bronze 21/22 loaner. I had test-driven one earlier in the year, but it is just a tad too big for my needs. I was impressed, however. After driving it for a day, highways and local, I'm honestly impressed by how well it drives and handles the backroads and is so stable overall.
Cons: just a bit too big
accelerator pedal seems too small, and my foot doesn't feel planted (this could be because I have the seat higher for better windshield visibility). Some unintended deceleration.
learning curve on the expanded UX options is rather daunting, a whole new learning curve
seats are comfortable but not as "contoured" as in the Air
Surround Sound (not Pro) is pretty impressive on its own right
For some of the controls on the left side of the glass cockpit (lights, wipers, etc), having to swipe to expand choices is distracting. (Can we customize a "top 5" to be fixed?)
Not used to climbing UP UP into a vehicle
not thrilled with the NACS connector; still evaluating location of charging port on the driver's rear side (my home charger will reach with no issues; only DCFC on road trips)
miss my soft-close doors (not sure if they are optional)
Pros:
dedicated surface to rest my left foot while driving
fob is more solid and doors have opened immediately as approach the car so far
glass cockpit and pilot panel (higher and horizontal) is MUCH better than needing to look down in the Air
being able to see over the car in front of me
Cavernous room and head room
extra outlets everywhere (haven't tried phone charging yet).
UX capabilities are light years ahead of the Air; can't wait to see how UX 3.0 is implemented in the Air (and the Cosmos).
pilot panel is up much higher
the "pads" on the steering wheel controlling sound/infotainment fwd/rev functions and the adaptive cruise control are firmer/more stable and functional
raising/lowering height - there are some killer speed bumps the Air has issues with no matter how slowly I drive - switching to swift does help sometimes
the drive control and feel is impressive
turning radius seems tighter
like the beep letting me know the trunk is opening
like the wide-open space in the rear for storage for larger items
like the layout of the center console in the front is more solid
I'm looking forward to checking out more before I turn her back in, but I'd be more likely to buy a new Air or a Cosmos (depending on how it turns out), if/when I'm ready. I'm at 82K miles, so leasing is just not in the cards.
