CADILLAC LYRIQ V FIXES NEARLY EVERYTHING FOR ME!

EV Channels Review

The Cadillac Lyriq V is presented as a significant improvement over its predecessors, addressing many previous criticisms. The reviewer highlights its impressive 0-60 mph time of 3.0 seconds, making it the quickest Cadillac ever. Key enhancements include the removal of the start/stop button, the addition of state-of-charge display across more driver modes, and a vastly improved AKG sound system with Dolby Atmos. While the infotainment system runs on Android Automotive, the Lyriq V uniquely retains Apple CarPlay, allowing Apple Music users to enjoy stereo sound, though native Dolby Atmos requires subscriptions to services like Amazon Music or Tidal. The reviewer praises the engaging driving dynamics, enhanced chassis stiffness, and quicker steering ratio, noting its capability for autocrossing, though it remains a comfortable daily driver. Downsides include the continued use of some cheap-feeling plastics, a non-ventilated wireless phone charger, and a somewhat intrusive augmented reality head-up display. Despite its high price point, the Lyriq V is considered a "killer car" for those with a substantial budget seeking genuine V performance.
