Battery & propulsion complaint analysis for the 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity

— Insufficient Data
Pack Lucid Gravity 118 kWh
0 battery-related complaints 0.0 per year 0 battery-related recalls

Too few field reports to rate this generation against peers yet. Most recently launched models accumulate complaints over the first 2-3 years.

Source: classified from NHTSA complaint and recall data. "Battery-related" includes high-voltage propulsion battery, charging system, hybrid drivetrain, electric propulsion, regenerative braking, 12V auxiliary battery, and thermal-event complaints. Other complaints (suspension, steering, brakes, infotainment) appear in the engine and vehicle-level sections. Rates are absolute counts, not normalized per-VIN — high-volume models naturally produce more raw complaints than low-volume ones. Self-reported death and injury counts are capped per complaint to limit form abuse.

Known issues

High
2026 Gravity Back Over Prevention software recall (NHTSA 26V-018, January 2026) covers a rearview-camera display failure on vehicles running software older than v3.3.20. The camera image may not appear when reverse is engaged. Free OTA remedy.
NHTSA recall
High
2025-2026 Gravity second-row lap belt anchor recall (NHTSA 26V-192, March 2026) covers insufficient welds on the second-row seat lap belt anchor brackets, which fail to comply with FMVSS 207 and 210. Not a battery issue but safety-critical for any used buyer.
NHTSA recall
Medium
2026 Gravity seat backrest cover recall (NHTSA 25V-855, October 2025) covers incorrect front-seat backrest covers that may prevent side air bag deployment. Free dealer repair. Not a battery issue but documented as part of the early-production defect cluster.
NHTSA recall
Low
924V architecture enables 400 kW peak DC fast charging on capable chargers and charge curves above 300 kW into the high state-of-charge band. Real-world peak rate is limited by charger output. Charge curve drops above 70% SOC, normal for ultra-high-energy NCMA chemistry.
Owner-fleet data
Low
Lucid service network is small and concentrated in coastal metro areas. Out-of-warranty pack work concentrates at Lucid Service Centers; mobile service handles most other items. Plan for service logistics before buying if you are outside a major Lucid service region.
Owner-fleet data
Low
Touring (single-motor RWD-biased, 620 hp, 386-mi EPA) and Grand Touring (dual-motor AWD, 828 hp, 450-mi EPA) trims share the same pack hardware. Range difference is consumption, not capacity.

How this pack ages (industry context)

Industry fleet aggregates: 2.3% average annual capacity loss across 22,700 EVs / 21 models (Geotab, 2026), and 95% range retention at 5 years on average across 30,000+ vehicles (Recurrent, 2026).

OEM warranty floor on this pack: 8 yr / 100k mi to 70% capacity.

Public per-pack degradation curves are not available for most models. Individual results vary materially with climate, charging behavior, and DC fast-charge frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity problems?

The 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity has zero NHTSA complaints on file as of our latest data pull. This is a pre-data vehicle; production began in late 2024 and there are fewer than 18 months of field data available. Early owner-forum signal exists but is not sufficient to characterize failure patterns.

Which Lucid Gravity engine is most reliable?

The 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity is a battery-electric vehicle with dual permanent-magnet motors (Touring and Grand Touring trims). There are no traditional engine options to compare, and there is not yet enough field data to assess drive-unit reliability.

Is the 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity a good used car?

It is too early to say. The Gravity Grand Touring started shipping December 2024 and the Touring trim launched November 2025. J.D. Power VDS inclusion is pending and Consumer Reports data is not yet available. Prospective buyers should treat any early-production EV with caution and consult recall status by VIN.

How many NHTSA complaints does the 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity have?

The 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity has zero complaints filed with NHTSA as of our latest data pull. Complaint counts reflect owner-reported issues, and the absence of complaints on a brand-new model reflects low volume in the field, not a guarantee of reliability.

What recalls affect the 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity?

There are 3 NHTSA recalls affecting some 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity vehicles: seat-backrest covers that may block side air bag deployment (25V855), rearview camera software (26V018), and second-row lap belt anchor bracket welds (26V192). Recall status varies by VIN — check the NHTSA recall database at recalls.nhtsa.dot.gov with your specific VIN to confirm which campaigns apply.

What should I check before buying a used Lucid Gravity?

Before buying a used Lucid Gravity, verify all open recalls are completed via the NHTSA VIN lookup tool, with particular attention to the three early campaigns (seat backrest covers, rearview camera software, and second-row lap belt anchor welds). Request maintenance records, have an independent mechanic inspect the vehicle, and run a vehicle history report.

Does the Gravity have NHTSA crash test ratings?

NHTSA has not published crash test ratings for the 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity. Not all vehicles are tested each year. For the latest NHTSA safety information, visit nhtsa.gov/ratings.
