EV Channels Review
The Cadillac Lyriq represents a significant step for the brand into the EV space, aiming to modernize its image. The reviewer highlights the Lyriq's exceptionally quiet and refined cabin, which offers a comfortable and airy experience with good material quality for its price point. The interior design successfully balances physical and touch controls, avoiding excessive gimmickry. Driving dynamics are praised for feeling natural and like a conventional car, with good steering and brake calibration. The rear-wheel-drive setup is noted for its smooth performance. However, drawbacks include a disappointing AKG audio system, which is considered subpar for a premium product, and the usability of the exterior "butt and push" door handles. While the chassis tuning is generally good, the lack of adaptive dampers leads to some wallowing over bumps, and the vehicle's weight impacts ultimate handling. Despite these criticisms, the Lyriq is seen as a strong, well-executed first attempt at an EV, prioritizing a comfortable, unremarkable driving experience for conquest buyers.
