2024 CADILLAC LYRIQ - POV FIRST IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Luxury 3, presented in Nimbus Metallic, offers a compelling entry into the luxury electric SUV segment, starting around $57,000 and qualifying for tax credits. The reviewer highlights its striking design, spacious interior with ample rear-seat room, and comfortable ride, emphasizing its presence on the road. Positives include the smooth power delivery, well-calibrated one-pedal driving, and the functionality of Super Cruise. However, the reviewer notes some drawbacks: occasional rattles and creaks from the interior materials, a somewhat stiff steering feel at low speeds, and a heat pump that can be noticeably loud at idle. The AKG sound system, while generally good, is considered a disappointment compared to other Cadillac models. Despite these minor criticisms, the Lyriq is praised as a strong effort from Cadillac, offering a comfortable and well-equipped luxury EV experience, particularly the rear-wheel-drive version which provides sufficient power for most drivers.
