2024 Lucid Gravity Review // EXCLUSIVE First Drive + Walkaround
The 2024 Lucid Gravity (pricing TBD; under $80,000 USD starting), is a brand new seven seater luxury EV expected to arrive late next year. While its specs aren’t fully finalized yet, Lucid anticipates the Gravity to have a range of over 440 miles (708 km) and a 0-60 mph time of just 3.5 seconds. It has a cabin optimized for interior space and comfort, and has optional air suspension that Lucid cheekily calls ‘Zero Gravity’. But how is it to drive? Thomas and James are excited to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. And then subscribe, silly.

THEY GAVE YOU GUYS THE EXCLUSIVE RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT?!?!?!? Wow that’s a HUGE milestone!!!!
Probably why they weren't crapping all over the design the way they normally would with a car that looks like this...
@@GonzoHuttlooks fine to me 🤷🏼♂️
@@GonzoHutt looks just fine, just like the air. they didnt crap on the air's design
@@eliaskelly4889 I'm not a fan of the Air. I like this better.
@@GonzoHutt"not crapping all over the design" The nicest thing they said was "it looks better than the eqs, ix and model x"
You guys are definitely filling the gap that the 'real' top gear left. Thank you and really appreciate your hard work.
Wish they would do more roadtrips.
And it's so much better.
Watch AutoAlex, he does proper Top Gear styled road trips
love the banter, and i'm sure once they have a bit more funding they'll do some crazy stuff.@@TermlessHGW
@@cnvdh3514 don't like him. They were great at Car Throttle but since he ventured away, he became all over the place. His style with the arm waiving, chest pumping and mostly forced, cringe humor got old pretty quick. I guess they didn't take him on at Auto Trader for a reason.
Lucid truly came out of the gate as a luxury vehicle and not just arbitrarily assigned into the luxury class like another EV brand we all know.
Well tbf tesla really did push the envelope for what an ev can be, and the high price does somewhat justifies their features, so I guess you could call them a luxury brand
Dude were u born yesterday? Tesla model s came out the same damn way and is the reason for the current ev landscape and infra coz ten years ago Yall was bullying speech impediment shy and balding Elon saying big oil and legacy auto would crush him and never let him succeed coz they have actual mercenaries running around offing ppl who go against the oil lobby ( guy with the water engine etc). Now they all playing catch up and u ppl try to erase the fact that yall bullied and preyed on Elon for being ugly and dumb. Now u wanna make him the villain when he the one who actually went against the villain Goliath that is the oil and auto lobby. U guys are unbelievable.
@@TSERJI Tesla prices don't justify the price. Lol. Kia ev6 has same features, lower price and you get a better put together car 🤷🏻♀️ ....for any car over 40k, the inside of the car should also be luxurious and not made cheaply
@@inublossom I admit, that's something Tesla could work on (and is currently working on). But their software and integration is so well-developed and so advanced compared to other carmakers that it kind of does justify the price (somewhat). And it really is a lot of car for the $40K you're paying, especially if you look at what the competition is doing. But I do admit, again, that Tesla should work on its build quality, as well as putting in more luxury features into its top models (S, X, & Cyberbeast), such as massaging seats, ambient lighting, and a center console fridge. (well, the Cybertruck already has ambient lighting, so just the S/X need that lol)
Car reviews have really come a long way. Throttle House, Hagerty Media, these guys make it so fun and knowledgeable
Carwow recently also left behind by Hagerty Media.
@@purwantiallan5089The false energy from Matt on carwow is griding on me now. Feels disingenuous
Don't forget Henry Catchpole days of Carfection. Especially the Diablo SV review.
Probebly get payed extra also to say extra good things lol
Anyone else agree that Lucid, as a company, is something that you root for? They are taking EV's so seriously. I hope the company is able to stay afloat and become profitable at some point.
I totally agree👍
Agreed. I like what they are doing compared to Tesla. Tesla was nice a few years ago but I don't like that Elon keeps stripping the cars of even basic features, like parking sensors and even the steering wheel stalks. The value just isn't there anymore, in my opinion. Only thing Tesla is doing really well right now is their charging infrastructure.
I am not rooting for their success. Don't like the cars or the company
Well the Air is faaaaar to expensive, they cannot go bankrupt since they are owned by the Saudi government.
@@weirdboy7its so much cheaper against lucid tho ı am not a fanboy of tesla nor lucid but the value for money tesla gives is insane
The front "bench" would be useful for swapping shoes or ski boots. It is always a hassle keeping the dirt/snow out while changing footwear. Also just sitting down after a walk, and enjoying the nature instead of rushing back. Realistically 95% of the time, I would just put a thing in front, so it is a frunk and it is safe storage for valuables, so that people cannot break in without an angle grinder.
That’s actually a great observation. Last winter I went through something similar where five people needed to do that and we all had to balance on one foot against our car.
I wonder if the frunk is like the Air where there is still room under the top layer to store the hiking or snow boots in a safe area away from people breaking into the back. Didn't think about the additional safety issue of the frunk.
Let's play: Spot the Norwegian market feature
@@user-qw6ib8by3nthe Lucid Air costed a little more expensive compared to RSC RALLY RAID CAR.
Split tailgates need to make a comeback, so sad the new land cruiser got rid of it. BMW and Land Rover have stuck with it fortunately.
Hoping Lucid finds success with these vehicles, very eager to see how their tech and driving dynamics trickle down to more affordable models in the future
Lucid thankfully already found plenty of success for that.
I regularly drive in the Rocky Mountains, so I can tell you with some certainty that seat would get some serious use. There's some gorgeous scenic views you could pull right up to, and pop a squat for 45 minutes just looking at... everything. I'd use it for sure.
I really wish the best for this company...I was REALLY hoping they would release a "money maker" SUV so they can get funding to continue doing cool stuff like the Sapphire. Looks like they are doing that!! Awesome!!
By releasing a SUV the masses cant afford and the ones who can afford wont buy it? Awesome indeed!
@@BudgetGamerz If it does turn out to be ~80k, that's not expensive for what it is. That'd be quite good for the segment they're after. Medium/large luxury/sports SUVs aren't cheap but they sell VERY well. Go learn about the history of the Cayenne (which they sell more of in a year than they sell 911s in YEARS...) and X5. That is what I'm referring to. Also, every comment of yours on this channel that I've seen has been quite negative like this. Be happy, dude. Life is too short.
@@BudgetGamerz Do you have any idea how many $80k SUV's are sold every year? A CRAP TON.
You would sit on the front if your Gravity gets rear ended and disabled on day when the weather is nice and you want to sit outside while waiting for the flatbed to fetch you.
@@hardykornfeld1733 I have no idea what tf that was even supposed to say...
Lucid is quickly becoming my favorite EV manufacturer I’m really liking how they’re going
They'll be bankrupt soon
Lucid and Rimac are currently the only real players in the EV space. Everyone else is about a decade behind.
Too bad it's been scientifically established that you should stop buy into the ev hype because it's not healthy or constructive in lowering emissions. Hybrids and bio/alternative fuels and fuel cell technology is much more promising
A neighbor has an Air and it really goes with the modern three storey rebuild behind it. Even the color scheme matches. I've got the mid century bungalow and, appropriately, a blue rav4 in front of it.
They will go private @@scenario7gaming202
Definitely my favourite go to car show now! Superb work Thomas and James. Thanks for making.
As a mechanical engineering student looking to work with electric vehicles, see a company like lucid take on the EV industry is extremely exciting for me. I'm actually going to apply for an internship with them soon. I love what they are doing, their cars are beautiful, they perform well, the battery range is amazing. Great work!
I’m not an EV guy or an SUV guy but damn that thing is stunning. All aspects of this vehicle come together to make this a seriously well thought out E-SUV
It’s got KIA carnival vibes but like premium/EV.
Stunningly unattractive exterior styling, unfortunately.
It looks too much like a Chinese EV imo. Just look at the new Nio ES8 it looks pretty much the same from the front
This is probably the best option out there.
@@alexli5279Nio ES8 in terms of engine notes sounded on par with Gen 1 Formula E Car.
Lucid is really up to something and I'm really rooting for them
Yeah, I like what they are doing WAY more than Tesla. The interior actually looks nice.
I hope Lucid survives long enough for this car to be available for purchase.
Great cars. Company is doomed unfortunately
@@misteratozSource: Elon said so on Twitter As if he doesn't have any motivation to believe that a competitor will fail
Lucid motor only have 6000 costumers pr year 😂
I am BEYOND happy for you guys! This is amazing! Exclusive?! This is absolutely mind blowing I’m so happy for this channel!!!!
man ive been following lucid for a while and im so glad the first video i see of it in use is throttle house. love you guys.
I think it’s a cool look! They have a consistent design across both models. Fingers crossed for a more “base level” model in the future for the rest of us!
Really? I'm not so sure about the boxy long look. Maybe it'll grow on me...
@TermlessHGW Yeah it kinda looks like a van with how flat the front is.
Minivan
Just another vast, grey box. The sheeple will love it.
U have the pinnacle of engineering as ur avi and want an EV. Remove that avi please sir
I was really iffy on Lucid at first but they are making a real name for themselves. I'm still not an EV person, but I respect what they do. I definitely see the appeal of this car, and if I was in the market for a luxury E-SUV, this would be my preference over a Tesla. Its a bit gimmicky, but so is every EV right now and honestly plenty of gas cars as well. Its quick, luxurious, eventful, and not a bad choice for the target market. Very nice, Lucid.
I hope Lucid survives long enough for this car to be available for purchase.
The EV market is for gimmicky people a regular commuter or even a car person will not look to EVs because of the price point and I think lucid is doing a good job at marketing to their target audience
So u prefer the shake rattle and roll of a slow polluting loud clunky ICE car?
@Mabeylater293 loud and polluting, yes. My cars aren't clunky though. In fact the Tesla I drive was more clunky. EVs also pollute a ton just to be produced, but stay bitter bud.
@@Mabeylater293 don't bring up pollution when electric cars are still a massive source of pollution. Just say you like electric cars and move on stop trying to bait an argument
Love the way you do your reviews😊 keep it up guys 💯🙏🏾👍🏾
I love that you put 6ft6 Harrison into everything, to get a perspective of how things fit for a bigger man. Would be nice if you could also have him try out the driver seats of each car, as some cars have decent room in the back but not for the driver.
I'm not a "car guy", but I watch almost all your videos. Love the humor, the videography, editing, pace, personalities... great stuff! Thanks!
Sorry, but you're a Car Guy now; I don't make the rules
Thank you for another great review. The reviews are always entertaining.
I actually love this car so much. Design, tech and features seem so effortless to use. Definitely a new dream car.
congrats on getting the "exclusive" first peak. Y'all do a great job, best car channel. really interesting offering from Lucid. I like most of the styling, but the back pillar is really minivan-ish. That being said, >400 miles of range, really fast acceleration, serious practicality, and what appears to be a luxury-level feel, should spell a winning recipe. Not many vehicles can attempt to squeeze a 6'6 adult in the 3rd row, which is saying something. Looking forward to the final model
I've never been so excited for an SUV in my life. Not because I am actually interested or want to buy it, but because Lucid needs to make some money to survive.
Gotta say it looks much much nicer than initial spy photos (which were very underwhelming) I think Lucid got the styling pretty much nailed. Good job Lucid 👍🏻
You two have been my Fav Car Review/mucking-about personalities for years. Yrs ago, once I saw a red Alfa Romeo 1600 GTV on your 'intro portion' @ the beginning of yer old Reviews, I began Following you. Love yer style and the info you impart. KUDOS 2 U
This looks so far above the competition!! Everything in there makes perfect sense and fully takes advantage of electrification technology! The future is bright!
As a person who likes to enjoy a smoke now and then, but don’t want my car to smell like smoke, having that frunk-seat looks pretty nice
Looking out over a nice view that would be really cool. And with the hood overhead as a rain shield that would work really nice in such a situation.
For me it will be used when shooting my mk18 at my outdoors "range" on my off the grid property, perfect when it rains!
Totally agree with y’all, smoking some grass and relaxing after a game or shooting in a rainy day
Nailed it. Brilliant. Should be in the manual as 420 friendly seating. Answered their question perfectly. Not a smoker but I'm out numbered by 420 advocates. This makes this area so legit. Jeff Spiccoli voice. Internet win.
Wow I really like it a lot. Very tastefully done. Its clean design is like a Villar. Good job guys.
If I were to see this on the road, I would think it was an interesting looking minivan.
Ya'll really make the funniest intros. Always good for a chuckle
Throttle House intros keep getting better and better.
The Lucid Gravity just stole my heart ❤️, what a gorgeous car!!
I love ur reviews. There is no copying Doug or other big names, just you guys enjoying something new and giving it a review. Its fun, entertaining, some very lighthearted but hilarious jokes. Great content
If I hear one more KZheadr say, "quirks and features" I'm gonna puke. 🤣
Love this exclusive content. This is another lovely vehicle I’ll never be able to own, so this is probably the only chance I’ll ever get at looking at it from inside and in detail. Thank you!
Why do you feel so certain you'll never be able to?
@@vipe650r it was just a way of expressing it’s quite an expensive vehicle… not necessarily that I’ll never own it or be able to.
It'll depreciate down to 15k in 8 years. You'll be able to snag 2 of them if you want to.
@@jesusmaciasfranco6276 Yeah, she pricey.
We've come a long way boys!!! Proud of y'all two!!
100% love this vehicle. I am wishing with every fiber of my being for Lucid to survive and see the success they deserve.
Can’t wait to see this car in its entirety! So glad y’all got access to it
I hope Lucid survives long enough for this car to be available for purchase.
@@vorpalinferno9711for that reason alone I wouldn’t buy it.
This looks like a f'ing winner, holy hell they hit the nail on the head. Awesome video BTW!
Don't ever change James 😅😂😊 You guys keep getting better every video. Great review
Awesome to finally see the Lucid Gravity!! Looks really pretty good. Can't wait to see some more in-depth reviews once the thing reaches production. Kinda hope there's an option to ditch the massive piece of glass in the roof. I don't know why manufacturers keep doing that, especially in EVs. Literally nobody wants it, it's going to leak at some point (when, not if), and it adds a ton of weight to the top of the vehicle. Other than that, I really like seeing the Lucid Air design language reflected in the Gravity, the clam-shell hatch, the minimalist light-bar front end, etc. Really cool.
They killed it on the looks of this👏💯
James Camissa is going to have a field day with this one, boys
Loved the in-depth review, guys! I agree that the Lucid Gravity seems like a well-thought-out machine and I appreciate the car's prioritization of comfort and functionality without skimping on speed. The unique styling does set it apart, and I'm excited to see how it fares upon its final production. Those added features like the Sanctuary mode and occasions do add a unique touch. Also, appreciate your sense of humor in the video. Keep up the good work! 👍🚗💨
Great job guys🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate that they're improving design issues from the Air. Looking forward to see it in Prod
Alright, that is something. I was hoping the Gravity would be something like this. Like many, I was a bit skeptical of Lucid, but after I watched Jason Cammisa's review of it, I did some research. Right now, the Air is the only electric car I actually like - if I was ever forced to buy an EV. The Air and the BMW iX (even with the that face). But now, the Gravity is here to fill the EV SUV space. I really hope they make a Gravity Sapphire to dethrone the Model X Plaid. Well done Lucid. Here's to hoping you survive amidst the recent financial turmoil...
Lucid is far too upscale…. And there’s tons of competition for a tiny slice of the automotive pie. A very uphill battle
This won't sell. The design isn't appealing.
@@gustavoflorio5383 the comments for this very video clearly prove you wrong
Please consider these EVs for your purchase! You'll be doing nature a huge favor!
@@michalandrejmolnar3715 Yes, like I'll ever be able to afford one of these. I'd still rather have a big V8. Sorry.
You guys are awesome keep up the good work.
Brilliant stuff guys…. as always!
Lucid is doing amazing things and making STRIKING vehicles. Lovely.
The beginnings are just the best lol
Just found the channel, great commentary and entertaining :) thanks for sharing
Your openings are becoming legendary.
The moment I saw that overengineered tray table behind the front seats, I understood this company is actually going to build a legacy for itself! Absolutely a treat for any tech guy's eyes.
This stuff all adds up to a $100k price. It's cool, but stupid if you're trying everything you can to make EV's more accessible and get more on the road...
@@eedre4864 agreed. A part of me also hates this overengineering lol. Especially considering the current market for EVs, overly expensive inefficient SUV's really aren't the best thing to do.
You two are absolutely awesome!! Love your videos!!
Absolutely love this car. You can tell the thought, skill, and passion that has gone into it with all of the great features and design.
The engine kinda reminded me to Konig D Race Car.
Love watching you guys!
This looks awesome. I think I need Lucid to send me one to review that I might not give back 😅
Lee Iacocca secretly reincarnated to bring back the Chrysler minivan disguised as an Electric SUV. The engineers he brought with him simply yanked out the engine, replaced the sliding door and installed televisions. Masterful.
This is a Home Run for Lucid. 💯
You gentlemen are killing it.
Lmao that intro 😂😂love how Thomas slowly appears when James is smelling something rotten 🤣🤣🤣
looks pretty cool! rooting for you lucid!
Finally one company came up with the seat in front..I been asking myself why there's no car that has it,cause we end up sitting in the boot or dent the bonnet ❤..that's the best feature that will be underlooked
the intro...OMG! well done.
I really been waiting to see the review of this car and it did not disappoint. My wife and I both drive our model X and although we absolutely love it, it would be a much harder decision if this were available at the same time. I am very interested in driving it and it could very well be her next car.
This feels like an amazing and electric replacement for my decade old Flex. I adore my flex and I love lucid, my wife might make me sleep in it for a while, but I want one.
I think Lucid makes the most beautiful vehicles. If I could have one EV, it would be a Lucid. I’m sure the Gravity will be $150k+ and that’s just not going to happen. lol. But, I will continue to admire them. Bravo guys!!
The Air Pure is 70k
I have owned my lucid air for just over 7 months now, best car I have ever owned, it’s just something else,best Ev out there, I don’t think I will go for any other car than lucid.
Genuinely an incredible vehicle.
This is simply so much more tasteful than any of the competing legacy luxury SUVs (ICE or EV). Plus the fact that this actually takes advantage of, well, the advantages, of ground up EV design so much better than any legacy brand EV offering, means that I do really hope this finds its footing in the marketplace and is a commercial success. If I was in the market (which I am admittedly not) for a 100K luxury people mover, this would be my pick.
Jaguar svr bmw x5 and aston martin dbx wipe the floor with this
@@RICTV83so too is Aston Martin DB9.
Given how overpriced the general car market is today, $80k for an SUV EV with 400 mile range? Not bad
I own a lucid air grand touring. Love the Gravity and will definitely get one
First of all, congratulations! You guys really make moves and now get exclusive reveals. I love what Lucid does and, even though SUVs aren’t mine, I think this is more attractive than the competitors. Having said that, I think they wanted to have the wheel the other way around at first and then decided to turn it 180 degrees for the screen. The 12h marker is the telltale for me 😅😂
Wow those tables are insane what a creative vehicle i love when companies do different things like that
Throttle House Team, it’s time for the major networks to recognize the quality content y’all produce! Often time social media influencers/car reviewers produce content where they talk to the talk but can’t really drive the cars they review. We have seen quality content and one of the reviewers (I’m not gonna call him out 😅) grow and learn to drive. Y’all are actual car guys and understand the vehicles you review. Also, y’all understand what the viewers want to hear! Keep it coming! Is it time for the small screen?
Great review as usual!!!! Great vehicle!
I remember when I first saw this concept draw up and now it’s reality. It looks amazing
Looks like a nice minivan.
This will sell like hot cakes. Well done Lucid!
Not with the high sticker price
@@PH-tv2swcompared to most EV’s it’s reasonably priced for where it’s built to compete with.
Not really. Way way too much competition in the $100k+ segment.
It is beautiful but the brand recognition and reputation aren’t there yet. Most people don’t even know Lucid exists and those that do should be worried about the company’s longevity. $100k is a tough ask with these factors.
Not it won’t 😂
Excellent cold start guys!!
well done. Frunk bonding will be a thing because of you two. And, maybe so will their entry into a crowded price segment. For really fancy tables and finally someone/thing 🤷♂️ wishing me a Happy Birthday and New Year, maybe... That is still, only if I click the button myself? 🤔. 👏👏
looks amazing, will order one! have been looking around for a good EV SUV this has to be the best ive seen!
it's a minivan
If I was wealthy enough to own one of these. I could see myself using the front trunk seating while camping or doing some night/landscape photography. Just setup the gear right in front and not get tired from all the standing or need to carry a chair. Useful but niche. I like car manufacturers thinking of what else is possible to use the extra space for than just storage. And the different locations they can appear in. Very hopeful for Lucid to continue to develop interesting cars and maybe one day release something below 40k.
Mate, you always “have to touch it just the right way” 😂❤
I really hope this company makes it. They make beautiful and thoughtful cars.
The Lucid Gravity will be the market leader in terms of range, performance, efficiency, aerodynamics, etc. This would also make a great platform for a pickup truck just like what Rivian has done with the R1S & R1T. It already has a massive frunk and adjustable air suspension for off road capability - so I predict an SUV variant will be made at some point.
Lucid Gravity in my opinion costed as expensive as Lucid Air and Wuling Motors Air EV.
But not deliveries…
"an SUV variant will be made at some point" ... this IS an suv
Love it. Not a bad price for what it is!
I've been a huge Lucid fan since day one. My absolute favorite EV brand
I can't believe you got it first! Very cool. I want one
This has moved to the very top of my wish list. A win in almost every category.Only downside is I don't want to wait another year or two to get an EV SUV.
THEY GAVE YOU GUYS THE EXCLUSIVE RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT?!?!?!?Wow that’s a HUGE milestone!!!!. Lucid is really up to something and I'm really rooting for them.
So futuristic and classy. The style reminded me of something, one e the mentioned Mid-Century Modern I now totally see it.
I appreciate and respect the retro-futuristic design of Lucid all around
This looks awesome. More luxurious than a model x and a true ev design for max range and power unlike a lot of the other legacy auto makers
The intro is so funny actually 😂👍
May be the best intro skit yet
Enjoyed seeing it for the first time. Thanks. I saw an Air parked in of all places my hometown Kansas City, Missouri. Stunning and the attention to design and details I really appreciate. I've watched a lot of Lucid reviews technical dives to where for a first effort they've really nailed it. Best to them. Gotta say for my first time to your channel you guys are a bit to goofy 😢
Can we make requests? I really want to see you guys review the new Czinger 21C. Especially with a track timed run.
