Gravity Air Suspension range published!

Range published

In reading your posted image, I'm curious why you're thinking 1" steps? I read it as meaning 3 discrete height choices (5, 7, or 9).

Was there something else you came across indicating 1 inch increments?

5 ride height options

5 ride height options

The Gravity press release mentions the ability to manually adjust the ride height, but it doesn't state in what increments.
One inch increments would seem likely, but I don't see it officially stated anywhere.

It could easily be some uneven increment - optimization of the ride quality vs ride height may not translate exactly to one-inch steps due to the details of the air suspension.

Well, let’s go with what we do know

5 - lowest
x. - low
7 - Standard
x. - High
9 - Highest

I read the headline of this post, and I thought it was going to be something like projected highway range at the different ride heights.

I'd actually be really interested to see that data. I'd also be very curious to know what the "auto" ride height mode is. I'd like it to set to low ground clearance at highway speeds, to maximize range, and then lift up to higher clearance at low speed, so as to maximize the ability to go over poorly design driveways and the like.

That's what I'm thinking as well.

There are five heights. Smooth and Swift default to Standard, and Sprint defaults to Low.

The heights are: Highest, High, Standard, Low, Lowest.

The OOS video had it in “Lowest”

The configurator says "The adaptive air suspension offers a balanced 7.0-inch ride height, with the flexibility to raise up to 9.0 inches for increased clearance or lower to 5.0 inches for improved aerodynamics and efficiency". So, with five ride heights, it's manually adjustable in 1-inch increments between 5 and 9 inches, would be my understanding.

I recall reading a 2023 press release:

Sorry, didn’t think about that one.

I think it's awesome that Lucid has managed 450 EPA miles range from a vehicle whose lowest ride height is the same as the Air, and then can raise four more inches when needed. Wonder if all the EPA testing was done at the lowest ride height? Seems not, as EPA testing is done at vehicle default settings.

It seems likely that the Gravity will automatically lower at speed, that's what Teslas with air suspension do.

Gravity defaults to Smooth and Standard height, so those are the settings the range would have been tested at, is my guess.

Lucid publishes a vehicle height of 1656mm. Do we know what ride height that corresponds to?

Our Audi E-Tron GT had height adjustable air suspension. Lowest was 4.9”, highest was 6.5”, only accessible at low speeds. Typically the car stared off around 5.7” and then dropped in stages as speeds increased.

I’d imagine Lucid would be similar- in my mind they must have figured out a way to get it into the lowest ride height approaching freeway speeds to get the EPA test results they did.

I'd buy a Gravity if it were slammed and chopped.

If I (5-7) can't reach the middle of the roof when I wash the car = not interested.

Some young wipper-snapper fug me up a photoshopped slammed and chopped Gravity so folk can see what I mean.

 

[boydracing]

Yeah, my MBZ E63 also would adjust at speed automatically. If felt so nice at speed and was noticeably lower. If the Gravity drives as good or better than my E63 (I fully expect), I will be very happy. I will just need to make the stock car engine sounds...

 

[Cosmo Cruz]

Sold an E63s to get the Lucid GT.

no regrets

 

[msaunders9430]

If the ride height ranges from a low of 5" to a high of 9", then something is not right with what I'm seeing.

The first picture below is from a showroom event. The second is from the recent NYC event. That looks a lot more than a 4" difference lowest to highest. @037 did you see any set at lowest ride height?

 

[037]

Sounds like I should go and test that right now…will see if they let me play with it

See if you see camber changing as it goes up and down if you get the chance.

Someone bring an angle gauge and measure!

Actually you could use your phone...
