Lucid Motors updates the Gravity SUV by adding support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Since its market launch in 2024, owners of the Gravity SUV from Lucid Motors have been demanding compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from the California-based manufacturer. This request has finally been addressed by the company with the latest OTA software update for the vehicle.

The latest software version for the vehicle, Lucid UX 3.5, which adds this functionality, is already being rolled out progressively to all Gravity models circulating in North America. Owners of this premium electric SUV in Europe and the Middle East will begin receiving it before the end of the current month of March. Likewise, all new Gravity models leaving the production line at the company’s plant in Casa Grande (Arizona) will already come with this software version installed as standard.

The integration of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into the Gravity will allow users of iPhone and Android smartphones to connect their devices, both wirelessly and via USB cable, so that the interfaces of these systems are displayed on the impressive high-resolution (6K) Clearview Cockpit screen located on the vehicle’s dashboard. In this way, drivers will be able to interact more easily with their mobile devices, accessing maps, music, messages, call logs and other smartphone apps directly from the vehicle.

“Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are two of the features most requested by our customers. With this update we are offering a seamless connection between mobile devices and the Gravity, significantly increasing comfort and the on-board experience.”

The Gravity’s user experience moves up a level

The Gravity is one of the electric vehicles on the market that supports the highest charging power, with peaks reaching up to 400 kW. This makes it possible to add more than 320 km of range to the vehicle in just over ten minutes. The integration of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will now make those short waiting times during a mid-journey recharge even more pleasant, allowing owners of this premium electric SUV to check emails, read received messages or even watch a video without having to pick up their mobile device, and on a larger screen.

With the addition of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Lucid Motors thus responds to one of its customers’ main requests, thereby strengthening the Gravity’s competitiveness in a market where smartphone integration is almost a standard.
