Many thanks to those who posted on the forum that the Gravity was at Resorts World in Las Vegas! We happen to be on a family trip in Las Vegas, and my son noticed a Gravity driving down the strip last night. We speculated about why it was there.
I have been excited to see a Gravity, especially with my son. He is a huge car nut, loves our 2022 Air Grand Touring, and is the perfect guinea pig for seating room. He is a little over 6’3”, about 230 pounds, and has particularly long legs. He loves our Air, especially for the leg room. He played for a hockey team who’s home rink was 2.5 hours away from our home, so we made round trips of 5 hours, 4-5 days a week, not mentioning the more far-flung rinks we traveled to for games. Plenty of room in the front or back of the Air for my tall boy, a nice big frunk for the hockey bag (so we couldn’t smell it), and plenty of range to make it to the rink and back, without needing to stop for a charge (even in the cold weather of Northern New York, bordering Canada).
We went to see the Gravity today. The Lucid employees there were very welcoming, friendly and informative. We had the opportunity to test out the interior space, which is important to me. We have a tall family and a lot of interest in room for seven passengers. I have been very curious to see, in person, if it’s really as good as Lucid and the reviewers have represented it to be.
My son got into the driver’s seat and set it to his normal driving position. Next, he got into the second row to adjust the seat to a position he thought we be comfortable for a long trip. Then, he climbed into the third row. He was blown away. We have a Jeep Grand Cherokee L (with a third row), and a Yukon Denali XL (with a third row), and he is very uncomfortable in the third row of both for an extended period of time. In the Gravity he had plenty of leg room in all three rows and had head room to spare. He felt very confident that he would be comfortable there for a long trip. He also had absolutely no difficulty with ingress and egress, getting into the third row through the door. The seat tipped forward and the electric motors moved the seat forward very nicely, to create the room to get through easily.
The Gravity was stunning and gained a lot of attention from the people entering and leaving the hotel. The large “Gravity” lettering, added to the side of the vehicle, took away from its appearance a bit, but the style of the vehicle is amazing. It’s shaped a bit like my Jeep Grand Cherokee, but with the cabin stretched forward a bit, giving it a shorter front hood section. I believe that is why some say it slightly resembles a minivan. To me, it looks no more like a minivan than my Jeep. When raised to the highest suspension level, it had considerable ground clearance. I think it could do more capable off-roading than people on this forum have been speculating.
I have had many SUVs…a Blazer, Trailblazer, 2 Suburbans, a Jeep Gand Cherokee, a Jeep Gand Cherokee L, and a Yukon Denali XL. I have used them extensively on dirt roads, farm fields, trails through woods that were barely cleared, and very rough terrain. The Gravity may not be designed for rock-crawling or extreme off-roading, but after seeing it today, I would feel as comfortable on the terrains I traverse as the SUVs I have used thus far.
Just a little feedback, as I have been seeing many people on the forum interested in the Gravity features.
