Vehicle Overview

Lyriq offers the best glimpse yet of Cadillac’s future, its on-road demeanor pays tribute to the brand’s most iconic luxury sedans. While several rivals have aimed for quick acceleration and athletic handling, the Lyriq is content to waft—something we think the brand’s faithful will appreciate as they trade in their aging DTS sedans and SRX crossovers to go green. After all, this thing isn’t wearing a Blackwing badge. The Lyriq rides on GM’s Ultium scalable battery architecture, which means it shares its tech with the beastly GMC Hummer EV pickup truck, but the two couldn’t be more different. The Caddy’s stylish bodywork gives it a low-slung look, and its cabin is far posher. A slick digital display starts behind the steering wheel and, with a slight curve, seamlessly transitions into an infotainment display in the center of the dashboard. The driving range is competitive at an estimated 308 miles per charge, and all Lyriqs come standard with DC fast-charging capability to help make the most of America’s burgeoning public EV charging infrastructure.

Optional Extras

 

Cadillac has simplified the Lyriq, creating three distinct trims with an escalating level of equipment. The base model is called Tech and features the entry-level 340-hp single-motor electric powertrain, but this model’s range has dropped from an estimated 312 miles per charge to 308. The entry-level Luxury trim adds more desirable features, and the top-spec Sport wears a more aggressive exterior look that includes darkened chrome trim and a unique grille treatment.

Additional Information

The Lyriq’s base price is for the single-motor Tech trim, which comes standard with a large, curved 33.0-inch digital dashboard display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless smartphone charging pad, a fixed glass roof, 20-inch wheels, and faux leather upholstery. We’d recommend moving up to the midrange Luxury trim, which unlocks customizable ambient interior lighting, wood interior trim, a heated steering wheel and front seats, and adaptive cruise control and opens up the availability of several desirable options including Cadillac’s Super Cruise hands-free driving system. We’d also recommend springing for the 500-hp Dual Motor AWD model, which also boasts a 3500-pound towing capacity.
