2023 CADILLAC LYRIQ 450E RWD DETAILED REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Cadillac LYRIQ 450E RWD is presented as a significant step forward for Cadillac's electric future, built on the versatile Ultium platform. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's all-new design, emphasizing that nearly every component is bespoke for the LYRIQ, avoiding the GM parts bin. Key strengths noted include its quiet and comfortable ride, impressive suspension with a focus on 'isolated precision,' and a luxurious, detailed interior with authentic materials. The expansive 33-inch infotainment screen, powered by Unreal Engine for stunning graphics, is a standout feature, offering extensive customization and integration with Google services. The reviewer praises the vehicle's handling, noting its smooth performance even on varied terrain, and commends Cadillac's efforts in noise suppression and active noise cancellation for a premium cabin experience. While real-world range and charging curve data were limited due to the media event format, initial impressions suggest accurate range prediction and capable charging speeds. The lack of a rear wiper is a point of discussion, though Cadillac claims it has not been an issue in winter testing.
