CADILLAC LYRIQ REVIEW, TOP AUTO INNOVATIONS, CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

EV Channels Review

The Cadillac Lyriq, Cadillac's inaugural EV, is a generally impressive midsize crossover that offers a luxurious and quiet experience, particularly for long-distance travel. Hosts Tom and Jill were largely pleased with its performance, noting accurate range estimations even in cold weather (around 307 miles advertised in 30-degree temperatures). The interior is described as beautifully done with appealing accents, and the vehicle doesn't overtly force the EV experience on the driver. However, minor drawbacks were noted, including a slightly firm ride around town and a haptic button for song advancement that was occasionally problematic. The charging experience, a common EV pain point, was also highlighted, with one host experiencing issues with an Electrify America station. Despite these points, the Lyriq is considered a strong contender, especially given its price point relative to other luxury vehicles, and it qualifies for the $7,500 tax credit.
