One of the only Cadillac's in recent memory that I love the styling of.
-
My 72 yo dad has this car. The software is glitchy but he loves this car. He wanted the ultimate isolation / relaxation car and this car fits the bill. He’s owned pricier ice vehicles, but they can’t compare to the smoothness of the electric motor. I just hope this car won’t leave him stranded as many other lyriq owners have experienced.
-
I test drove the ‘23. Love this car.
-
Greatest car I've ever owned! BEAUTIFUL TOO... I got the triple coat white.With the big twenty two inch wheels, all wheel drive, Sport level three...OMG, it is QUITE, a machine!!!!!! It's actually, a computer on wheels!
-
I live in Virginia and i see them new cars in Virginia Beach Cadillac Lyriq they are nice i cant wait to own a Cadillac and im only 23 so by the time i turn 26 i would definitely get it
-
It's wild that this car seems so much better than the Blazer EV despite going on sale much earlier
-
Re the exterior door handles: These flush door handle designs were on late 1950’s Chrysler and 69-70 Grand Prix. The trick is left thumb, left door; right thumb right door. Press the larger part of the handle with the thumb first then use rest of your finger/hand to pull the door open.
-
I was really excited about this car. I live in San Francisco, which is full of EVs. I’ve seen a total of 2 since the Lyriqs release
-
Nice review. Small error: this interior is artificial leather. Real leather is an option on some models.
-
I absolutely love mine. ❤
-
2:20 If you press the front part of the handle they will present themselves again.
-
I heard from the local dealer that the front light modules are $800 a pop because they include the controllers for the light show feature. Gone are the days when you can just change the bulb if the light goes out…
-
I appreciate your report on this. You guys largely do an excellent job. But I think your testers need to be more exposed to EV’s in daily driving. The On/Off button is a negative, not a positive. I have an EV. My car is on as soon as I get in. I don’t need to wonder if it’s on, and I don’t need to push a superfluous button to turn it on. I just press the brake pedal, and shift into “D”. I think once a person lives with this feature, they definitely come to prefer it.
-
Why the added complexity, cost, etc of a power operated charging port door? I am sure owners could push on the lid and have it pop open. Just another major point of failure as it is accessed often.
-
People don't buy Cadillacs enough anymore I don't know why theyre such nice cars
-
Looks good!
-
What has the charging experience been like?
-
Someome has one in my neighborhood. It makes a whining ethereal sound when it passes.
-
The door that covers the charging port looks very sketchy. I've seen videos of users opening it on the Cadillac as well as the Chev Blazer. In every case the operation of the door is not confidence inspiring. I expect that once the warranty runs out there will be many of these driving around with the door missing. First impressions are important and when something as simple as a fuel flap looks poorly done - and power operated - it's not confidence inspiring.
-
Flush-mounted, motor-operated doorhandles are simply stupid. The added range from the reduced drag is tiny and it comes at the cost of potentially not being able to get into the car after an ice storm. Just give me regular door handles, please -- they always work, they are cheaper, and they won't break.
